Botanical Chic by Lauren Liess

July 13, 2011 in Bedroom, Beige, Exotic, Home office, Hottest Designers, Natural

On my daily surf for new design inspirations, I came across the portfolio of the beautiful and talented Lauren Liess. The second I saw the photo above, I remembered seeing it (and drooling a little on my keyboard) on the 2011 DC Design House. A click away from her professional website, I discovered her blog Pure Style Home, and I’m already hooked!

*

I’m seriously in love with everything in this room. The painting? Swoon! And that alligator desk? Yes please! (I suddenly feel the need to cover some sort of furniture with faux alligator fabric =)

*

I adore Lauren’s use of green and all the botanical elements in this room. How do you feel, do you like to bring nature into your home, or do you prefer to see it from your window?

*

You would never believe what this room looked like before Lauren used her magic on it. You HAVE  TO CLICK HERE to see it!

*

Gorgeous compilation of natural patterns.

*

This fern Pottery Barn bedding would fit right in if it was a bedroom, no?

*

The funtastic  fabrics Lauren used in this room are actually from her upcoming fabric line,  which will be available in her web shop in April (from what I could tell). And would you believe what she named the curtain fabric? “Happikat”, and I love it! PS: Anyone know where I can get that amazing lantern?

Don’t you just love stumbling across fabulous furniture boutiques chock full of eye candy and inspiration? This was definitely the case when I came across SummerHouse Style (located in MS).

*

This fabulous boutique is owned by Interior Designer Lisa Palmer.

*

I’m such a huge fan of white accents on a rich brown wackground (typo, but it stays haha!!). Gorgeous!

*

Love this rich brown leather sofa, the nailhead trim makes it just perfect. Looks so good paired with this zebra ottoman coffee table, don’t you think?

*

Some white and brown bedroom inspiration. LOVE the chairs!

*

Another absolutely perfect sofa, paired with a beautiful mirrored coffee table.

Moody Designs by David Scott

I’m loving the atmosphere (amongst a lot of other things) in this moody living room. It’s designed by David Scott and photographed by Marili Forastieri. Whenever I see gray paired with (burnt) orange I can’t help but think bachelor pad, anyone with me on this?

*

Take a look at the sofa, it’s trimmed with nailheads *swoon*. I wonder If the whole room is covered in silver wallpaper or if it is just this little nook? What do you think? It’s hard to tell.

*

Looks like a Carini Lang area rug to me! After all the zebra frenzy, it’s pretty nice to see an alternate animal pattern for a change. Refreshing.

*

I LOVE the glass balls. On another note; great idea to keep your parsley in the living room, especially for those with bad plant mojo haha!

*

Fresh and fun koi fish wallpaper. The powder room is the perfect space to go all out with your wildest wallpaper fantasies, right?
