Color Crush: Acid Green

I recently visited the annual Hearst Designer Visions Showcase at Walker Tower in New York and was totally inspired by the color palette that designer Alessandra Branca used in the master bedroom of the model apartment she designed for Elle Decor. The walls and windows are covered in an acid green damask printed fabric called “Anna” from her line for Schumacher which she accented with shades of gray and coral, making  for a very unexpected color combination. Before I saw this space, I would have cringed at the thought of a bedroom covered in acid green but somehow this …

Style Stalking: Cindy Sherman’s Eclectic Hamptons Retreat

The latest issue of Architectural Digest showcases conceptual artist Cindy Sherman’s Hamptons home and I’m totally loving its vibrant and eclectic interiors. I think that I sometimes overuse the word eclectic but that is truly one of the most accurate words to describe this country retreat which features a mix of antiques with provenance, contemporary pieces and flea market finds as well as a broad range of ethnic textiles from diverse origins such as India, Pakistan, Africa, France and Italy. And it’s no surprise that her home also features an abundant art collection consisting of thrift finds placed alongside important …

Most of the furniture is customizable in a variety of fabrics and finishes, which is always a decorator’s dream. For the event, myself along with fellow bloggers Suzanne & Lauren McGrath of Good Bones Great Pieces and Christine Cameron of My Style Pill were asked to choose …
