Oy Vey: New Design Books at Amazon.

A sampling of my design book library, spread out all over my house.   Last holiday season, there were so many new design books published that I almost went broke buying the titles I wanted.  So, I expected a long, long respite from Amazon and design books, I mean - how many new ones could possibly come out so soon after Christmas?   Lurking around on Amazon last week I got my answer.

A Tale of Two Houses

One of Houston's more famous interior designers, Ginger Barber, is known for her spare, neutral interiors.  She eschews patterns and fussiness and prefers her designs to be calm and soothing with a sprinkling of pine, concrete, seagrass, stucco, iron, and linen.  Practicing in Houston for over 30 years, she has cultivated a "look" that  is very casual with  plushy down chairs and sofas covered in

Here Comes the Megan

  One of the more strange, yet oddly satisfying aspects of blogging is making new friends in cyberspace.  Relationships between bloggers develop over emails and comments left on each other's blogs.  Last summer Megan, aka Beach Bungalow 8, and I started just such a friendship that neither one of us would have predicted would have lasted this long.  Megan is a very talented interior designer and

Cama en forma de autobus

La imagen muestra un diseño de excepción, una divertida litera-autobús. El diseño de las formas, los colores y adornos hace que la cama parezca un gran juguete, que puede servir además de para el descanso, para la ambientación de las diversiones de los pequeños, el ambiente que se crea es muy alegre y ayudará a que los niños crezcan pasando ratos felices en su cuarto.

Evolution of a Room

Years ago, about 16 years I suppose, I saw the above picture in a magazine - I don't remember which magazine it was, but it was probably Southern Accents.  I fell completely in love with this room.  I adored everything about it - the then, in vogue taupe and white striped linen fabric on all the furniture, the creamy stucco walls, the french furniture, the fireplace, the blue and white

Dormitorio de la realeza

Éste es el regio dormitorio de Josephine en Malmaison, con el lecho doselado en el cual agonizó y murió la emperatriz. Jamás hubiera podido imaginar, durante su infancia, que acabaría residiendo en formidables palacios, luciendo trajes de ensueño y alhajas fabulosas. Sus orígenes, en realidad, eran bastante "humildes". Al día de hoy, lo que queda de la gran plantación La Pagerie, en Martinica, se

Chandeliers & Other Light Fixtures

  When designing rooms, there are several elements that I always prefer to include:  a floor covering with some type of pattern or texture, draperies, sconces, and chandeliers.  Now, the key word here is, of course, "prefer" because many clients do not always agree with me.  Many people detest window coverings of any kind, especially draperies (you know who you are, B.R.!!!).  Other clients

Months ago I read a blog by another interior designer who talked about a disease she suffered from called "Magazine Coveritis."  She described it as a disease "that makes one obsessive about each and every corner of their home maintaining a cover shot existence. Creating an image of beauty becomes a priority over creating a beautiful home."   Melissa, the sufferer of Magazine Coveritis, writes

Blue Opaline

  A pair of blue opaline candlesticks pop out from this soothing interior. One of my favorite things to collect is a glass called blue opaline.  Authentic opaline was made in France from the late 18th century through to the end of the 19th century.  This semi-opaque, hand blown glass first came into popularity during Napoleon's reign and later peaked in Napoleon III's time during the 1850-

My Design: Library

Recently, I completed a library for a client. Previously, the wood paneling was painted a dark gray, which appeared to me to have a purplish undertone. When talk of redoing the room first started, the client was extremely reluctant to have her walls repainted. Eventually I wore her down and we had the paneling antiqued in this gorgeous cream color with the ceiling painted a pale green shade.
