I recently came across the home of Emily Loxton, a colour consultant and mother of four. This re-vamped family home has been tastefully restored in a cool palette of charcoal greys and cools whites. In 2007, Loxton relocated her family from their large family home to a smaller house just around the corner. Changes to the existing house included splitting the lounge and dining room to create a third bedroom, creating a champagne room used solely for drinks with girlfriends and moving the staircase to make an open-plan living room.
The stunning Emily Loxton at the entrance to her gorgeous home
A functional yet simple kitchen with a French provincial feel. The clean and minimalistic colour scheme of crisp white and cool grey adds to the simplicity of the design
Charcoal upholstered dining chairs and a whitewashed table create a chic dining space with a slightly formal feel. The clock wall hanging (is it just me or are these everywhere at the moment?) anchors the space beautifully
Glass cloches are a welcome addition to this side table. Elements such as the perfume bottle, fashion illustrations and flowers add a feminine touch
Loving the glossy black cabinet in the living room - simple and understated
How many people have the luxury of a champagne room in their house? The charming chandelier provides a stunning focal point to the room. Loxton confesses that her husband had big dreams to spend the money on a vespa, however I stand with Loxton on this one - what a fabulous investment piece

Wow, her house is so lovely! This is very similair to what i am thinking for our new house. I love the crispness of the white walls with the gray. I love the sentimental touch in her son's room. What a lucky boy to have a fireplace in his room!!
