With the world watching and amazingly just one day after the birth, Prince William and Duchess Kate emerged yesterday from the hospital to introduce their son, the tiny Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge (name announced today!). From the beginning, the couple has pushed royal traditions and now want to raise their son on their terms. So, don’t you think it’s fitting that the baby, who’s third in line to the throne should have a nursery that communicates this modern monarchy? I do, so I pulled some nursery items with modern flair, perfect for the new prince.

For some time now, silver or nickel decor, hardware and accents have dominated interior design. In the past few years however, golden brass tones have been making a comeback in home decor. And although many of my clients aren’t willing to make the leap just yet, brass is back in a big way. Whether shiny or honed, the rich warm metallic is being featured in every inch of the home.

As head into the second half of the year, geometric patterns continue to be hot. And of course, I personally love the look. So, I flipped when I spotted the beautiful porcelain hardware line created by ceramics artist, Julie Moon exclusively for Anthropologie. Reminiscent of gems and candy sticks, Moon’s Lulu Knobs and Wall Hooks are fresh, fun and playful.

Don’t you love?!

Happy Friday!

Colorful Girl’s Bedroom :: Grace Home Design

July 17, 2013 · Comments { 2 }

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.
