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!
