Hi guys! I’m still in beautiful England, which means very limited internet access (booo). To make up for the past two weeks, let me introduce the work of Elisabeth Gordon:
My love affair with orange continues, and this bedroom does nothing to help the situation. Orange and blue has always been one of my (many) favorite color combinations, and I love how Jonathan used chocolate brown on the walls. For such a strong palette which includes orange and brown, I don’t think this bedroom looks right out of the 70′s. At least not as much as one would expect from Jonathan Adler ;)
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.
