Moodie's Mood for Decour

Sorry I have been a bit absent everyone... its been a hectic month!

Again, searching the web for decor to die for... I found Lucyina Moodie, an interior stylist, who's looks are fresh, clean and absolutely beautiful. Should I ever be rich enough to own a perfect beach home in the Hamptons, I know exactly who will be doing my decorating.

Look at the details! Floweret pillows... crooked set mugs...book lined staircase...dining chairs with sashes... and my personal fav - a chandelier in the sun room. Think how stunning that must be under a night sky - J'adore it ALL.

Fabrique Fab

Check out this fantastic fabric decour. Paint, wallpaper, leather and wood take a backseat today. Beautiful things can be done with fabric, patterns and cloth. They add a texture and a vibrancy to any room. I love what each of these designers have done with fabric and patterns... beautiful...

Designer's Guild

Illuminate.

These pieces speak for themselves. All I can do is tell you where to take a closer look and which geniuses created them...

By Hudson Furniture Inc. Breathtaking.  Build an entire space around a chandelier.  Top Design just did this, but their pieces weren't nearly this fabulous...

Artemide.  Yes, they look like they belong on the set of Star Trek, but still... wow.  This first one looks like illuminated mercury suspended in mid-air...

Old World Chic

Introducing...Stylist Twig Hutchinson... When I was looking at these photos they looked like a photographers portfolio. That's because Twig helps clients stylize their furniture lines and gives advice on future collections. Now I know my dream job... *sigh*... Jadore.

What Twig has done with these spaces is gorgeous. The photographer has done an absolutely amazing job which only enhances the environment... It reminds me of an old Italian village (a la Under the Tuscan Sun)... all vintage... all old world chic...

The pale blue of the walls, the bold marigold dress... red tiled floor... perfection.

Old world, wall-in basin? I want it!

Fantastic headboard.

Camera angle here is amazing, like a Escher painting... look at the antique paint and detailing on the ceiling... wow.

I LOVE the look of a free standing tub. It makes me want to light candles and have a glass of cabernet in the bath.

Henderson Homes

Recently I came across the work of Shawn Henderson. An interior designer from New York. I love his spaces. They have a lived in, home-y feel while still being airy and open. Henderson also uses color in fantastic ways. The palette of the spaces featured below both compliment and frame the major art pieces chosen for each room.

J'adore....

Riveting Decour

In my searching for my next blog topic I found Bilhuber and Associates. Jeffery Bilhuber has designed for such big names and companies as Conde Nast, Anna Wintour, Iman & David Bowie, Elsa Peretti... I could go on! His designs are sophisticated and rich without being overpowering. Color schemes are complex and inviting and his use of detailing is unbelievable.

Many designers have a signature. Some little something that they add to the design world which places their fingerprint on a space. Some use color in specific ways, some love texture or specific patterns like the Burberry of the design world. One of Bilhuber's signatures (as there can be more than one) is Rivets.

Rivets? Who would have thought to use rivets on the walls or the floor of a room?! But look what he has done with these spaces with simple linear patterns built into the rooms. Just... rivets.

Jadore the Details....

J'adore Rustique

Cool tones, aged wood and tea roses create the perfect rustic home feel. These rooms look like they belong in scenes from A Good Year, which was a very mediocre movie with fabulous photography and decor. Spaces like these, created by Sandy Koepke, make you feel like you are living in some quaint little town in Provence, no?

Jadore...

Heart Desire to Inspire

I need to take a moment to say a huge J'adore Decour thanks to the creators of the fabulous blog...

I am especially grateful for their taking the time to check out my blog... Many many thanks to you!

Bourgeois Bohemia

I was poking around in the best decor magazine EVER, Elle Decor (haha). And came across some amazing vintage decor treats on Bourgeois Boheme. I can picture them in an old SoHo loft style apartment. Exposed brick, dark woods and vintage Decor. Fantastic finds.

Catching the Decour Bug... Literally.

If you are anything like me, the prospect of having an insect of ANY kind in your home is borderline horrifying. Let's put it this way, the Orkin Man and I are good friends. (This little tidbit will become important when you see what my next featured designer has in store.)

When I first looked at Brad Ford's designer portfolio I thought, wow, he ties nature into these rooms in the most subtle ways. (Just look at the accent table below... fabulous, no?) Then I saw the wall paper in each room and thought, wow... it really pops off the screen! The detailing and color of the insects on the walls must be amazing.

Then I realized, its not just wall paper...

...The bugs are real.

Brad has taken creative decor to a new level here, if you ask me. The idea of actually using insects as accent decor ... wow. I am speechless. Is this idea creepy or brilliant? You tell me...
