Top Tier Textiles

September 17, 2014

There is no question that John Robshaw is an artist. Instead of a canvas as his backdrop, he uses fine quality sheets, pillows, and loungewear to display his superb art of pattern and print. Robshaw travels the globe to produce high quality textiles that are unique to his name, with distinctive colors and methods of

An Appealing Apartment

September 16, 2014

There are some designer names that stand out, and others that are less familiar. Garrow Kedigan may not be a name that is instantly recognizable, but his work will make a name for itself. Kedigan’s cunning ability to incorporate texture (this week’s Potted Boxwood Buzzword) and traditional lines is unparalleled. If my great-grandmother was still

A Velvet Touch

September 15, 2014

Whenever I walk into a room and it feels incomplete, chances are it is one of two things. A- a lack of furniture/art, or B- a lack of texture. More often than not, it is the latter. Texture is such a crucial element in the design of every room. It is also easy to forget

A Boxwood Nest

September 12, 2014

While preparing Wednesday’s post I immediately fell in love with the hallway entrance of the Palm Beach home of Harry and Laura Slatkin. If their names don’t initially sound familiar, let me say that they are responsible for one of the most remarkable home fragrance lines ever created, NEST. I am in fact getting ready

On The Rox

When I was in Aspen in late July, I met a woman named Julie Lieberman.

ROX by CJ Designs is their brand which carries top-of-the-line acrylic boxes, risers,

Hall Pass

September 10, 2014

When I was in search of the perfect unit in my high-rise, I had one requirement. I did not want to open the door and walk straight into a kitchen. I am a firm believer in the power of an entrance and the importance of a hallway. In fact, it can easily be said that

The Great Room Of China

September 8, 2014

Some people have different versions of “ultimate” luxury, especially when it comes to designing a home. I would imagine a man would think an incredibly large five-car garage would be appealing. Kids may think that having a game room and pool slides would be the ideal wow-factor for a home. Most women dream of a

Accessible Amenities

September 5, 2014

As you all know, I am not one to share too many details of my personal life on the blog, just my personal design style. However, today I want to end the week on a personal note. There is a dear family friend who is faced with creating a bathroom that is wheelchair accessible. It

A Painted Sky

September 4, 2014

I don’t ever walk into a room and think, “Oh my, that ceiling is just to die for.” I am being honest. It is not on the forefront of my mind. Chances are I am more apt to notice the wallpaper, fabric choices, and prominent texture that exists in a space. The paint color of the ceiling

The Gorgeous Designs Of Suellen Gregory

September 3, 2014

In yesterday’s post I came across some beautiful white rooms by Suellen Gregory. The rooms were full of chic personality and classic lines. I immediately knew I had to find out more. Suellen lives in Richmond, Virginia and possess an eye for stately antiques combined with dynamic design. At times her designs seem familiar, but
