White-on-Gray-on-White by Kelly Deck

One of my colour theory students, Natalie Ochmanek, recently toured a local Millionaire Lottery House designed by Kelly Deck Design. She generously shared her photographs with the class so I thought I’d post them so you could have the tour as well!

image This is a close-up of the drapery fabric in the living room, I don’t know who makes it but I thought it was a good first photo to show the gray-on-gray palette in this house. It’s also a continuation of my recent ‘What everyone should know about Gray’ post. Do you see the blue and gray green combination?

image I like how the drapes have been installed directly underneath the molding.

Notice the light, wide plank hardwood flooring. No chocolate brown in this house!

image I thought this little owl--sitting on a book--was adorable. If it was placed there without the book acting as a pedestal (as I described in this post) it would not be nearly as effective! Quick, take that one-off object on your end table and just find a matching book (to the colours in your living room) table transformed!

image Love the white-on-white kitchen with the mosaic backsplash to bring in some texture! image

The wallpaper at the end looks very cool and festive! The gray theme has been continued here with the cabinet colour. Which undertone is it? And what about the undertone of the tile floor? Who wants to guess?image Here the books have been wrapped with kraft paper to give them a uniformed and neutral theme, it is a show house after all. image

Love the floral fabric on this upholstered chair!

image The Chesterfield sofa! One of my favourite styles (and in one of my favourite colours!), so great in a library or media room!

Look at these book cut-outs for an inexpensive and creative way to give dimension to the walls!

Okay, I would love to know if this is some kind of paper, or if an artist wrote it on the wall. And what does it say?

image Great tufted sofa with the black and white artwork! image And every show house needs a nursery!

image

And a serious ‘bling bling’ mosaic backsplash. This is one of my favourite ways to use mosaics, go big or go home, I say!

image

Love this light fixture (from Target)!

Hope you enjoyed the tour! Have a great weekend!
