The Yellow Cape Cod: Mixing Patterns~A Hint About My Big Secret

I have the most exciting news to share, I am so geeked to tell you that I'm about to bust. It is one of the most exciting things that has happened since I ditched my banking career to pursue my true ~~obsession~~ passion. It ranks up there with my upcoming feature in BHG (not quite as awesome, but up there). I can't spill the beans yet, but I can give you a hint. It has to do with bridging the gap between the secret world of designer product sources and us "real people".

While I'm trying to keep myself composed, I'll be busy working on your online designs. Speaking of which, we are bracing for the spring and tax season rush…if you would like to reserve your on-line design consultation, now is the time. Spots are limited to ensure adequate time and attention to each space.

This recent online design plan is a family room project for a gorgeous traditional style home. This custom design is a great example of a sophisticated space that is family friendly.

The client wanted a family room that was well appointed, but not stuffy. We used rich dark wood furnishings with slight distressing to keep the space feeling lived-in and approachable. Her gorgeous fireplace stone was the basis for our color palette.

We updated the traditional style of this design with a contemporary mix of patterns. The handsome striped chairs have a slim profile and graphic stripe that give them an updated feel.

The rug chosen for the space is traditional in design. The contemporary brown and gray color palette and somewhat modern floral motif keep it feeling young.

The neutral sofa will be sporting toss pillows in a beautiful gray trellis pattern fabric.

By mixing stripes, trellis and a modern floral this space is on-trend, yet the overall traditional flavor will stand the test of design time.
