Inviting, crisp and new-traditional is how I would describe Kerry Hanson’s work. Based out of New Canaan, Connecticut the interior design has a wonderful way with color, mixing patterns (some amazing fabrics used throughout!) and blending period styles (love her chinoiserie touches here and there). I especially enjoy the beautiful spaces she designed for little girls. All have timeless looks that can transition into the teenage years. All incorporate gorgeous textiles. And all are sweet, yet still sophisticated. Here are a few of my favorites from Kerry’s portfolio to inspire and give you lots of girl bedroom ideas…

Hello September! You are one of my favorite months; The kids are back in school, the weather is perfect and college football is in full swing (that last one is for my hubby!).
In addition, Lonny’s September issue is live and is loaded with inspiration. I’ve pulled five images that feature some current (and some longstanding) decor obsessions ….
(marble bath)
(cane furniture)
(designer wallpapers)
(lucite chair)
(chinoiserie cabinet)
Happy new week!

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.
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
Amazing, right? I know you’d adore the entire book too. It’s an absolute must have for all decorating enthusiasts.
