Interior Design Sense

The Collector’s issue of THE quintessential MAGAZINE is full of the inspiring, the found, the unusual and the beautiful just like the store that gave it birth, quintessential duckeggBLUE. Dinosaur Designs’ Louise Olsen talks about the inspiration behind her new Ocean collection. Überstylist Glen Proebstel captures the magic of heartfelt treasures in New York and author Karen McCartney reveals how a misspent youth in London forged her style. And then there are the collections! Bobbins, bread boards, shoe lasts, potato mashers … how ordinary things can be extraordinary.

Hello Lynsey Fryers! You don’t know me but I love your style. Young, fresh with just enough vintage and crafty goodness. Eye candy and inspiration. Just what your job as a stylist requires you to do. Build dreams and encourage us to covet. Simply lovely. (Via Pat Bates & Assoc.who have all the best talent on their books.)

As I begin to shop and scheme for a new client I have to keep in mind her mention and love for the color green.  It just so happens that emerald green is Pantone’s color of the year, so lucky for me, there’s some inspiration out there.  I’ve always loved green — it’s a color that surrounds us and makes our gardens, lawns and forests as pretty as they are.  It’s refreshing and relaxing which is why I can’t wait to get started and create a wonderful space for my client using green.  Take a look at some inspiration I’ve found while cruising the web:

love the black and whites against the emerald green walls

i love this bold leopard carpet against the emerald green built-ins

a lovely green chinoiserie

a splash of emerald green curtains

inspiration and colors can come from anywhere if you like it on a door you’ll like it on your walls

mix your greens!

nothing better than a tufted sofa with a pleated skirt in emerald green

mixing geometrics with patterns and various greens

playful and bold moments of green!

I found the following London home in the archives of one of my favourite real estate sites, Domus Nova, and immediately fell in love. The owner wanted to preserve the period details while ensuring the home worked for their modern family (with the help of Michaelis Boyd Associates). The weathered stone flooring (heated!) is the perfect rustic touch, the original panelling on the walls, internal window shutters and marble fireplaces were all preserved or carefully restored to create a unique and intiguing interior. This home is going right into my inspiration folder.
