design plan: golden gate dining room

Posted by dasfseegdse Rabu, 27 Juli 2011 0 komentar

i started working on this san francisco e-design dining room early in the year. as soon as i saw pictures of the rest of my clients home, i knew this room had to be pretty special. we wanted something that was sophisticated, and wanted the color palette to be soft. the minute i saw that shallow trey in the ceiling, i knew that i wanted to slather it with wallpaper. thank goodness my client was on board!
here are some before pictures:

here is the design plan, which includes custom silk drapes, a mirrored console, grass cloth wall covering above newly installed wainscoting, and a subtle metallic wallpaper in the inner trey of the ceiling.

i will be sharing "after" pictures tomorrow! there are still some missing items, but all of the big elements are in place and the room is looking great.

and, just for fun...a quick peek at the other spaces in my clients home that she decorated herself...arent' they great?

yay for black walls!

all photos taken by my client

interested in working together to create a more functional and beautiful space? email me at autumnclemons@yahoo.com for more information and rates. i have slowly (emphasis on the s-l-o-w been working on the tabs at the top of my blog, and should have some information on my services

s-o-o-n.)

8 modern classic chairs you should know

Posted by dasfseegdse Senin, 25 Juli 2011 0 komentar

one of my favorite classes in college was an interior design history class. the class focused on the last 100 years of interior design, and one of the elements that i enjoyed the most was the section on modern classic furniture. there are literally hundreds of chairs that are considered "modern classics", but these happen to be my favorites, and the ones that i feel blend most effectively into a more traditional setting.

designer: ludwig mies van der rohe

1929

klismos chair

t.h. robsjohn-gibbings

1936

pony chaise

designer: le corbusier

eames dkr shell chair

*most of these chairs might look familiar because they are often used in residential and commercial spaces, and are often knocked off by large retailers. i love the way these chairs can add a little personality and an eclectic vibe to any traditional interior.

vincente wolf in manhatten

just a few images from my stash. this space was designed by vincente wolf for a single dad

and his two sons. i love the clean lines and masculine feel of the space.

i don't think i have ever liked bean bag chairs so much!

i really like this interesting treatment of the drapery in back of the mirror....and the way it is installed

around the beam on the ceiling.

this entire room is so tranquil and pretty.

is it bad to covet a toilet? cuz i REALLY want this one.

house update: master bath selections

Posted by dasfseegdse Kamis, 21 Juli 2011 0 komentar

just a quick update to show you the tile selections for my clients new house. we are doing the wall area

behind the master bathroom vanities in this pretty glass/marble mosaic:

i am really excited about how the floors turned out! we bought 12" tiles and had them ripped in half

to create this brick pattern. it's subtle and sophisticated, and we saved quite a bundle by buying standard 12" tiles.

a look at the granite with the accent tile: the walls will be a super soft grey/green color.

i am looking forward to sharing pictures with you when it is all finished!

ottoman pairs

Posted by dasfseegdse 0 komentar

a pair of anything in a room can add balance and interest. i really love the way a pair of ottomans looks in a room. they are very versatile and can be used in place of a single ottoman or a coffee table, and can be moved around the room as extra seating. take a look at some of my favorites:

decorpad windsor smith

here, a pair of ottomans take the place of side tables.

decorpad mansion 21

these zebra ottomans look so pretty tucked under this table, and can be ready at any moment for an impromptu seat.

caitlin creer
i love the way caitlin used these round ottomans in the same way...the nailhead trim really adds some texture and interest.

candace olsen

these simple square ottomans can be moved around as needed for seating.

decorpad via bryn alexandra

x-base stools add a nice dose of white.

decorpad

amoroso design via decorpad

nate fowler via decorpad

i love to use stools at the foot of a bed.

urrutia desing via decorpad

william hefler vis decorpad

decor pad, Jeffry Weisman and Andrew Fisher

do you have a favorite way to use a pair of ottomans?

fresh flowers

Posted by dasfseegdse Jumat, 15 Juli 2011 0 komentar

i was at the grocery store yesterday, and saw something i just couldn't pass up:

a dozen roses for $3.50 AND an additional bouquet for $2.99. how could i possibly resist?

grocery market bouquets usually come with an assortment of flowers that are rather bold and bright.

whenever i buy these bouquets, i separate the flowers into two categories: the flowers i want to keep, and...um...the ugly flowers that don't "go" with the main bouquet i want to create. i take the "orphan" flowers and create a small arrangement.

i mixed the roses + the yellow flowers and filler from the secondary bouquet + some daisies that i had growing in my backyard to create this arrangement.

the result is a happy, cheerful flower arrangement that is doing the perfect job of adding a dose of "summer" to my office. and all for under $7. man, gotta love those grocery store bouquets!
