Just a touch of color expertly applied make these rooms of neutrals more appealing.  When rooms have flowed into each other, Ms O'Hara has used a carry thru color, this is crucial to maintaining a compatible color scheme.

In the Dining Room below, the green chairs carry the subtle color from the Living Room, and make a bolder statement.  Love the border painting at ceiling level which reinforces the ceiling height.

The other carry thru color of turquoise is the accent in this family room.  Grey is a neutral and there are several colors that are great as accent colors.  This designer, Martha O'Hara has used two of the best ones;  lime green and turquoise, both of these are happy colors.

Lots of creative styling in this small powder room above.  This is one room most of your guests will use, so it is an important room to treat creatively, the mix of color and proper lighting give this small room lots of interest.  Perfect overhead lighting is not as important in a powder room, so it is a great space to use those fixtures with dimmer lighting.

Vintage Bathrooms - One Can Dream

Most people with Interior Ambitions dream about that vintage bathroom. The use of tiles: creamy or white, bright or subltle, wallpapers or faux painted, gorgeous chandeliers, shining brass or stainless--these are the dreams of a vintage bathroom. Although the reality of life and modern day comforts sometimes do not meet up with vintage; one can always dream.
