House Tour: Vintage Vignettes

Scandinavian style inspired gray-painted wood floors. Tracey upholstered a mix of chairs with vintage grain sacks—easy to do with a staple gun.

"Make your style our own," Tracey advises. "I wish I had a simple name to describe my style, but it doesn't fit in a neat little box. I call it French Nordic. I love vintage French decor, but I also love Scandinavian style, with its pale painted furniture and clean lines. I combine the two."

Tracey loves whites, but to warm up her rooms, she says that "once I buy a white paint color, I won't use it a second time. This way, the whites on the walls  and furniture  throughout my house are all mix-and-match. That adds interest. I also like to add pops of color—mostly blues and greens. I love using colored glass. And I throw in some dark wood pieces among the painted pieces to keep things warm."
