San Francisco Decorator Showcase 2013 :: Writer’s Retreat

May 10, 2013 · Comments { 1 }

Fresh, airy and chic describes the Writer’s Retreat designed by Kriste Michelini for the San Francisco Decorator Showcase 2013. The light filled, attic room on the Pacific Height mansion’s third floor features whitewashed floors, grasscloth walls and chic furnishings.

A platform bed with vibrant mix of patterned throw pillows (many of which are from Caitlin Wilson) and whimsical Kandy wallcovering in Brit Pop by Elitis is perhaps my favorite spot in the room.

A vintage inspired chaise in turquoise sits next to a storage-maximizing built-in bookcase and chic Persephone stool by Coup d’Etat.

A cheery citrine striped rug by DwellStudio units the space. While the Strider Desk and Klysmos Chair both by Ironies placed at the window, creates the perfect writer’s retreat.

If you missed it, here’s the showcase Living Room, Family Kitchen, Dressing Room and Maker’s Mark Retreat.

Home Decorating Ideas :: Project Décor

February 7, 2013 · Comments { 0 }

Have you heard of Project Décor? It’s an amazing all-in-one design platform that allows you to create the room of your dreams and then buy it. The highly addicting image-centric site (which speaks to me), is a place where users can get tons of home decorating ideas.

Creating your new room is super easy (and fun!). First, browse for products you love and “tear” them. Then create a design board (a cinch to do) using the items you’ve torn. If you like, share products or boards with friends or the hubby for approval (or not). And lastly, have your credit card handy to purchase. Don’t worry, Project Décor welcomes all. They carry a variety of styles and price points, so there is something there for everyone.

I’ve created a few design boards to give you an idea of what you could do using Project Décor…

As an on-line design store and more, it lets design fans mix and remix items from the world’s leading designers and brands to get a room just so—and then get the actual pieces home. - Project Décor

These boards, some of my fave products and so much more can be found on Project Décor!

Hope to see you there!

Cristin

Design Reveal :: Traditional Boy’s Bedroom

January 14, 2013 · Comments { 0 }

It’s the small details that make interiors special and this is especially true when it comes of designing kid’s rooms. Although my client’s son’s bedroom was charming before, adding art, storage and a work area personalized and maximized the space.

The young boy loves Legos and has created some wonderful pieces that needed a home. Taking advantage of the room’s beautiful high pitched ceiling, I had a custom display shelf built the length of the the entire wall. Now his Lego creations are stored neatly (and safely!). They also add such wonderful color and texture to the room. For now the shelf stores Legos, but in the future as the child’s interests change it could be used for other collections such as books, trophies or photographs in the future.

By adding a table and chairs under the shelf, I created an area for the boy to work on this Lego projects. I selected a traditional drop-leaf table could expand for larger projects and had storage shelves underneath to tuck away works in progress. The clean-lined red chairs were added for a fun pop of color.

Originally a large scale black and white photo of a vintage airplane was going to be placed above the table. However, my client and I were drawn to this art-wall first seen on Pinterest. Purchased on Etsy, twelve different vintage airplane prints were placed in a simple, white frame and hung.
