I just love Style at Home‘s High/Low series. This boudoir cost $10,000, click here to see it done for only $4,000. It’s nearly identical!

Paint color is Benjamin Moore Hot Pink.

I’m so excited about these images! A couple weeks ago I spent about an hour trying to find the designer of this fantastic room, but to no fruition. Now look what I stumbled across on the always fabulous Decorati Access?! This room is designed by (drumroll please) Philip Gorrivan and photographed by Michael Graydon.
*
A closer look =)
*
The amazing thing with this living room is the fact that the architecture and furniture is very traditional, while all the modernness is due to color and pattern. Wouldn’t you say?
*
Another Closeup…

Semi circle home bar clad in white alligator skin and embellished with nailhead trim? I’ll have a whisky please!

Head over to Decorati Access to read a great interview with Philip Gorrivan!
[Whoops! Had comments turnes off, my bad. Should be open now =)]

I LOOOVE the living room of Melissa Warner, one part of the design trio Massucco Warner Miller. Her home was featured on House Beautiful a while ago, and I couldn’t help featuring it here in case any of you haven’t seen it yet (and If you have seen it, it doesn’t hurt seeing it again, right?)
*
It’s all about the details, and Melissa’s home is a great example of that. The blue sofa is a vintage find. Aren’t the circle pillows awesome? Adds such beautiful texture.
*
Love how she adds color in fun ways like here; through candy and peaches. Do you ever try to match what you serve with your decor? (I have to admit I sometimes do)
*
I love the shell lamp on her desk (which is skirted and has a glass top!!). Jonathan Adler has a similar lamp in his collection.
*
Melissa shares some great advice on colors in the HB interview, it’s definitely worth a read.
*
Wall color is BM Soft Chamois. Keeping the walls pale, add blues, orange and pink. Balance the bright colors with white. Be on the lookout for fun showstopping pieces and exciting patterns.
*
Beat this: that coffee table is only $504.00 at the CSN Stores! You can see the rest of Melissa’s home (her bedroom is really awesome!) and read the accompanying interview on House Beautiful.

Frank Roop has been in my radar for years now, I just adore his confident sense of style and use of bright colors.
*
Frank is huge on using horizontal stripes on the bottom of the curtains in his designs. I think this will be the solution to my “honey I shrunk my curtains” problem.. Now what color?
*
I love a dramatic piece of art on the wall behind the sofa. For a free standing sofa or one that is placed in front of a window like this, a console table is a great alternative, don’t you think? Love his coastal vignette and the crystal table lamps!
*
We can’t leave out the coffee table details, can we?
*
Nice coffee table decor with Frank’s signature pops of color and lovely corals.
