Design Reveal :: Traditional Boys Bedroom

Do you remember this client’s traditional boy’s bedroom with the vintage airplane art? Today I’m excited to share images of his brother’s bedroom. It too is traditional in style and super cute.

The bedding, all from Serena & Lily set the blue, orange and green color palette for the room.  Benjamin Moore’s Paradise View was selected for the walls. It’s bright, beachy and energetic.

A trio of cityscape graphics printed on natural wood by Petit Collage were hung above the bed. Skylines of the families’ favorite cities – Paris, New York and San Francisco were selected. I love how the artwork adds a personal touch, while pulling the color scheme together too!

A simple, yet functional book rack was hung beside the bed. A great way to organize books and magazines if you have a tight space like this!

As parents know, toys can take over a child’s bedroom. Here, a shelving unit keeps the toys stored neatly in bins and orange baskets. A large cork board hangs above and is great for displaying kid’s art, awards and party invitations.

A pair of star hook for hats, backpacks and coats flank the toy storage unit. Hooks are a great way to keep these items off the floor!

I hoped you enjoyed this peek into my client’s home!

Have a great day!

Interior Designer, Angie Hranowsky’s Home + Weekend Reads

I’ve long been a fan of Charleston, South Carolina-based  interior designer, Angie Hranowky. The former graphic designer mixes pattern and color effortlessly. I especially like Angie’s style because it feels so personal, inviting and organic. When I heard that her new pad (a charming historic 1850’s home) was being featured in the latest Lonny Magazine, I just knew I’d love it. And indeed I did. Angie’s renting the home which has it’s challenges for anyone (including designers), yet she pulls it off amazingly. As you will see the window treatment, wall paint and lighting fixtures she selected make a huge impact in the space. In the article, Angie gives great tips on making a rental your own.

It’s Friday… one of my favorite days of the week. Over the weekend I’ll be diving into more shelter magazines and blogs. I thought I’d share a few links to blog articles I enjoyed this past week.

Design Crush :: Black & Spiro Interior Design

Sometimes I run across a portfolio of an interior designer that stops me in my tracks. The work of Australian designer, Anna Spiro of Black & Spiro Interior Design made me do just that. Each of her residential projects are filled with such wonderful layers, color and life. I’m sharing some of my favorite images from her newly designed website, but you will have to drop by to see all of her gorgeous portfolio. You will love!

Lonny Mag’s Latest and Black + White Decor

Lonny Mag’s March issue is here, gorgeous as ever and centered around designing for  kids and growing families. Love! It takes us on a tour of two family homes. The first is a retreat in Connecticut designed by Lisa Sherry. Then we tour the adorable Swedish home of Jennifer Jansch (creator of a reusable gift bag company). Although not kid-friendly, I also loved the tour of Editor-in-Chief’s Michelle Adam‘s new pad in Manhattan’s Upper West Side. It’s a girl’s dream!

I know black and white is trending both on the fashion runways and in interiors. So I’ve pulled my favorites from Lonny’s latest to celebrate the classic color combo.

I was surprised and bummed to learn Michelle is leaving Lonny. She has done such an amazing job creating the inspiring online magazine. Lonny has truly been a trail blazer and has changed the landscape of they way we view all shelter magazines. She will be missed! Can’t wait to find out what she has planned!
