Sandstone, linen and late sun.
Pale sandstone walls, grey-green shutters and a tall casement window onto autumn maples: an 1840s stone house in Perth, Ontario, in the last hour of sun.
Two matching oak nightstands stand either side of the bed, each with a pleated lamp. Oatmeal euro shams, white linen and a sand knit throw keep the palette close to the stone.
The channels give the headboard a measured rhythm. When low sun reaches the surface, the slender ridges catch it and leave narrow shadows between them. The same pattern runs around the base, so the bed feels considered from the headboard to the rounded foot.
There is no need to fill the room with decoration. The old stone has its own character, and Chianti brings a gentle order to the space.
