Project Dollhouse Update- From a Tea Tin to a Master Bedroom

Sunday, September 18, 2011

So we're plugging away over at Project Dollhouse and I wanted to share the inspiration and some of the selections for the master bedroom.  Do you think you could be inspired to design a bedroom around a tea tin?  


This is my muse! It's a pretty tea tin I came across recently and I fell in love with the jade green and tomato red color scheme and the oriental design.  So, here is how it gets translated into a master bedroom.  

First, the paint
Spruce Green by Benjamin Moore.  This is a pretty accurate representation of the color in person.  It's more vibrant than most of the other color selections in the house.

This screen will serve as the headboard.  I blogged about this idea here.

I want to use this bedding from West Elm

with some accent pillows in these fabrics
Braemore's Flowering Branch - a favorite of mine!



And maybe a little teal and a little leopard.

I have some chunky lacquer side tables that I'll paint red, like this one above.

and some beefy brass lamps to flank the bed.




And that's as far as I got!  I'd love to know where you're finding your inspiration!

Loving Lonny's Layered Look

Wednesday, September 14, 2011

Have you had a chance to peruse Lonny's latest issue?  There's so much to love there, (particularly Celerie Kemble's New York City project).  What I'm most enamored with is how beautifully layered all the spaces are.  They're so more than an assemblage of pretty furnishings in coordinating colors. The rooms don't feel sterile or "staged";  instead they feel comfortable, collected and interesting.  And they all have that one element we all strive to create - soul.  Take a look and see what you think.



Look at Celerie Kemble's dining room.  Nothing really "matches", yet it totally works.  There's mix of furniture styles, colors and textures.  And did you catch the marbleized wallpaper?





These next two images having me pining away for lacquered walls.

Do you love layering or do you like a more edited space?

Milk Glass!

It's Beautiful





It's Utilitarian






It's Simple





And at times, it can even feel modern






How do you like your milk glass?
