Behind the Design

Don’t you wish you were here? This design is perfect in accentuating the beautiful ocean scenery.   Let’s break this room apart and talk about all of the design elements that are in play here.

Tall ceilings:  Tall ceilings are great for many reasons. They create an open airy feeling. This compliments the atmosphere of the room. Tall ceilings draw your eye up, creating architectural interest without drawing away from the true focal point, in this case the ocean view.

Open windows:  Open windows allow light to fill the area and create a cheerfully, bright atmosphere.  

The Color Scheme: This subdued color scheme is taken directly from the surrounding environment. The cream walls and white bedspread maintain a clean crisp feel, while the accents of subdued blues and yellow bring in interest. These colors give a sense of relaxation.

Stay tuned next week for more BEHIND THE DESIGN!

What's Old is New

Furniture rehabilitation is popping up everywhere which is oh so fabulous and environmentally friendly. Nowadays one can take almost any piece of junk and turn it into a spectacularly trendy and functional piece. What’s cooler than converting an old dresser into a vanity for a sink, featuring unique drawer pulls and antique claw feet? The possibilities are endless!

Jewel Tones Galore!

What’s hot in the design world? Jewel tones are showing up on almost every surface – furniture, window treatments, floors, and even walls! Deep saturated tones of turquoise, amethyst, jade, and ruby red are beautiful and sophisticated accents great for the fall. Indulge yourself in a warm inviting atmosphere of the colors of this earth.
