Room of the Week

Designer, Summer Thorton, was not afraid to combine classic and contemporary, floral and stripes, to create an elegantly beautiful, daring mashup in this Chicago bathroom.  Transferring you back to a more glamorous era, the floral and silvery background on the Arabella wallpaper in Platinum by Cowtan & Tout is fit for a Queen. (I believe Marie Antoinette would have approved).

Sit back and relax in the The Vintage Imperial Clawfoot Soaking Tub by Restoration Hardware...the brass feet attract attention with the contrast and make the tub feel different.  The vanities are made out of a pair of vintage Hollywood Regency dressers, loving the gold-leaf detailing, ornate brass hardware, and grey marble top.  Last but not least, the sensational 1960's Italian chandelier made from rams' horns cast in brass-whimsical and pleasant.

Room of the Week

Play on prints, textures and the wooden floor gives Philip and Olivia's smaller living room in their Sussex, UK home a unique and eclectic feel.  The slate, charcoal and cream 3D boxed wall paper is contemporary while the beautiful vintage chandelier is different yet usual.  Formerly a seaside pub, this couple transformed it in to a fun house at home, building light displays, collecting items from secondhand shops, and filling their humble abode with countless surprises.  Quirky but we love it!
