Home Decor Inspiration: French Inspired Texas Serenity {Kay O'Toole}

Before we dive into the interior design
inspiration and genius of creative dynamo
Kay O'Toole, an apology.
I totally goofed in that last post
when I swear I was not drunkblogging,
but rather my nerves WERE thoroughly frazzled
and I foolishly relied on Pinterest for
the source credits.
 |
| Sad but true for me occasionally as a very human blogger. |
To cut to the chase....
I didn't recognize the inspiring kitchen above
as the very same exquisite one below,
designed by Kay O'Toole
which occupies real estate on
every tasteful pin board on planet earth.
I apologize for the error (attributing it to
Houston designer Eleanor Cummings
and not Ms. O'Toole) and
will strive to do better...because
though I don't take myself overly seriously,
I respect and honor the interior
designers who put their names to
projects we admire online.
Lonny featured Kay O'Toole's incredible
Houston home in 2013, and the images
you are seeing here are from their
"Neutral Territory" article which,
if you think about it, is rather
timely conceptually, given America's
division and political climate at
the moment...what if somehow a
neutral territory emerged (and I am
not suggesting a war or agression
aimed at a group of people!) which
neutralized the negativity and hate
we see hurled back and forth?
NEUTRAL TERRITORY...
a Switzerlandish babystep into peace,
which so often precedes a pouring
out of loving kindness.
That is my wish today and the spirit
in which these words were posted.
And thank you, blogland for
forgiving all the errors and
oopsidaisies I try to avoid. :)
Kay O'Toole's Houston home is based upon a
1700s New Orleans French Quarter home,
