Has Tiffany blue ever looked more beautiful? Country Living has a lovely new feature on Vicki Gordon's dreamy New York City brownstone. Gordon, an editor for 60 Minutes, enlisted the help of the talented Lizabeth K. McGraw, owner of Tumbleweed & Dandelion in Venice, California to bring the interior design to life. (Check out my post on visiting the store here.) The house has a chic, yet family-friendly design that incorporates things like salvaged barn doors, vintage French linens and antiques. C'mon! How fabulous!
Take note of this great design tip: Paint an accent color on the back wall of a visible pantry, built-in bookcases (below) or furniture like a hutch for some real pop.
The wall color (Desert Tan by Benjamin Moore) looks so nice paired with this robin's egg blue.

Amazing what some simple greens can do to give a room a cheery, holiday spirit.
The consistency of this design is what makes it work-they've stuck to the neutral color palette paired with shocks of blue. It can be hard to edit yourself, but look at the results!
