Most of you have probably seen the beautiful home of Lisa Martensen already, but as I always say; revisiting a beautiful space never hurts ;)

Lisa is one half of the extremely talented design duo Martensen Jones. According to an interview she did with D Magazine, Lisa is quite the collector. That probably helps to explain her very interesting home. It’s full of beautiful objects she has collected from around the world, high end mixed with thrifts store gems. It’s layered and interesting, and edited to perfection.

Lisa confesses to be a huge fan of anything plaster. Just look at that marvelous stone table. I also adore the color palette in this dining room, kind of an understated boldness.

Even though most of the walls in her family room are covered in windows, Lisa still manages to display artwork by placing them in little easles.

Lisa sure knows how to decorate her bookcase, here displaying her books along with her collectibles. If you missed it, you can get a few tips on how to decorate your bookcase here ;)

Lisa’s bedroom is so beautiful and glamorous. Yet another proof that gray and beige can be mixed (see first proof here).

I love detail shots like these, don’t you? So much inspiration in the details.

Lisa’s bathroom is exceptionally beautiful, with cream white walls and marble counter tops and hexagonal tiles (which I professed my love for in this earlier post).

The sconces screams luxury. They are designed by Eric Cohler, we covered them earlier here ;)

I can’t help thinking of Pottery Barn’s Bevel Mirror when I see Lisa’s beautiful vanity. Do you think it’s the same one?

As a wonderful surprise in her light and airy home, Lisa went wild with her powder room. I just love a bold powder room!!

The wallpaper she used is called Pauline and is available at Studio Printworks in many color options.

Last but not least, daughter India’s bedroom. Her walls are hand painted muralist Jerrod Foote. That is one lucky girl!

Love how Lisa incorporated these ceramic birds into the mural.

I’ve noticed the Jacqui Console and Desk popping up in everywhere lately. I particularly loved it in Meg Braff’s home office also.

Hope you enjoyed this little house tour, and be sure to check out D Magazine to read the great interview they did with Lisa, for more details!
This pretty sunroom is designed by Lee Ann Thornton of Thornton Designs. The light happy colors makes me yearn for spring. BTW I love the skirted table there ;)
Back to business! I promised you something snazy didn’t I? Well, here’s some colorful eye candy designed by the one and only Tobi Fairley and featured in Traditional Home:
*
Tobi designed this bedroom for an energy-efficient charity showhouse using recycled furnishings, organic fabrics, and low-VOC paints. Have you noticed how Tobi frequently use large scale frames in her designs? Usually with colorful seashell prints and hung in an orderly fashion. It’s like her m-o and I love it!
*
The color palette of turquoise and orange is divine! Nothing beats two “happy colors” in one room!
*
This is the sunroom. I love how Tobi stuck to the same basic color palette of the bedroom, adding some deeper shades.
*
And what do we have directly opposite of the seating area? A soft drink buffet of cause! Wouldn’t you just love to snuggle up in that daybed with a good book and a refreshing beverage? I know I would!
*
As usual, head over to Traditional Home’s blog to see the rest of these rooms and the complete source list! And while you’re at it, check out Tobi’s wonderful blog for more exclusive pictures, including before and afters!

I’m linking this post up to Bright Bold and Beautiful!
Here’s some sunroom inspiration, all images via House to Home:
*
The entire room is white and heavily accented with various shades of green. What a great way to bring the outdoors in!
*
I did say all shades of green!
*
Got to love it when functional meets beautiful.
*
This sunroom kind of remind me of the one in an earlier post called “Prettiest Sunroom“, except that one had a lot of turquoise in it too.
This gorgeous sunroom is the work of Kelley Proxmire of Kelley Interior Design, based in Bethesta, MD:
*
This room is so light and pretty. The transparent glass objects throughout this room certainly adds to the light feel.
*
I love the bright turquoise lining on the curtains. This room wouldn’t be the same without.
*
The color palette is very simple with white walls, warm natural fiber carpeting and a light blue ceiling. Last but not least lots of pops of fresh turquoise and green.
*
Even the sofa skirt has beautiful lining!
*
The carpet and the gold frames really adds a lot of warmth.
*
This chair is fantastic, right?
*
Are those real fruits?
*
John Willey is behind today’s interior designs, which are all about the color combination Yellow and Blue!
*
This is so pretty and styled, it almost looks like a dollhouse.
*
A few large but visually very interesting decor items really makes all the difference on this patio. The high gloss paint on the “ceiling” (under the veranda) gives of some “clean” vibes.
*
This yellow living room is accented with sky blue and brown. Take a look at the pretty pattern on the sofa to the left. It is repeated in the accent pillow on the blue sofa, tieing the room togheter even more. I love the blue and brown ottoman- a refreshing take on the very popular zebra stripe.
*
A coastal vignette and a beautiful kitchen decorated with blue and yellow. Very unusual ceiling lamp.
*
Yellow and blue coastal style bedroom. I love the big X in the ceiling, it would only work for a square room like this one.
