I just love how Melanie Turner works high end elements like curvy tables, tailored chairs and gold finishes into a more casual frame. It’s like a luxurious take on shabby chic? Love it!

MORGAN HARRISON HOME / NEW ENGLAND HOME
I happened to stumble upon this fantastic website called New England Home, and my jaw just dropped when I saw this living room. Designed by Morgan Harrison, this room exudes luxury and class. How about that mirrored feature wall? And the gold accents? Heavenly!

Last night I came across this gorgeous living room on Veranda.com, and (as per usual) fell madly in love. As I got to reading the interview accompanying the beautiful images, I quickly realized it belonged to the one and only Jennifer Lopez. How interesting!
*
Jennifer’s home is designed by Michelle Workman, and now I have yet another designer crush. Isn’t this living room amazing? Michelle based the entire home on a color palette of grays subtly infused with color.
*
I would definitely say this is a glamorous home. So what makes it so glamorous? I believe it starts with the subtle color scheme, brought to life through luxurious velvet and silk fabrics and contrasted with curvy black details and shiny metals. Not to mention the classic furniture with modern twists, and the huge Art Deco influence.
*
A simple but beautiful vignette in the background. Fresh cut pink flowers are to be found throughout the entire house.
*
This little brass top hat-and-cane table actually turned out to be a champagne cooler. How fun is that?
*
Now onto Jennifer’s drop dead gorgeous dining room. Again we see the strong influence of Art Deco in the glass console table and the beautiful powder pink wallpaper.
*
Tufted velvet dining chairs with nailhead trim? Yes please!
*
Art Deco inspired Tulip Damask wallpaper by Cole & Son. The gold detail really makes this wallpaper come to life, don’t you think?
*
Blue is the choice color for the kitchen as well. I’d love to get a closer look at the tiles, they look so shiny and pretty. I’m guessing they are shell tiles?
*
This dining area is just too gorgeous for words. Love everything about it. So much lovely detail, and so perfectly combined.
*
Another beautiful seating area. The glam factor is upped with shiny chrome details paired with glass surfaces and sleek white furniture.
*
Now this is what I would call a gorgeous bedroom. Light, pretty and feminine. I’d love to use this BM Home Sweet Home paint color somewhere.
*
See how perfectly the wall color is picked from the stonework on the fireplace? Not that is how it’s done right!
*
This is the last picture, I swear! Hope you enjoyed another celebrity home tour, although it was the design itself which attracted me to these images, not the owner ;)

A clean color palette of brown and white is a sure hit if you are aiming for a elegant and sophisticated look in your home. The point is proven in this beautiful living room designed by Kelly Proxmire.
*
With such a simple color palette, the details are all the more important. White molding creates depth not only on the ceiling, but also on furniture and doors. Notice how Kelly combines damask fabrics with chevron and dots in the next photo:

The deep rich paint color is such a wonderful backdrop for curvy white furniture like this, don’t you think? I really see the gorgeous details in the ceiling as the icing on the cake. Such a delightful detail.
