NEUTRAL PALETTE FOR COUNTRY HOUSES

DREAM… DREAM… DREAM… I can’t stop daydreaming… since we talked about this idea of buying a country house!

Why not a neutral or white palette for my future country house? It’s fresh, it’s clean, it’s more like a “modern-country” style!

I would like to share with you some images from my “Inspiration Library” that expresses the neutral palette I am so in love with... Check it out, and tell me what do you think?



























QUICK TIPS: QUITE WHITE

Written by Jane Dagmi
Roger Turnbow, VP of design for the Mitchell Gold Co., offers advice on maintaining white upholstery: Accessorize with other textiles, apply "fabric protection" treatments, and in the event of stains, spot clean with cornstarch, salt, or commercial stain removers. A professional upholstery cleaner can always assess the situation.

Machine-wash linens on "warm." For white linen, use an oxygen-based bleach rather than chlorine, which can cause yellowing.

Remove linen items from the dryer while they are still damp, then finish drying on clothesline; overdrying can cause linen to become brittle.

Iron linen while it's still damp. Or, store damp items in a plastic bag in the refrigerator to prevent mildew and make pressing easier.
