Tom Scheerer Decorates – The Book

It’s creating a huge buzz and there’s good reason for it. Tom Scheerer Decorates, due out in September is the long-waited and first book of interior designer, Tom Scheerer’s work. His classic and as he puts it, “no nonsene” approach to design, is reminiscent of design icons such as Albert Hadley, David Hicks and Billy Baldwin. From Manhattan apartments to Bahamian seaside cottages, the book showcases Scheerer’s exquisite, confident and always perfectly balanced creations. They all contain a seamless blend of classical design elements with crisp, modern touches. All are inviting, livable and feel natural. Scheerer makes decorating look effortless, which we all know is far from the truth.  Many of the images featured in the book have already caused a pinning frenzy and you’ll see why.

Tom Scheerer Decorates - the book

His sophistication is extreme, but it is accessible, relaxed, and a touch “under-baked,” as Scheerer says, because he thinks the smartest rooms are always a little underdecorated.” –  Mimi Read, author of Tom Scheerer Decorates

Design Trend :: Brass in Home Decor

For some time now, silver or nickel decor, hardware and accents have dominated interior design. In the past few years however, golden brass tones have been making a comeback in home decor. And although many of my clients aren’t willing to make the leap just yet, brass is back in a big way. Whether shiny or honed, the rich warm metallic is being featured in every inch of the home.

Design Crush :: New York Apartment by Designer Ashley Whittaker

Over the July 4th holiday I had time to catch up on some of my favorite shelter magazines. One interior design project featured on the cover of this month’s House Beautiful, struck a cord with me. The delightful 800 square foot New York apartment was designed by Ashley Whittaker. Multi-functional furnishings, exquisite details and a mix of patterned wallcoverings are found throughout the home. Overall, the space has a feminine feel which is perfect for the owner, a single woman in her 30s. In the living room, Whittaker balances the lavender palette with with touches of gray and black. One of these elements is the fabulous black and white photograph hung above the sofa. The large-scale photograph is also a personal touch too because it’s by the the home owner’s brother, Landon Nordeman.

Designer Kitchen With Painted Floors

I came across this beautiful kitchen by San Francisco-based interior designer, Palmer Weiss while getting my daily dose of inspiration on Pinterest. The all white kitchen has a mix of traditional and contemporary elements including marble countertops, hicks pendant lights and stainless steel appliances. It was the fabulous and bold chartreuse painted flooring however,  that had me taking another look.
