Sweater Weather

Where are you????
I don't know what to wear...

I am in Limbo between seasons
all I want to do is wear 
my fall clothes...

Guest Post : Arcadia Lighting

Welcome Joanna 
from Arcadian Lighting
an online retailer offering decorative home light fixtures since 2002 
Be sure to check out their website and blog

Rich chocolate and crisp white make a lovely pairing for any room of the house. This soothing color combo works equally as well in a contemporary setting as it does in a traditional one. The proof is in the pudding (chocolate, anyone?) as they say, so we provided the most gorgeous examples of rooms with chocolate and white, from deep stained floors to white topped table lamps, these spaces are simply yummy.

How inviting is this chocolate velvet bed with pure white chenille coverlet? French styling with carved accents of rope and shells give the bed charisma. Cream walls bathed in light from tall windows make for a warm and welcoming sight to a beautiful morning.
Desk Decor

The Lennoxx via†

Deeply hued walls and flooring provide the stage for a mirrored bed reflecting bright white accents in the form of a moose head and stark bedside lamps. Creamy chocolate bedding makes you just want to melt into it.

Ashley Goforthís chic bedroom design boasts a stately white tufted headboard, plump goose down bedding set against warm chocolate walls. The velvet pillows play off of the crisp linens beautifully.
Dining Room Decor

House Beautiful via

Chocolate and white with subtle touches of blue make for a inviting dining room/living area. Love how the substantial white molding around the windows pops against the deep hue of the walls.
Living Room Decor

My Design Chic via

This living room stays true to a chocolate and white color scheme from its Asian latern to the monogrammed pillow on the sofa. Colorful pink flowers would look lovely in place of white ones on the table, donít you think?

Could this be another view to the room above? From this vantage point, we can see a desk accompanied by a Francis Elkin lacquer chair. Loving the hanging lantern right above the table.
Dining Room Decor

This room proves that a simple duo of color can be exciting. The design by Nate Berkus includes chocolate velvet dining chairs and dark espresso floors. Donít you just love the pair of little chandeliers hanging over the table? The perfect glamorous lighting fixtures for this space.

Dreaming of stardom? This sumptuous home theatre, with its soft velvet chaise lounges, would make anyone feel like a celebrity.

I need to quick trip to 
NYC 
to get my fix...I can't believe it has been almost 10 years since I lived there!  
I usually go up a few times a year - last trip was in January and it was FREEZING...
may need to run up there before I need my fur for some easy inspirations....
