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

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!

A Curated Look :: Houston Home

My favorite interior last week featured in Matchbook Magazine’s latest issue, was the beautiful home of Bailey and Pete McCarthy. After briefly living in Chicago and Austin, the husband and wife interior design team behind Biscuit Home and the Peppermint Bliss blog settled in Houston. For the home’s design, the couple incorporated  items they’ve been collecting as they moved from city to city. Their curated look is inviting, multi-layered and has a wonderful mix of period styles.

I will say I have never considered my style fearless. My style has evolved over the years and I think it has gotten better and more refined, but it really is just my style. I am flattered that people like it but I am always a little amused when the work is called “fearless”- like maybe I should be afraid of putting it out there because it is testing the boundaries of good taste? Whoopsies. – Bailey McCarthy

Rustic, Elegant Row House in Brooklyn

Recently Vogue featured the Brooklyn home of  landscape designer and Vogue Contributing Editor, Miranda Brooks and her architect husband, Bastien Halard. Lead by Harlard, the rundown row house was completely renovated from head to toe in just six months. The interior design is American pastoral with rustic, yet elegant touches. And although new, the rooms are inviting and have a lived in feel I love. Speaking of love, it was the custom de Gournay wallcovering in the master bedroom and hand-painted/printed wallpapers in the girls’ rooms that had me looking twice at this home. (swoon)
