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?

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...

Eco-Love

Today the spotlight is on Iannone Design. This eco-friendly furniture designer is based out of Philadelphia and produces some of the most charming and naturally beautiful pieces I have seen in a long time.

Ianonne makes and varnishes all the pieces you see by hand and they are constructed of all organic materials. The graphic designs and natural tones create a clean,modern feel. I love the wooden inlays and the use of different tones to create texture and patterns... gorgeous.

J'adore Hunt

Simple palettes and thematic spaces can be boring, beiges and browns if not done right can be drab... Holly does it RIGHT.

Holly Hunt's use of earth tones and textures breathe life into these rooms with muted elegance and charm.

My favorite elements, present in all the rooms, is the natural lines and patterns. Wicker chairs, log accent walls, the unfinished wood tables, the shag mirror... all fantastic and add a warm and cohesive feel to the rooms.
