SUNSHINE, WHIMSY & A BIT OF MONKEYS FOR YOUR MORNING

November 01, 2020 in DESIGN PROJECT, INSPIRATION

More and more I am finding that people are really craving uniqueness and pops of fun in their home, thankfully, the days of not stepping outside of the box and fearing re-sell value are long gone… people are truly wanting to live genuinely and express their personalities in their homes and I feel that is such a beautiful thing!

This master bedroom is the perfect example of that, from the show stopping, smile inducing, whimsical wallpaper adorning monkeys and lemons, to the perfectly cheerful coral drapery trimmed in happy little pom-poms, to the sophisticated night stands, this master bedroom has it all.

One of the things that I love about this space is the art collection. We used a great collection of memories, like concert posters, maps and other things to display on the wall. The perfect amount of personality plus pops of colors.

This master bedroom is a great example of personality, charm and sophistication created for one room - and a small room at that!

October 19, 2020 in DESIGN PROJECT, INSPIRATION

A closer look into designing a dining room that once was just a style-less room to creating a dining room filled with style to the max!

This dining room is truly a visual treat. Honestly, it was quite the designer treat! This entire home is filled with so many different colors, patterns, textures and exciting elements that I could truly just go on and on about it for hours.

KITCHENS WITH STYLE

October 02, 2020 in DESIGN PROJECT, INSPIRATION

More often than not, clients are stepping outside of the box from the simple all white kitchen, and we couldn’t be more thrilled!

Here are seven gorgeous kitchens of various styles that we love. Each project showcases different personalities, charm and elements special to each homeowner. Dive in and get inspired for your personal kitchen with style.

MODERN GLAM KITCHEN

Keeping with a soft overall palette, the perimeter of this kitchen features a custom “city loft” color finish, with light glazing. The island is a deep charcoal. We pumped it up with a very modern geometric backsplash combined with three different types of marble.

REFRESHING TRADITIONAL

These days traditional doesn’t mean stuffy, don’t be afraid to take your traditional style up a notch! Our client was fearless when it came to color - so we had fun and didn’t a custom “Lemon Grass” finish, keeping the over all feeling open and airy with a soft pale green hue giving the space personality. A classic marble penny round mosaic has a light shimmering prettiness to it. Cheerful window treatments, and sweet little birds perch upon the island on the brass pendants.

SILVERY GRAY CHIC

With interior design I absolutely love mixing metals and finishes. With this kitchen, the overall cabinet color has a beautiful silvery gray finish, it almost has a metal look to it. Combined with the brass fixtures and plumbing I love it! We opted to keep the hood and the backsplash simple and lacking color, full of dimension and hand made imperfection.

STYLISH TRANSITIONAL

Here again is an example of an all over light perimeter, a nice soft white combined with a deeper tone island. A lot of people find they get break out of their comfort zone a bit with the island, which we are fans of! This client allowed us to put a bit more bold of a backsplash featuring a beautiful hand painted design, while all the other elements nicely play together in the space. We absolutely love how the kitchen flows into the oversized kitchen nook where we incorporated a custom wainscoting design to really bring dimension in the room!

BOHEMIAN MODERN

Light gray cabinetry paired with a super soft blue subway tile that has the most delicate basketweave pattern, that is so ever subtle. It plays gracefully with the classic stripe wallpaper in the adjoining eat in kitchen.

SOUTHERN GLAM

If you are feeling like you want a bit of spark and color, however, do not want a full color commitment cabinetry, add it with your backsplash! In this kitchen we opted to do a light perimeter, deep navy island and add pops of rusty and blue to the backsplash. Then over at the wine bar, we incorporated a pretty antique mirror tile!

MODERN FARMHOUSE

Lisa Gilmore Design | Custom Kitchen: Total Design Source

Mixed wood tones, hand painted backsplash tile, wallpaper at the built in desk area, oversized pendants, double islands, my-oh-my! This home has the popular modern farmhouse style, without leading with too many trends or things that will date it a few years from now.

Can you tell with this round up, why we absolutely love our job?! We get to work with so many amazing people with all different personalities and style, no day is ever the same.

So maybe you find you are ready to bring in more color, mixed wood tones or bold backsplashes - follow your heart and bring happiness into your home!

WALLPAPER DREAMS

WALLPAPERED BEDROOMS THAT GIVE YOU THE SWEETEST DREAMS

In our opinion, bedrooms are such an important place and they should be planned well with your design. Often bedrooms are forgotten or maybe not seen as that important because it’s kind of a “hidden room”. However, we feel the exact opposite! Bedrooms are the last thing you see when you fall asleep and the first thing you see when you wake up. It sets the tone for your day and your mood, it’s also a great place to show your personality and have some fun!

A well designed bedroom can rejuvenate you and give you the perfect comfort you need and we feel it shouldn’t sacrifice style. Wallpaper is one way we really like to punch it up in the bedroom.

Here are a few bedrooms we have designed over the years that showcase all the wallpaper feels.

CHIC HIGH RISE MASTER BEDROOM

Often high rise living comes with amazing views, but sometimes smaller spaces. For this master, we opted to keep it rather monochromatic with the design, but mixing patterns and textures. This wallpaper has a bit of an urban flair that paired so nicely with more feminine elements. We just love how the horizontal lines lead your eye out beyond the floor to ceiling windows.

BOHEMIAN MODERN MASTER BEDROOM

Inviting warm tones, layered rugs, modern furniture - the perfect compliment for this space is a wallpaper with an artistic hand. The navy and white hand painted details create the perfect amount of movement and add more depth to the space.

CALMING MASTER BEDROOM

This wall mural has such a tranquil and moody vibe to it. The space leans to be more transitional and calming, however the wallpaper takes it up a notch with the stormy cloud feelings.

WHIMSICAL & CHEERFUL MASTER BEDROOM

This master bedroom is filled with so much sunshine and happiness! We love that our client wasn’t afraid to have a bit of fun with the wallpaper. Monkeys and lemon trees set the tone for this space. Paired with tailored furniture pieces and natural textiles this bedroom is whimsical and chic all in the same breathe.

FASHION FORWARD ART DECO MASTER BEDROOM

Our client has such an amazing collection of Art Deco furniture and lighting, when designing this master bedroom we really had fun pulling together the wallpaper to compliment her stunning headboard. The base of the wall is a monochromatic black abstract design, layered with an amazing embroidered wallpaper on top. Truly layers of decadence.

CHARMING ANTIQUE GUEST BEDROOM

It all started with our clients existing antique bed, we reupholstered it in a beautiful merlot velvet, the gorgeous palm wallpaper in varying shades of pinks and greens makes such a great statement for this guest bedroom suite.

As you can see, we feel that wallpaper is often the perfect element for an added layer of luxury for your bedroom. It’s a great way to bring in style, artistic quality, additional color and texture.

Which of the above styles are you most attracted to?
