Eddie Ross Decorates for the Holidays
December 2, 2010 in Christmas, Interior Design Videos
Kathysue of the Good Life of Design wrote a very inspiring post about simple Christmas decor, which included a video link. The videos feature Eddie Ross sharing his design tricks for preparing a home for Christmas, using decor items from Kmart and Sears. These videos inspired me so much, so I thought I’d share them with you ;)

Mantel Decoration tips:
Eddie points out that it’s best to start with a clean slate (couldn’t agree more). He mixes real and faux greenery, a great way to still get that lovely fresh smell. I love the way he uses the wreaths for the hurricanes, what a fabulous idea! Also, I adore how he decorated the green garland with ornaments and beads. Check it out for yourself!

Christmas tree decoration tips:
Eddie places the tree in a pretty urn. This is something I have planned for my tree this year. He decorates the tree with red, green and pink (!) ornaments, mixing matte, shiny and glittery ones for a stunning result. He tops it all of with faux snow for a frosty result.

Entryway decoration tips:
Saving the best for last, here is Eddie’s fantastic tips on entryway decoration. Love the gold ornaments in the red bells, it’s the perfect touch. What a transformation!
You can see behind the scenes photos from the making of these videos on Eddie’s blog. I just realized Eddie has a $250 gift certificate giveaway to Kmart/Sears going too, so head on over ;)

Tips of the Trade: Jeff Andrews

For a long time I’ve been drooling over this bedroom, not knowing who designed it:
*
When watching some videos over at LXTV’s Open House I immediately recognized the bedroom from the video. Turns out this is the personal bedroom of Interior Designer Jeff Andrews. In the video, Jeff shares a few of his tricks, like having a desk doubling as a dining table! Amazing!
*

I adore Jeff‘s dramatic dark brown walls. Jeff mentions that a dark wall color doesn’t mean the room will look smaller, which makes a lot of sense as dark colors are considered receding. The best thing about dark or very rich wall color is the way you can play with contrast. Jeff does this by collecting and displaying white pottery.
*
You can see the bedroom from the hallway. Jeff notes in the video that he placed the great mirror between the entry and bedroom to open up the space. See how it reflects the light!
*
The living area is simple and chic. I’ve featured some of Jeff’s designs earlier is this hilarious post called “Case Study: My Hubby on Masculine Interiors“. And that’s exactly what I adore about Jeff’s designs.. They are layered, inviting and interesting at the same time as being quite masculine.
*
This is Jeff‘s desk/dining table. Love all the flowers and plants in his home. I’m all for bringing natural elements in.
*
See how gorgeous Jeff‘s white pottery looks on the rich chocolate backdrop.
