design crush: turner davis interiors

i love it when i find out that several rooms that i have been

drooling over turn out to be designed 

by the same designer or design team.

such was the case with many of the rooms in this post. 

i had seen them here and

there, but it wasn't until i visited 

atlanta based turner davis's 

site that i realized that they 

were the talented people behind them.

check out the lovliness:

oooo...more grey/taupe + orange!

check out the scale of those floor lamps!

such a simple and elegant space.

i am loving those charcoal walls!

the subtle yellow accents here are divine.

i don't see to many theater rooms that make me stop and stare.

this was, of course, an exception.

i've seen this picture several times,

and always love it.

love the fresh feel that the blue and green evoke,

and i am completely in love with those window treatments!

what a grand room...

its HUGE, but feels cozy and layered.

LOVE the mix here.

raffia headboard, 

painted nightstand,

graphic fabric at the window,

modern white lamp

and crisp white bedding.

YES, please!

don't you just want to dive into that couch?

ahh...this porch is stunning.

love it, LOVE it.

love the photos from this rosemary beach home.

this house has the perfect "just beachy enough" vibe.

i'm loving all the white with the greige cabinets.

and check out that lamp!

wow...

it's like i died and went to heaven.

(if heaven was on the beach.)

design*crush: caldwell-flake interiors

in the last few months, i have seen a few

fabulous rooms on several different blogs that

literally took my breath away.

so, i decided to do a little "research"

on the geniuses behind those rooms, 

and i found:

(aren't they both stunning?)

caldwell-flake interiors...

a mother daughter dream duo

(Mary Ruth Caldwell and 

Lisa Caldwell Flake)

based in birmingham alabama.

(this verifies my husbands belief

that all things from alabama RULE.

i'll have to agree with him in this case.)

check out some of their work:

this room is perfection.

i love the burst of color that is introduced 

in a bold cut velvet. love that dark ceiling too!

this room strikes a wonderful balance

between graphic and traditional,

monochomatic and colorful,

 elegance and chic.

check out the ceiling detail and the back of that banquette!

another beautiful grey kitchen.

yes! to: over scaled lamps, unique sunburst mirror,

patterned drapes and sumptuous suzani pillows! 

yummy metallics really add some drama to this  bedroom.

LOVE the pops of citrine/grellow!

this room is absolutely gorgeous.

gor. geous.

notice the houndstooth on the bench?

i wonder if the homeowner is a crimson tide fan?

beautiful symmetry.

the bold wallpaper really makes a statement on the ceiling!

i love the large lamps, the back of the bookshelves painted dark,

and the trim on the bottom of the matching sofas.

this room has a masterful stroke of texture.

again, a subtle and sophisticated use of color that

i find so appealing...

that metallic wallpaper is beautiful balanced against the

marble...and check out the gothic detail on the cabinet fronts!

what a gorgeous portfolio!

design*crush: massucco warner miller

dream team:

julie massucco, 
melissa warner 
and carrie miller

these three ladies have got 
some serious style!

i love the way their interiors can range from subdued and earthy to

bold and upbeat. their use of color is sophisticated and fresh, and

comes in the perfect dose in each space.

love these roman shades. while the pattern is graphic, and rather bold,

it has a certain delicateness about it which works so well with the

other elements in the room.

bold draperies and upholstery are

masterfully balanced with the neutral walls, floors and sofa.

i've seen this picture around many times, and

it always brings a smile to my face.

isn't this cobalt sofa with the 

white welting magical?

two of my faves in one space:

striped curtain panels, and a touch of zebra!

i think i could eat this room, it's that yummy!

i love how the ornate whimsical wallpaper is balanced with

the crisp bedding and all that white.

plus, i love me a box pleated bedskirt...

the color is this bedroom is so sophisticated!

the complimentary color scheme is subtle and classic

and perfectly balanced.

another smart use of complimentary colors,

this time in a bold way.

that chandelier is fabulous!

love the kelly wearstler fabric on the chair,

and the wall color is so soothing!

pops of orange on those stools really add to the warm feeling 

this room evokes.

yes sir. 

this is some fierce lady-power at work!

every picture in their portfolio was

absolute perfection.

you can check out more of

their work here.

design*crush: mary mcdonald

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.

ahh...my new favorite designer!
