Dreamy California Home Tour

Did you see this incredible home in House Beautiful last month? When I saw it I almost dropped my jaw it is GORGEOUS.

The design is by designer Myra Hoefer. The article states that she designed in a "white, monochromatic color scheme, mixed with lots of texture"to make the large, open rooms feel more livable.

What do you think? Do you love this home as much as I do? Sometimes I get so wrapped up in the use of color and pattern that I forget how truly awe inspiring a neutral design scheme can be.

    I'm just in awe of the light! Oh and how funny are those hoof stools in the kitchen?

    I think the kitchen and the bathroom are my favorite. The mirrored-vanity in the bathroom is insane!

    I love color too much to actually live in a house like this, but I truly do admire completely neutral homes. It has to be done *just* right to not be boring, and this house has done it just right! :D

    Beautiful! I love to look at that, but if it were my own house, I think I'd get tired of no color after a while... but everyone is different. No matter what, it's amazing to look at!

    This post just reminded me that I never received my last House Beautiful issue! It looks absolutely beautiful, I agree with you, I sometimes forget how beautiful neutral spaces can look.

    Very well thought out and designed spaces. When color is absent, your choices of color must be spot on!

    These rooms are gorgeous! Though I'm with Hyphen Interiors, while I love the idea of living in such a soothing & neutral house I know that I'd eventually crack and go on a colorful furniture and accessory binge :)

    A very playful design without the use of color - a great demonstration of how to use texture and contrast to create an interesting space. I love the mix of rustic and modern details!

    This is stunning! I forget to go white, or even monochromatic. I'm trying to bust out more white walls in our new house and take it a little easier on color. :-)
