Adding Warmth to a Mostly White Room

Hello everyone!

I love white rooms.  However, with the cooler weather finally upon us, I've been craving a little bit of warmth in my mostly white house.  I already have dark brown wooden floors which is a huge help in offsetting all of the white.  However, I wanted a bit more.  So, I decided to bring in some more brown tones and wood.  It still keeps my rooms feeling soft but adds more dimension I think.

The first thing I did was to add stacks of old brown books in a large wooden tray to my coffee table.

I'm liking it already!  Then, I moved a few of them up to my mantel (sorry, white books that I just added recently).  

Then, I brought in a burlap pouf.  I like the look of burlap and the texture.  Plus, it is functional as well as stylish.

Over in my sitting room, I added a rustic wooden tray with rope handles.

I'm loving these changes and the warmth it brings to the space.  It keeps these rooms from feeling "too sweet".  I like the juxtaposition between the feminine and masculine too.

It is supposed to be beautiful here in GA this weekend.  Do you have any fun plans?  I will probably help my son with a school project and go to the movies to see The Martian.  Has anyone seen that yet?

Thanks for stopping by!
