until a week ago, i didn't realize i had a crush on mary mcdonald...
but one of her rooms caught my eye, and so i googled her.
oh my.
i realized that i recognized dozens of her spaces
because i have them stored in my design files!
serendipity at it's finest.
this woman has phenomenal taste.
she is a true master of color,
and i LOVE the
layers and textures
and details she uses
to create
dramatic,
chic,
elegant,
whimsical,
and refined rooms.
****
did you have a favorite room,
or something that really caught YOUR eye?
i'd love to hear what you think!

Wow! Great rooms. All of them look so inviting.
ReplyDeleteThat black and white striped sitting room was so Mrs. Robinson I could hardly stand it. I'm a glutton for black and white stripes!
ReplyDeleteAlso, the white bathroom with the fireplace has just enough rustic elements to give it edge and warmth.
But, really, there wasn't a single image I didn't love. Ms. McDonald is a winner. Thanks for sharing!
beth,
ReplyDeletei totally agree! this is one talented lady. i am really drawn to all of the details in each of her room. you can literally spend 5 minutes just staring at one picture, slowly taking in all of the details!
i love those black and white stripes too!
so classic and chic.
I'll fight you for her ! ;) She is great.
ReplyDeleteOh yes. Everything she touches turns to gold. I'm told she has a book coming out, so stay tuned. :o)
ReplyDeleteAmazing work, so rich and sophisticated!
ReplyDeleteI'm speechless... there's so much to love about her work.
ReplyDeleteYour crush is quite understandable. Beautiful rooms!
ReplyDeleteHi Autumn! I am new. :) I LOVE these! The last one seems so soothing and serene that I like that one best at the moment, but I am also a sucker for black and white. I love a lot of contrast. Thanks for your beautiful blog! Steph.
ReplyDeleteYes I'm quite fond of Mary too. She knows how to work those colors when she wants to.
ReplyDeleteHer flooring choices really stand out to me! Wow, she's good!
ReplyDeleteI have died and gone to heaven. For so long I thought that Candice Olsen could not be topped for me but this woman is my idol as well! Can I just say that you are kind of my idol as well. I love how you incorporate the white and black with the clean lines and whimsy all at once. OMG I SO SO SO need your help trying to figure out how to finish up my bedroom and my nursery for baby on the way in January! Are you a fan of Z Gallerie? I am so in love. I saw a blue tufted bed a few posts back that you had pictured and I have the cream sleigh tufted bed from Z and its by far one of my favorite pieces! Ah I am SO GLAD I found your blog!!!
ReplyDeletesara,
