Picture Perfect - Room of the week - Happy Halloween

Could I resist a black and orange room this week?  {Salem, MA. is insane right now}. I usually flee the area at this time of year but I have three Halloween parties this weekend! Have a Happy and Safe weekend!

Picture Perfect - Room{s} of the week

I just began a new project for an existing client. They live in a large old house. I'm excited to move the job downstairs to the living room and foyer.  The upstairs bedrooms are almost {key word being almost}  finished. Their style is what I refer to as "updated traditional".  I am going to finish up their concept board this week but I've already shopped the design center for most of the fabrics. I've been drawn to traditional interiors with a modern edge lately. I think they feel lived in, as though they have evolved over time but still fresh. The two rooms above by Ashley Whittaker fall perfectly into this style. I love the mix of pattern, texture, color and objects in these adjoining rooms.  They each have an identity of their own but work so well together. Creating a cohesive whole,  is the key to "great" design!

Have a good day!! I have something exciting to share with you tomorrow, so do check back. I think you'll like it! - Julie

Picture Perfect - Room of the Week

I'm drawn to this room right now for so many reasons. The warm colors, the mix of materials, the array of perfectly placed furnishings, the billy baldwin slipper chair {a personal favorite}. It's layered, warm and beautiful! I love it. I would add this wonderful painting by Vanessa Briggs to the opposite side of the room. The open space above the sofa is needed!
