I know you've seen it...but I LOVE it..

I know these two spaces are all over blog world today...but Betsy Burnham's design sense is so up my alley, her attention to detail is crazy-good!

{and on a side-note..I've been reading Albert Hadley - The Story of America's Preeminent Interior Designer. It's a very entertaining read..i guess for the design obsessed like myself} I love so many of his textile and wallcovering prints; especially his "fireworks" line above, I would love to use this on a project soon...

I love using color and pattern in my work, but I also find the use of subtle color and texture very appealing. The color use, balance of modern and more traditional elements and the art collection infuse this space with a wonderful sculptural quality! These images leave me wanting to see more of this house!

I find most of my readers are pretty design savvy, so you may have seen these photos in your own publications..but I find I can continually absorb the same amazing rooms again and again! Here are some photos of recent favorites! I'm drawn and often design classically modern spaces, rooms that draw inspiration from the past but incorporate a blend of updated older pieces with a unexpected modern twist speak to me and inform my own work. Lonny Magazine is a breath of fresh air..hopefully they'll come out with a paper version at some point. They are taking contributions on their site, I'm going to donate to this worth while read! A big thank you to Michelle and Patrick and all the contributors for continually wowing us with your amazing publication!
