BENJAMIN DHONG ~ INTERIOR DESIGN IN SAN FRANCISCO

Interior designer Benjamin Dhong uses a monochromatic palette and a wonderful collection of art in this comfortable and serene home in San Francisco.   Dhong covered the sofa in a fabric the same color as the wall allowing the sofa to almost disappear, leaving the room with a more spacious appearance.  The large bedside table in the bedroom is substantial enough for everything the owner needs to have close at hand.

I will admit that this home is a favorite of mine because of all of the stunning sculptures.  The large piece in the living room and the piece on the bedside table are exceptional.  ENJOY!





Please pray for those who lost loved ones in Alabama and surrounding states yesterday.
It was a horrible  2 days.  249 confirmed dead in Alabama, and the number is expected to grow.

See you soon,
Teresa

JOHN SALADINO ~ INTERIOR DESIGN IN FLORIDA


Thank you so much for the nice comments over the last week.  I will hopefully be back full force next week.  I am putting up some posts for this week.  Have a great week, friends.

John Saladino is certainly no stranger to those of us who keep up with the design world.  His work is soothing and beautiful, mixing several styles to create a masterpiece.

In this Florida home, Saladino mixes modern with traditional to create a monochromatic yet romantic home.  Notice the Rothko and the antique table in the dining room.  ENJOY!








Have a great week, and I will be back soon.
See you soon,
Teresa

JEAN-LOUIS DENIOT ~ INTERIOR DESIGN IN PARIS

When interior design genius Jean-Louis Deniot was asked to renovate a Paris pied-a-terre, he chose 18th century with a touch of modern.  This wasn't the first home the designer had decorated for the family, so he knew precisely what they wanted.

The designer accomplished the look that the couple and their children desired by opening the area up, moving some rooms around, painting walls to enhance the light coming through the tall windows, and choosing furnishings that were elegant yet comfortable. ENJOY!








For more on this pied-a-terre, read the May issue of Elle Decor.

HONEYMOON IN HARLEM

Getting married mid-life has proven challenging as well of rewarding for interior designer Elaine Griffin and husband, Michael McGarry. The couple bought an 1890's Harlem brownstone which only has 1000 square feet.  Compromising, the couple mingled Asian and European styles. ENJOY!

DESIGN IN SONOMA

When interior designer Patrick Printy and Don Holland decided to build a weekend getaway in Sonoma, they didn't know that it would eventually become a permanent residence. The Dutch architecture goes beautifully with the furnishings, appearing as if the home has been there forever. ENJOY!
