“Keep it simple” is Ginger Barber’s motto. Her love of an uncomplicated look, paired with natural, textured materials provides the cornerstone of her delightfully harmonious designs. Ginger approaches interiors with a neutral palette. She prefers solid white, beige or a subtle repetitive pattern, and then lets nature take its course.

What to look at first in this killer room - House Beautiful

Striped floors, gingham chair, chandelier, cream, coffee table - very sophisticated Pottery Barn for grown ups.  I love the neutrals and the lack of any deep colors.

Target Linen Drapes

I am sure that the Textured Belgian Linen Drapes at Restoration Hardware are fantastic.  I just don't understand why anyone would pay that much for one curtain panel UNLESS you only have one half a window in an entire house and really want that quality.  I found a very similiar drape - ok well, it's linen at Target.  They are $24.99 each which is pricey for Target but not for linen drapes.  They have them in a 95" or 96" (can't remember and it's just an inch) size which is what I needed for our entire first floor.  I bought every panel they had in two stores.  I called first and they put them aside for me at customer service.  Yes, they are plain old taupe linen but look FABULOUS up on the rods.

Loft/Den/TV Room - what is this room?

This is the Dried Grass again looking completely green. I also learned through tons of searching that Sherwin Williams actually creates the paint for WalMart and it is their midrange quality which is about $30 a gallon in the SW stores. My biggest fear is that WalMart either discontinues the paint or the color so I bought extra. Almost 3 full gallons extra.

Too many choices and ONE chosen

After trying to decide on the Pottery Barn, Benjamin Moore collection and testing over 22 colors on 11 walls, I had it down to one Restoration Hardware shade. Then I changed my mind! Not RH Flint, Bay Laurel, Silver Sage and not even the plain old browns they have in the shade of flax ~ just nothing worked with what I had in mind. Downsizing from 3800 sf to 2200 sf was a big choice and the paint needed to be just right. I searched online and found someone's bathroom I loved in a WalMart (did you even know they had paint?) color called Dried Grass. I bought a small can and bunch of other shades to try my swatch project again. I loved the Dried Grass immediately. It was the tan/green I had been looking for forever. I also was THRILLED to see that the price of the paint was substantially less than even the big home stores in the areas (HDepot and Lowes). I spent about $250 on all the paint/supplies etc.. and I love the shade. It changes with the daylight, nighttime and it's better looking than I could imagine. I still wish I had a place for the Restoration Hardware Butter paint color b/c I think it's gorgeous. But, I committed to 4 colors in the house and 1 paint choice and I stuck to it. Editing sucks for the most part but I am happy with the outcome.
