DAVID EASTON ~ DESIGN ON RED MOUNTAIN

Interior designer David Easton and renovation architect Eric J. Smith renovated and designed this Aspen home on Red Mountain. After the renovation of the 1970’s home, Easton designed the interior using a palette of blue grays, tans, and biscuit, providing pops of color through his use of the art, pillows, and accessories.

Easton’s use of his trademark tall bay windows provide a breathtaking view of the lovely mountains and fireplaces add warmth to this beautiful family vacation home. ENJOY!

COURTNEY COLEMAN AND BILL BROCKSCHMIDT ~ DESIGN ON FIFTH AVENUE

Architects Courtney Coleman and Bill Brockschmidt were recommended by Rose Tarlow to design an apartment for literary agent Lynn Nesbit.  Being influenced by the apartment of Bill Blass, the architects were asked by Nesbit to visit the designer's apartment.

Nesbit entertains frequently, so the living area was transformed into a library with a table that would seat 24 when the leaves are in.  The apartment is light by day and easily decorated for a party by night.   ENJOY!

THOMAS O’BRIEN ~ DESIGN ON FIFTH AVENUE

Interior designer Thomas O’Brien designed this gorgeous Fifth Avenue apartment.  One of my favorite designers, O’Brien never fails to deliver an over-the-top stunning interior.

The neutral palette plays beautifully with the prominent art and the treasured antiques.  Paintings created by the children are placed as carefully as the collected pieces.

As visually spectacular as this apartment is, there is nothing pretentious about it.  The home sits in a 1930’s building across from Central Park.  ENJOY!

MARTYN LAWRENCE BULLARD ~ REGENCY DAHLING

Classes start today, so I may be a little slow in visiting, but I will get there. Have a great day and ENJOY!

When interior designer and Million Dollar Decorators star Martyn Lawrence Bullard designs a home, the finished product is nothing ordinary.  His trademark Regency style is very prominent in this Beverly Hills home.

Bullard uses a combination of leather, hides, velvet and taffeta silk fabrics, and an enormous amount of glittering color to bring the rooms to life.   His ability to play texture, fabric, and furniture pieces against another is uncanny.  ENJOY!
