New Traditional Interior Design by Courtney Giles

January 27, 2014 · Comments { 4 }

This weekend I caught up on reading some of my favorite shelter magazines. There was one house tour featured in Atlanta Homes and Lifestyle that caught my eye. Atlanta-based Interior Designer, Courtney Giles transformed the historic 1911 four bedroom house for a young couple. Sticking with a neutral palette for the most part, Giles’ design blends traditional elements with fresh , modern accents – it’s what I refer to as new traditional interior design. The result is inviting, elegant and current.

The chinoiserie wallpaper in the powder room is dramatic and bold, but a fun choice for this small space.

Pantone’s Radiant Orchid (18-3224), an  intriguing shade of purple associated with joy, love and good health, has been selected as 2014’s “it” color. The captivating tone is quite a contrast from last year’s Emerald Green and 2012’s Tangerine Tango.

Lately I’ve been in a minimalist mood and drawn to simple black and white interiors. Although simple, these spaces are chic, sophisticated and timeless. Here are a few striking interior designs in this classic color combo…

Summer Entertaining :: Tablescape with Villeroy & Boch

August 6, 2013 · Comments { 4 }

There is still plenty of summer left for entertaining family and friends and so today I’m sharing a recent tablescape inspired by the warmth, color and bounty the season brings.

The beautiful plate with tangerine band by Villeroy & Boch, the creator of extraordinary dinnerware treasured worldwide, was the launching point for the vibrant color palette.

For a layered look,  the classic plate was placed atop a glazed stoneware in grey. It’s an eclectic look, but it works because the fine platinum trim of the plate is picked up in the grey stoneware and green tablecloth.

The tabletop blooms are simply seasonal garden flowers and succulents that pull together the color scheme. They were arranged in a vintage milk glass vessel well below eye level so they wouldn’t impede conversation flow. I paired the floral arrangement with a bowl of tangerines also in a vintage milk glass bowl.

Hope this little tablescape inspires your next summer dinner party!
