Tom Scheerer Decorates – The Book

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

Pinterest Pin of the Week :: Serene Bedroom Design

With a soothing palette of blue, this detailed image of a bedroom was one of my favorite pins from last week. I just love the layers of pattern. Floral wallpaper, ikat throw pillows and curvy raffia headboard are all wonderful design elements, but it’s the birched wrapped lamp and shade with metallic silver detail that had me taking a second look. Don’t you love it too? I’m not sure who designed the room, so if you know please tell me so I can give proper credit.

Happy Monday,

Colorful Girl’s Bedroom :: Grace Home Design

Elitis Kandy - Brit Pop Wallpaper

I’m completely obsessed with this wallpaper. It’s Brit Pop from the Kandy Collection by Elitis. You may recall seeing it featured in this year’s San Francisco Decorator’s Showcase. I always thought it would be delightful in a little girl’s bedroom and so did interior designer, Jennifer Visosky of Grace Home Design. The colorful, dreamy wallpaper was the launching point for Jennifer’s design.

I also love this custom built storage unit. I’m not sure if the large silver panel is covered in wallpaper or was painted. In either case I love it!

Design Crush :: New York Apartment by Designer Ashley Whittaker

Over the July 4th holiday I had time to catch up on some of my favorite shelter magazines. One interior design project featured on the cover of this month’s House Beautiful, struck a cord with me. The delightful 800 square foot New York apartment was designed by Ashley Whittaker. Multi-functional furnishings, exquisite details and a mix of patterned wallcoverings are found throughout the home. Overall, the space has a feminine feel which is perfect for the owner, a single woman in her 30s. In the living room, Whittaker balances the lavender palette with with touches of gray and black. One of these elements is the fabulous black and white photograph hung above the sofa. The large-scale photograph is also a personal touch too because it’s by the the home owner’s brother, Landon Nordeman.
