San Francisco Decorator Showcase 2013 :: The Maker’s Mark Retreat

May 2, 2013 · Comments { 2 }

Kelly Hohla, Design Principal at Jeffers Design Group, designed “The Maker’s Mark Retreat” for this year’s San Francisco Decorator Showcase. An homage to the urban artisan, the light filled corner room retreat is on the 2nd floor. It’s an elegant space that could be used as a home office during the day and then a cozy place to unwind in the evening by the fireplace with a cocktail.

Hohla selects a soothing dusky grey-blue palette which is articulated by the stunning custom hair-on-hide wallcovering by Kyle Bunting. It provides such wonderful texture, pattern and movement in the space.

An earthy  hand-crafted walnut “Crosswinds” credenza by New York artist Michael Coffey, is placed just behind the desk and topped with a pair of gorgeous brass lamps by Milan-based Roberto Giulio Rida. A large-scale abstract oil painting (artist unknown to me) hangs just above the credenza.

The beautiful chandelier with exposed bulbs by Apparatus is one of my favorite pieces in the space. It caught my eye instantly.

Interior Design Trend :: Ferns

April 17, 2013 · Comments { 2 }

1940's banana leaf wallpaper in Beverly Hills Hotel

Leafy botanical patterns are clearly trending right now. The banana leaf motif made famous by Harry Hinson’s iconic 1940’s Martinique wallpaper that’s all over the Beverly Hills Hotel is making a huge comeback. From home to fashion, the classic pattern is showing up everywhere. Even on iPhone covers (the one below is by Milly).

Although not as popular as the banana leaf, another trendy little green plant is the fern. This shade loving plane is much more refined in nature than it’s broad leaf friend, yet is also a fresh take on the color of the year. Over the past year I’ve noticed more and more fern patterns in interiors, like this bedroom designed by Tom Sheerer.

I’ve pulled together a few beautiful home decor items featuring ferns:

Of course there is nothing like adding a live fern or two to your home. They help naturally purify the air and Lauren from Pure Style Home swears they are the easiest plant to keep (this is her former living room above). If you are curious as to which variety of fern may be best indoors, BHG has a great article discussing their favorites.

On a final note, my thoughts and prayers are with the victims and families effected by the horrific terrorist attack in Boston on Monday. I feel as if our nation’s wound from 9/11 has been torn open. May we all strive for peace within and with one another.

Happy Chic by Jonathan Alder JCPenney

April 10, 2013 · Comments { 2 }

jonathan adler at jcpenney

Have you checked out Jonathan Adler’s new “Happy Chic” collection at J.C. Penney? The two mega brands have partnered to created a shop-within-a-store.  Adler’s exclusive “Happy Chic” shops  feature colorful, fresh and of course chic decor items that sell for as much as half of Adler’s higher-end line. For example, “Happy Chic” sofas at JCP are $1,850, compared with $4,000 for the signature collection. I’m assuming the Adler’s signature collection is of higher quality, but in some instances price wins out.

Check out some of my faves…
