Rooms with a Brood










What shall we call this? This funky, mix-y vibe that the depths of winter often put us in? So dark and moody. 'Broody?' I like that.

"The room's air was broody and sullen, like the season's own, full of storm clouds."   (Nicholas Proffitt) 

Yes. That about sums it up.

Sorry there's no credit for 3 and 4. I started gathering before blogging and didn't think to credit. 

Don't mess wid me today. I'm broody.

Can I brood with a smile on my face? Because 1,2,&3 make me soooo happy! Broody, yes, perfect adjective. So broodiful. ;0)

All about the broody spaces! Maybe it IS a winter thing... Also, it's surprising to me how well the corrugated metal works in that vignette. It reminds me of a lot of what I saw in Denmark. I do think that the very aged commode does wonders for that vignette- it's that juxtaposition that's doing it for me. Lauren

they're like fancy caves.
i tend to think these rooms look best in pictures. this is an almost impossible look to achieve in reality.

Splendid Willow sent me here, and I'm glad she did! I have to say that the first two rooms make me think of all the uses of reclaimed wood AND how I'd like to have a hunting lodge to escape to on the weekends.

Great post! I love the vibes of the rooms. Masculine, clean, cold but oh so intriguing.

I like that second photo - makes me think of Andrew Wyeth's Helga portraits.

Gorgeous grays!
We just painted our TV room Farrow and Ball "Hardwick White". It's a wonderful moody gray.
Thank you for the inspiration!
