CHRIS BARRETT ~ BUNGALOW DESIGN

IT HAS BEEN ONE BUSY WEEK FOR ME!  Can't wait to get back and visit all of your beautiful blogs!
***
Owner Chris Barrett designed this beautiful bungalow. Barrett used a neutral palette with splashes of color in the pillows and flowers. The home has wooden beams and lintels, wooden floors, and plaster walls.

The furnishings are curved to make the space appear larger, and a hide rug is on the living room floor. Barrett removed the top cabinets in the kitchen to add space and a place to showcase her dishes. The kitchen is walled in white tiles.

The garden can be seen from Barrett’s bedroom, and she stays outside as much as possible, especially when she has guests for dinner.

ENJOY!

TED TUTTLE ~ DESIGN IN WASHINGTON

When interior designer Ted Tuttle found this house in Centralia, Washington, he knew that he was home.  The home was built in 1935 by Elizabeth Ayer, the first woman to graduate from the University of Washington with a degree in architecture.

The home was dated, and needed a new facelift to remove wallpaper, carpet, and the kitchen flooring.  The electrical, plumbing, and the bathrooms had to be redone.  The kitchen and laundry room were combined and redesigned, adding oak hardwood floors. The picket fence needed 60 pickets, and Tuttle found an old finial in the bushes and had it replicated.

Tuttle painted the entire home and furnished the home using an eclectic mix.  The designer owned much of the furniture, but bought quite a bit of new pieces, including pieces from Rose Tarlow, Ballard Designs, Pottery Barn, and Crate & Barrel.  ENJOY!


This is a vintage Baker dining room table.

RICHARD BORIES AND JAMES SHEARRON ~ 900 SQARE FEET DESIGN

Interior designers Richard Bories and James Shearron renovated and created the interior of this 900 square feet apartment.  The designers created a palette of soft gray, which appears seamless.  The walls and closet doors were painted the same gray, and touch latches were used on closets to help blend into the wall perfectly.

Shearron and Bories painted the front door high-gloss yellow, painted the bedroom ceiling with a navy blue.  The entry closet is also painted to appear as an Ellsworth Kelly painting.

The zigzag chairs are covered in Madeline Weinrib rugs, and screens were added on each side of the room.  Bories and Shearron placed the large table in front of a window, and instead of tall bookcases, a low credenza was used for the television. The designers took out the large cabinets in the kitchen and built shelves. 

ENJOY!

BILL INGRAM ~ DESIGN IN MOUNTAIN BROOK

Owner and architect Bill Ingram designed this 1400 square feet home in Birmingham, Alabama.  The home is in the Mountain Brook area, a prime real estate section in Birmingham. It is a block from Mountain Brook Village, which has great restaurants and shops.

Ingram removed the siding, roof, and windows.  He also replaced the fireplace with stone.  The house now dons cedar shakes and a heavier shake roof.  The doors are glass. 

He painted the hardwood floors with large and small stripes.  The kitchen has been turned into the master bath and walk-in closet.  A tiny kitchen with a built in counter resembling a campaign chest now occupies the space near the living room.  A tiny table sits in the dining room.  To make the home appear larger, Ingram painted almost every room white.  The guest room is a dark color.

Ingram has been collecting furniture for years, mostly English and American, and it fits beautifully into his home.  He added Belgian linen panels from Restoration Hardware on the tester bed. 

ENJOY!

BEAUFRONT CASTLE IN NORTHUMBERLAND

Ask Aidan Cuthbert what he thinks of the new roses of today, and you will hear an ear full. Cuthbert is Beaufront's owner, and he believes that the roses are worth fighting the rot and aphid attacks because of their beauty and scents. He began planting these roses in the 60's, never imagining what the gardens would become.

Cuthbert has no use for the modern tea roses. After walking through a door in the wall to reach this two-acre English garden, you will understand. The roses bloom during June and July, and they are stunning.

The turrets and towers of the castle evoke childhood thoughts. Add this to the beauty of this garden, perfection. ENJOY!

NICK OLSEN ~ 295 SQUARE FEET OF DESIGN

How can you possibly design a 295 square foot room into such a warm and beautiful space?  Ask Nick Olsen to help.  His experience working for Miles Redd has certainly paid off!

Olsen brought this room to life using bold pieces mixed with smaller pieces.  His use of color against the light blue walls is perfection.  A marble remnant, mercury glass, a rug, expensive remnants of fabric, and perfect placement of furnishings finish this warm home. 

ENJOY!

STUDIO ~ 650 SQUARE FEET

Maureen Footer designed this gorgeous 650 square foot studio that she calls home. The apartment is dripping is luxurious fabric, a lovely mix of furnishing, and stunning dashes of color everywhere.

Footer, using inspiration from Billy Baldwin, Stanley Barrows, and Van Day Truex, used wall to ceiling bookshelves and curtains. The tapestry in the living room is powerful, as is the beautiful black desk. The rooms are divided using a different wallpaper and paint color. The canopy bed brings an ordinary bed to life, and the seating area brings the separate space together with the living room. The entry way is separated from the living room by the large floor to ceiling bookshelf.

ENJOY!
