Hampton-Designer-Showcase-2012
In it’s 12th year, the 2012 Hampton Designer Showhouse opened it’s doors last week to the public and the stunning images from presenter, Traditional Home are popping up everywhere. This year’s showhouse features over twenty talented designers who transformed every inch the shingled house located in South Hampton. The home built by Grande Design Residential, Inc. is currently on the market for $5.395 million.
 
Rich in color, elegance and style this year’s showhouse pushing boundaries and is a treat for the eyes. The fine details are amazing. Here are some of my favorite details from the images that were taken by photographer Eric Striffler:

Baby Boy :: Elephant Nursery Design

I’ve been busy sourcing for a baby boy’s nursery room and having so much fun! My client already purchased Serena & Lily’s Dylan Crib Bedding which features a darling caravan of safari animals including the majestic elephant. The serene palette of pale blue, grass green and crisp white is a great color scheme for a baby’s room. Here’s a closer look at the crib sheet:
