Red symbolizes strength, power, and courage, but at this time of year we associate it most with love and desire. Around Valentine's Day, it seems like red is everywhere, but in some homes, red is a permanent—and vibrant—fixture year-round. Aside from beauty, what are the benefits of decorating with this strong color? Some enthusiasts cite the concept of color psychology, which examines how certain colors can affect our moods and behavior. For example, as red is considered a very energizing color, it might be good to use in a rec room or a high-traffic area like the kitchen. Color psychologists warn, however, that simply being in a red room can actually raise blood pressure, which makes red a bad choice for some folks. And note that red increases appetite—witness its extensive use in fast-food advertising—so dieters might want to go easy on it in the dining room. Psychology aside, there are lots of reasons to decorate with red, as this rich, vivid group of rooms prove. While some take the plunge and swathe a space in the color, others use it primarily as an accent in an otherwise neutral room—but they all celebrate the power of this warm, attention-getting hue.
The restaurant keeps a hidden séance room on the second floor and reserves a table for the spirit of the former owner each night.
Furnishing with leather is fairly tricky. When it works, it can look sexy, interesting and totally stylish. When it doesn’t, it can become a clichéd, hideous mess. Whether you’re one of the excited or embarrassed people who saw ‘Fifty Shades of Grey,’ there’s a lesson or two you can learn [...]

Burnham Red’s similar to our Paprika paint, but a little more vibrant for those who like a brighter colour. It’s not a true red, but a burnished, brick shade that’s more relaxing to live with. Try pairing it with Salt, an off-white colour with a slightly red undertone.
Fall undoubtedly is one of my favorite times of the year which is why I love to use fall wall art decor to make my home feel warm and inviting.
I was recently invited for a press dinner at Masq, a New Orleans inspired restaurant located in Turtle Bay (Midtown East) that opened in March 2013. The owners, Nora and George Chaprastian, who are true New Yorkers, fell in love with New Orleans and decided to open a place to celebrate Louisiana cui

I can't recall who, but someone on the Facebook group suggested I could do some posts on Medieval Gothic decorating. Although I have a huge admiration for people who choose to decorate in extremely dedicated Gothic style, I personally prefer an eclectic blend of Victorian, Edwardian, Medieval, and entirely fantastical with just a few Gothic touches for my own home. But you can't argue with results, and these results are...well...WOW. I'll start with a picture of a room that came up on the first page of Google results. I clicked on it to discover it's actually the old bachelor pad living room of a local friend of mine who is an incredible medieval reenactor. He would be the first person to remind me that the majority of the images in this post are not really Medieval...they is Victorian Medieval (this is my favorite response when people ask me what my favorite time period is)...a fictional time period created by the Victorians to romanticize the actual medieval period and make it seem far more enticing than it actually was. Think...Pre-Raphaelite art and Arts & Crafts decor by Morris & Co. Similarly, most "Gothic" interior decor is an amalgamation of time periods ranging from Medieval to Renaissance and Victorian, all with a Gothic, Ecclesiastical theme. But oh, so pretty. (Many thanks to Lisa for identifying this gorgeous bedroom from The Witchery in Scotland...I would LOVE to go there someday!) A great way to instantly Gothic-Medieval up a room is to add icon-like art and frames. I've seen frames like these appear at my local Hobby Lobby stores once in a blue moon. The previously mentioned Lyndhurst Castle is a great example of Gothic architecture. I adore the below example, because while it is very very Gothic, the headboard appears to be growing vine. I wish I knew the story behind this! Thanks to Mags for identifying this bed from Little Retreats....it is from a place called The Menagerie. Of course you could always actually live in a castle too...like Neuschwanstein If you are lucky enough to find beautiful Gothic stained glass windows, what a headboard they will make! Thanks to Lisa for identifying this bed, made by Scottsdale Art Factory.

Hello everyone, I hope you had a lovely weekend. We got a couple of cm. of snow here overnight last night. It started while we were at a little country church for a candlelit Advent celebration.It was the perfect touch...gently falling snow on the drive home. I took a couple of shots today of our library. It needs a bit of tweaking and our tree isn't up in here yet but still I am enjoying the cozy look. The tablecloth is leftover fabric from the curtains that I was happy to get at a thrift shop last year. Another angle of the room. Our tree in the library last year. We always put a real tree in here so it can't go up for week or so yet. Tea by the fire is always a nice winter treat. Get warm and cozy while you enjoy a cup of tea by the wood burning fireplace. The boathouse last year ....so far this year it is still in summer mode....slow I know! So, what about you are you all decorated for Christmas? Thank you for visiting! Carolyn
