Pinterest Pin of the Week :: Serene Bedroom Design

July 29, 2013 · Comments { 1 }

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.

I thought this serene bedroom design would be the perfect was to start off a very busy week ahead! Don’t you think?

Also, do you have a child headed off to college soon? You won’t want to miss all the dorm room tips and essentials I rounded up for Wayfair today!

Happy Monday,

Cristin

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.

Design Crush :: New York Apartment by Designer Ashley Whittaker

July 8, 2013 · Comments { 2 }

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.

Design Crush :: Cynthia Brooks Design

While getting my daily dose of Pinterest, I came across a kitchen designed by Cynthia Brooks. I loved the simple, fresh and timeless feel of the white painted cabinets, carrara marble countertops and hicks light pendant. The dark stained wooden floors are a lovely contrast to all the white.
