  1. The library is fantastic with the door trim framing the shelving. The light slot is perfect! Here's to wood beam ceilings, arches, enfilades, soft colors, muted tones, simple clean materials and details.

    Salute!

  7. Greet,

    These spaces are so appealing! Wonderful choices.

    Yo won't believe this, but I had a dream with you last night! I'm not sure why, but we're pregnant we've these super vivid dreams, it feels so realistic! I had a dream that I was having dinner with you in your kitchen (I think I really loved that picture you shard w/ us) and you had made some special Belgian pastries for dessert! :-)

    Can you believe this? :-)

    Wishing a great week, my friend.

  11. Greet,

    They are all lovely. I especially love images #4, 7, and 10. I also love the windows in image #5 and the bookcases in the last image.

    Wonderful photos Greet.

  14. The colonial style Bell Jar lanterns in the 1st photo are my fixture of choice, and very popular here in the mid-atlantic region of the US. In photo 2 - LOVE how the graphic painting mimics the lines of the lantern. Besides that, I can't help but wonder how many requests Lefevre gets to construct library walls with secret doorways - what a great design!

  15. Neutrals are growing on me, thanks to you.

  16. It's all a visual feast - so sumptuous! Love, Love, Love. Can't wait to have a home of my own someday, where I can incorporate so many of these ideas.

    Thank you for your effort to bring these wonderful images to your readers.

  17. The floors! Every single rooms has fantastic floors! And of course books and art. I always seem to graviate towards those rooms.

    Fun comment from Donna re: library walls with secret doorways. I want to hear your answer to that one too!

    Love to you,

    Mon

  21. I love the room done by Vogt Interiors, the light grey is just beautiful and it's done so well. I must say that the three headless bodies is kind of eerie, though.
    I love the last one also, I would love to have a room that has every wall lined with books. So warm and homey feeling.
    Hugs, Cindy

  22. *** My heart SOARS when I see your postings, Greet....... Oh, how I feel these spaces are so very truly "US" (my Jim n' I)... maybe it's because we spent over 18 years living in Europe... after all those wonderful years, we FEEL we are 1/2 European, & our memories make us so grateful for those years & experiences & friends with whom we still communicate...

    Soooooo heartwarming... so warm, welcoming and truly beautiful.

    Sincere thanks,
