APARTMENT THERAPY TO THE RESCUE

Apartment Therapy is no secret in the world of home decor blogs. I've been a loyal reader for quite some time, so naturally I turned to them with a question I've been pondering since moving in. Luckily, they considered it a "Good Question."

Check out the reader answers here: Can Dark Walls Work With Dark Wood Molding?

And here is a picture of the room in question.  Please try to ignore the temporary tables, the unpacked boxes and the haphazardly hung pictures on leftover hooks. But totally take notice of the alien cats, uh I mean molding.

SANTORINI DREAMING

On our honeymoon Mr. Eric and I went to lovely Santorini, Greece. We stayed at an amazing hotel in Oia called Perivolas.  How much plaster, concrete and white paint do you think it would take for us to get our house to look like this?  We may even have to bleach the cats (totally kidding.)

Especially beautiful was the lighting.

We hit the Monastiriki flea market in Athens, which is where we were told the owner buys his lamps, but we came back sadly empty handed.  Even so, I find myself remembering back to those rooms when I think about the feeling I'd love our house to have.  Effortless, natural and inviting.
