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.

What's not to love about this room? The crisp white fabric emulates a fresh feeling, while the texture in the rug keeps it cozy. A simple color palette creates a nice flow all through the space adding pattern and greenery throughout.

Amore: Valentine's Color Inspiration

Love is in the air! Since we're busy crushing on Pantone's color of 2014, "Radiant Orchid," we found inspiration in a color combination to swoon over. Magical lilac and poppy pink...amore!

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!

When you hear the term "rustic," log cabins, red flannel, and grizzly bears come to mind.  In this room rustic charm takes on a new meaning with chic modern flair.  The straight-line orange island top pops against the natural wood and slate gray walls.  The uniquely beautiful basket weave chandelier draws your attention upward and to the cozy loft and the sky lights that let in just enough natural light. 

Pantone Color of The Year: Radiant Orchid

 

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard that Radiant Orchid is Pantone's color of the year for 2014.  Pantone describes Radiant Orchid as "an enchanting harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones," adding that the color "reaches across the color wheel to intrigue the eye and spark the imagination."  This expressive and exotic color blooms with confidence and warmth and couples well with grey, creamy whites, khaki, and metallics.  Looking for a bolder color combination?  Opt for emerald, orange, yellow, or blue.  As the year unfolds, the magical Radiant Orchid will be showing up everywhere: fashion, paint, beauty, appliances, and of course home décor!
