Rustic, Elegant Row House in Brooklyn

January 16, 2013 · Comments { 0 }

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)

Isn’t this a charming garden seat? Designed by Brooks of course!

To see more, visit Vogue.

Mary McDonald Fabrics for Schumacher

January 10, 2013 · Comments { 0 }

Season two of the Million Dollar Decorators show wrapped up this week and had me wanting more! However, I was thrilled to see that one of the shows stars, interior designer Mary McDonald, launched her fabric collection with Schumacher today. On the heels of Marytn Lawrence Bullard‘s collection (which I love), Mary’s line is sure to be a huge success. The high-style collection features exquisite velvets, printed linens and some fabulous embroidered tapes and appliques.

Blending her love of Chinoiserie, color and bold patterns Mary reinterprets traditional textile designs in a clean and graphic style. Enhanced through dramatic scale this collection brings a strong sense of glamour and sophistication to any space. – Schumacher

Don’t you just love it all?!

Happy decorating,

Cristin

2013 Design Trend :: Graphic Patterns

January 4, 2013 · Comments { 0 }

In the past few years, graphic patterns have been appearing more and more on the fashion runways and in home decor. Like it or not, it’s a design trend that’s not going away. Watch out for bold geometric patterns to gain even more momentum in 2013. You’ll find graphic patterns covering textiles, adorning furniture and shaping lighting. I’ll be cheering for my fave, the honeycomb pattern!

Kelley Moore’s San Francisco Flat

December 19, 2012 · Comments { 3 }

I’ve mentioned before that through blogging I have met the most amazing people. One such person is Kelley Moore. Kelly’s a designer, party planner and lifestyle guru. Her amazing career has had her on the go. You may have seen her on Rachel Ray, The Nate Berkus Show or even her own show, Moore to Life in Seattle! Recently she moved to San Francisco to be the Home and Lifestyle Anchor at Joyus. Do you remember when I participated in Joyus’ designer challenge? Through the experience Kelley and I became friends. I’m telling you, she is an amazing person. Love her!

I was thrilled to see Kelley’s new San Francisco flat that she designed so beautifully featured in Rue Magazine’s October issue. It’s a home that inviting and has a wonderfully curated feel. Kelley also brilliantly blends pattern, textures and bold color (even red). Here’s a peek at the stunning interior:
