Interior Design Sense

{Windsor Smith one of my all time favorite designers}

If you’ve read MG for a while, you know I’m all about “comfortable glamour.”  Lately I’ve been really drawn the style that made me fall in love with Interior Design years ago “California Casual.”  It’s the anti-furniture store look I embraced eagerly as a young designer/student.  Color, a mix of textures, and a general relaxed feel perfected by Peter Dunham, Schulyer Samperton, and Estee Stanley to name a few.

And then there’s this…just love.  Sparkle, monochromatic textures, and modern elements:

{Finn Jewelry Showroom as seen on So Haute}

{My favorite version of Sally Wheat’s Living Room}

{I’m guessing Ryan Korban?}

Faux fur throws and touches of black? YES!

{Tara Shaw}

Mix of antiques with sparkly/shining things

Clean-lined perfection…realistically I could not live with all the white and zero clutter but I do love to look at it.

I know my favorite styles aren’t exactly polar opposites, but it’s fun to analyze.  Ultimately I’m somewhere in the middle and just buy things I love!

What do I love more than an upholstered bed?  An upholstered headboard/iron canopy combo!  This room is pure perfection in my eyes.  I love the large pattern on the rug and headboard, and the mainly solid fabrics everywhere else.  This bedroom is in Tara Shaw’s house.

Clean simple with a pop of color just how I like my bedrooms! Room by Kara Mann.

This looks like a Phoebe Howard bedroom to me.  Love the textured headboard with the iron canopy.

The Tara Shaw bed!  I think it’s perfect.

This Bed by Restoration Hardware has great lines.  I would slipcover the headboard & foot-board. It’s on sale now too for a great price!

For a cleaner lines, go with this “Marco” bed from Oly Studio.

Possibly my favorite, the “Diego” Bed also from Oly.

Not necessarily wrought iron, but I had to include this mirrored number also from Oly.  Gorgeous!

Love this one from Restoration Hardware Baby & Child

You can get up to a Queen size from PB Teen!
