Color Palette :: Blue and White Interiors

blue and white contemporary wallpaper

Summer is almost officially here! (wahoo!) The warm weather has me thinking of the quintessential interior palette for the season: blue and white. This timeless color combo can be incorporated throughout the entire home: in living rooms, bedrooms and outdoor living spaces. It can also be featured in every style, from modern to traditional and everywhere in between.

In celebration of this classic color combo, I’ve rounded up some eye-catching blue and white home decor items. Check them out in an  ideabook I created for Houzz!

Happy Friday!

Weekend Reading :: Shelter Magazine Recommendations

Ah, the weekend. Perhaps you have something fun planned with family and friends, but hopefully you get some downtime to simply relax and recharge. For me, I enjoy reading shelter magazines (big surprise I’m sure!).  Here’s what I’ll be reading this weekend…

Matchbook Magazine - June Issue

Matchbook Magazine’s June issue (digital format) features a not to be missed house tour of design greats (and personal faves), John Robshaw and iomoi’s husband & wife team, Matthew Grenby and Irene Chen.

Can you tell which home is which? They are so different, but I love both styles!

Another online shelter magazine I’ll be reading is this month’s Rue. The issue is focusing on wedding and entertaining, so lots of inspiration for brides. It also features the charming apartment of recent interior design college graduate and my former intern, Michaela Noelle. It’s look into the urban LA studio she shares with a fellow design student. I love how they pulled off so much in such a tiny space. It’s a  fun, eclectic mix of styles.  So proud of Michaela!!!

And in case you missed it, you may want to check out the home tour of designer, Kelly Wearstler in last month’s Lonny Magazine. It’s so Kelly. The space is all glamour, but the images with her boys make it feel like a real home.

Little Girl Bedroom Ideas

Recently I’ve been working on designing bedrooms for a client’s young twin girls. For inspiration, I’ve been pinning lots of beautiful spaces perfect for little girls and wanted to share a few I found in photographer, Jane Beiles portfolio. These rooms all have clean, modern elements which my client is looking for.

Peninsula Volunteers Decorator Show House :: Teen Girl’s Bedroom

For this year’s Peninsula Volunteers Decorator Show House interior Designer, Teri Pollard of Designworks Morgan Hill creates an equestrian chic bedroom room retreat for a tech-savvy teenage girl. With a view of the barn and meadow below, the knotty pine covered  bedroom gives a nod to the tack rooms and reflects the equestrian lifestyle of many teens living in Woodside, California. A laptop, large flat screen TV and “I love blogging” pillow tell us this Silicon Valley young lady equally enjoys writing a blog, posting on Facebook and pinning her favorite images.

Placed above the built-in bed and trundle, the framed horse show ribbons are a clever and elegant way to display a ribbon collection and protect it for years to come.

Colorful and feminine floor length drapes and other upholstery throughout the room help soften the room’s dominate knotty wood pine raised paneling.

Next to the desk, a black and white photograph of an girl with her horse is placed on an easel, while riding equipment sits below. It’s a lovely detail as well.

If you haven’t already, I encourage you to tour this lovely Woodside estate. It’s only open until this Friday, May 24th.

And in case you missed it, here’s a tour of the Show House’s Guest Bedroom , Mother-in-Law Suite, Foyer and Card Room.

Happy Monday,

Cristin
