patterned floors

Posted by dasfseegdse Kamis, 09 Juni 2011 0 komentar

while bopping around the internet, i sometimes come across the portfolio of a designer that

literally takes my breath away. such was the case as i perused christina murphy's website.

her attention to detail, and balance of elements in each room she designs is absolutely stunning.

among some themes that i found in ms. murphy's work are: trimmed window treatments (love),

laquered walls (love), fabulous wallpaper (love), unique and funky light fixtures (love), and the perfect balance of traditional and modern (love). but the one theme that i noticed, that i REALLY love,

is her masterful use of patterened rugs and flooring. (LOVE.)

i am also loving the black painted woodwork, and the details on the chairs.

UK Flooring Direct offer a great online range of flooring for the home!
So if you are thinking about creating a new look for your room click here to see their laminate flooring selection.

this wall to wall carpet and art really makes this traditional room edgey.

um...this is GORGEOUS. notice the striped wallpaper and the mirrored front cabinets? fabulous.

again, the woodwork is painted a dark glossy black which is so yummy. and i WANT those lamps!

the contrast welting on the sofa makes me happy, and so do those pink pillows! it's amazing how something as small as a pillow can change the entire vibe of a room....imagine of those pillows were bright yellow---the room would look totally different!

such a soothing bedroom...it appears so simple, but there are so many details to take in.

LOVE the laquered walls! doesn't this room feel like the coziest place ever?

*sigh.

i ADORE this room...the lacquered walls, the white sofas, the patterned rug, the blur ikat pillows...yep. totally adore it all.

that carpet is INSANE! it's totally over the top and gorgeous. i.want.it.

i'm madly in love with these floors! it's such a bold statement but works so well here....
and i have never met an eames management chair that i didn't like.

i love the deep, muted pink sofa and pink ikat paired with the medallion print rug and glamourous yet simple details in the room.

this room is brought to life with the blue and white geometric rug.

OH SO DEVINE...

Posted by dasfseegdse Selasa, 07 Juni 2011 0 komentar

Having already posted this image some time ago I couldn't help but show you again the beauty of this room { and just in case you missed it last time } Loving the curtains, just beautiful! and of course in the most devine colour. The gorgeous chair is also a favourite, I just bought one very similiar from Rococco Design on the gold coast they stock an eclectric range of furniture and homewares that capture the casually elegant sensibilities of the Hamptons and the South of France. It's a must, must visit store, I'll be sure to show you my chair very soon. Have a lovely day xx

project reveal: construction office lobby

Posted by dasfseegdse 0 komentar

i have posted about this lobby several times, and i am excited that it is finally complete.

my goals for this space:

1. paint a few walls to showcase the architecture and warm things up.

2. create a more sleek and updated seating area(s).

3. update the signage and add some industry related imagery.

4. add some personality!

before, there was an oversized square coffee table and four chairs that looked like they

belonged on a cruise ship (in the '80's). not only were the chairs outdated, but they were not

very comfortable, and the arrangement needed to be improved.

after:

what we did:

1. painted several walls a soft, warm grey to accentuate the architecture, and "bring down" the

scale of the ceilings and visually warm the room.

2. two seating areas make the best use of the space. believe it or not, this room was done on a

very tight budget. most of the furniture was ordered from overstock. i considered using commercial furniture for the space, but it was way too expensive...and since this lobby doesn't get heavy-duty

wear and tear like some lobby's, i selected residential furnishings. the new furnishings have a

clean, masculine feel totally appropriate for this project.

3. a new sign is re-matted and anchored with a console table.

close ups of details taken on constructions sites are sandwiched in between stained mdf and

plexiglass and mounted to heavy duty metal screens. the result is a unique, textured and interesting

piece of art that is everybodys favorite part of the lobby

the metal screens are used in a gravel pit/quarry that the company owns. they use various sizes of this metal screen to seperate the different sizes of rocks.

we used three different sizes of the metal screening as a backdrop for our photos. look closely and

you can see how the grid of the squares are different sizes, and the gauge (thickness) of the

metal also varies. the screens were extremely heavy, and were mounted to the wall (and the concrete under the wall) with micropiles. micropiles are typically used in renovation work to reduce

the effects of possible earthquakes.

you can see how to make this succulent arrangement here.

all the images in the art wall were taken by company employees and represent the different divisions of the company, and the work that they do. i love that they act as a "behind the scenes"

peek into what the company DOES. i always love to bring this type of personality into a project.

we also added this grid in the adjacent conference area to display a few of the awards the

company has won.

west elm + benjamin moore

Posted by dasfseegdse Senin, 06 Juni 2011 0 komentar

it is often difficult to commit to a paint color, and one thing that really helps

is a recommendation from a friend or seeing a room painted in person.

that's why i get excited when big companies like pottery barn and (now)

west elm team up with paint companies...

it's like getting a recommendation from a friend that has great taste,

and the best part is that they use these colors in their catalogs, so

we can catch a glimpse at what the color may look like on our walls.

yay for US!

here are some of my faves:

galveston gray

ac-27

(i am thinking of using this color in my living room....more on that later.)

baby fern

2029-20

nightfall

1596

(a great alternative to one of my favorite dark grays: kendall charcoal)

ozark shadow

ac-26

silver half dollar

2121-40

one of the things i really like about the west elm/benjamin moore

selections is that many of the colors are wonderful neutrals that play well

with many other neutrals as well as brighter colors.

***

on a side note: it's officially summer! my kids got out of school on friday

and we are so looking forward to a fun-filled summer. of course, i will still

be posting all summer, i just may miss a day or two on account of the fun-ness with

my kiddos.

also, the redesign of my blog is nearly complete. it has been a long process, but i am

thrilled with the results.

PINK OR BLUE?

Posted by dasfseegdse Minggu, 05 Juni 2011 0 komentar

With a little over seven weeks to go till my fourth little bambino comes into this world I begin to wonder whether it will be pink or blue? Having had two beautiful pink surprises first {three years apart} followed by a gorgeous blue surprise, something tells me more and more each day that it will be a blue bundle of joy, maybe it's a mother's intuition, either way they are a blessing so let the countdown begin....xx
