Design Crush :: Cynthia Brooks Design

June 24, 2013 · Comments { 4 }

While getting my daily dose of Pinterest, I came across a kitchen designed by Cynthia Brooks. I loved the simple, fresh and timeless feel of the white painted cabinets, carrara marble countertops and hicks light pendant. The dark stained wooden floors are a lovely contrast to all the white.

The image lead me to Cynthia’s portfolio, which is also full of beautiful interiors she has designed. Here are a few of my faves…

The brass and yellow neon lanterns by Urban Electric in the all-white kitchen (above) are the best. Love, love, love.

And don’t forget, there’s still time to enter to win a copy of Country Living’s book, The Little Book of Big Decorating Ideas!

Teen Hangout Room–San Francisco Showcase

May 7, 2012 · Comments { 12 }

The Teen Only Hang Out Room by Emily Mughannam of Em Design Interiors at this year’s San Francisco Showcase was one of my favorites. Perhaps it’s because I dreamed of having a room like this when I was a teen.

The neutral over-sized sofa by Sofa U Love fits snug in one corner and is topped with playful throw pillows picking up on the room’s neon yellow, burnt orange and metallic accents. Emily custom made the trio of acrylic shelves and I loved that she had the edges wrapped in glowing neon!

Teens change their minds {a lot}, so removable wallpaper on the ceiling was a great call. I love the playful “Hearts Apart” pattern by Timothy Sue too!

And what teen wouldn’t go gaga over the fabulous “you only live once” neon sign?

Extending one of the built-in shelves is a brilliant way to create a space-saving desk. The back of the shelf is painted orange while it is playfully trimmed out in neon yellow.
