San Francisco Decorator Showcase 2013 :: Dressing Room by Shelley & Co.

Now that you’ve seen a Sneak Peek at the 2013 San Francisco Decorator Showcase, I know you want to see more! Today we will be taking a tour of a small, but  highly functional coveted space; the walk-in closet.

The Dressing Room, just off the teen girl’s bedroom was designed by Shelley Cahan of Shelley & Company Interior Design. It’s très chic! And believe me, no detail was overlooked!

“This dressing room is a nod to the glamour of a bygone era where getting ready for dinner was an extravagant routine in itself.” – Shelley Cahan

The luxurious custom closets by SOZO Studio are upholstered in a gray herringbone fabric. The soft touch is really a juxtaposition to the masculine pattern. It’s a lovely touch. The white upholstered chair designed by Ironies is layered with colorful ikat and needlepoint pillows and a burnt orange throw.

The black and white geometric wallpaper (Kravet) is paired a crisp white Roman shade with a timeless Greek key trim.

Don’t you just love this intimate, glamorous dressing room? I know I want one 🙂

Happy Friday,

Cristin

Design Reveal :: Traditional Boy’s Bedroom

It’s the small details that make interiors special and this is especially true when it comes of designing kid’s rooms. Although my client’s son’s bedroom was charming before, adding art, storage and a work area personalized and maximized the space.

The young boy loves Legos and has created some wonderful pieces that needed a home. Taking advantage of the room’s beautiful high pitched ceiling, I had a custom display shelf built the length of the the entire wall. Now his Lego creations are stored neatly (and safely!). They also add such wonderful color and texture to the room. For now the shelf stores Legos, but in the future as the child’s interests change it could be used for other collections such as books, trophies or photographs in the future.

By adding a table and chairs under the shelf, I created an area for the boy to work on this Lego projects. I  selected a traditional drop-leaf table could expand for larger projects and had storage shelves underneath to tuck away works in progress. The clean-lined red chairs were added for a fun pop of color.

Originally a large scale black and white photo of a vintage airplane was going to be placed above the table. However, my client and I were drawn to this art-wall first seen on Pinterest. Purchased on Etsy, twelve different vintage airplane prints were placed in a simple, white frame and hung.

 I love how these special, personalized design elements pulled together the room. Don’t you?

Client Reveal: Kids’ Playroom Design

Last year I had the pleasure of working with a darling family of four in Dallas, Texas. The young family sought out my virtual design services to help decorate their new 4,000 square foot home. From furniture to wallcoverings, rugs to accessories, we worked together over the course of a few months to create a design that was kid-friendly, budget conscious and yet still reflects the family’s personal style.

Recently some of the rooms I designed were photographed and today I wanted to share the kids’ playroom with you. I love this space because it’s super functional, yet stylish too. The playroom features wide orange and white stripes on the ceiling, floor-to-ceiling book display and tons of smart storage for all the toys. The art wire is perfect for showcasing the kids’ masterpieces and can updated in minutes.

Empire Patio Covers Giveaway & Discount

protecting_patio_furniture
As I stare at this outdoor pool, I realize I am already longing for summer and warm evenings outside on the patio. During the colder months, patio furniture typically goes unused and needs to be stored in order to protect it from the elements. In many cases however, storage is not an option and  larger pieces such as tables, benches and lounge chairs must be kept outside. Patio furniture covers are a great way to keep your outdoor furniture looking new and lasting for a long time.
