THIS PHOTO Inspired by Cynthia’s black-rimmed enamelware
collection, the living room features thin black lines and plenty of
white. Gray walls softly bridge the shades. The fireplace gained
more prominence with the couple’s simple version of board-and-
batten paneling above the mantel. They painted a section of the
wall white then built a frame of furring strips. Natural textures and
wood finishes offer organic sensibility. OPPOSITE Cynthia takes
a break from blogging and designing in her sunlit kitchen nook.
