Carolyn Quartermaine

Carolyn Quartermain is a London-based designer and stylist!

She designs beautiful fabrics made of silk and floaty chiffons in magical colors.

I love how she mixes beautiful fabrics of vibrant pastels and gold combined with timeless antiques.

Her style is pure eye-candy:

Don't these colors make you happy, while at the same time get you excited for Spring?!

Affordable Home Decorating Methods

Decorating your home need not be a completely daunting task. If you own your own home, there is no doubt that you have big ideals and plans in your mind of what you want it to look like. Unfortunately these dreams can go hand in hand with sadness, as most people cannot afford to give their home the complete revamp that they want.The good news is that realistically, these things can be done step

... A Classic!

In a village near Hollywood, Tia Zoldan turned a plain 1920's cottage into a classic gem!

Notice how to she added the perfect amount of color by adding bright, cheery furniture pieces throughout the home:

I love the cranberry/mint color scheme in her daughter's darling room... so charming!

Home Decorator Plan

Most individuals go forward and invest in items due to the fact they saw it in a gorgeous exhibit or people informed them to get it. When you get residence with these items usually men and women are not as enthusiastic as they have been at the store, but know what to do. With a strategy in hand you know what you are searching for and will not be swayed by each and every temptation that comes

Juxtaposing Rough And Refined

I know I have blogged about Darryl Carter before, but I can't help but go off on some of my favorite designers!  Darryl gets it; his design is based on minimalism - stripping away all unnecessary embellishment (loud colors, busy patterns) to focus attention on carefully curated pieces.

How sad to have beautiful antiques throughout your home, but you can't see them because there is too much going on.

This is a huge reason why I love the monochromatic!  

Darryl says, "White rooms make old things seem more current."  He goes on to say, "White rooms are more complex than they appear because there are no distractions.  Every choice becomes critical."

I love Darryl's 19th-century Virginia home.  He perfectly balances the rough and refined, creating the perfect juxtaposition of texture and atmosphere!

I love how Rosy Strazzeri-Fridman puts it: "It's not that I have an aversion to color - it's just that I have more of an affinity for the monochromatic.  For me, people are color, flowers are color, food is color... and all of this is my canvas."

... amen girl!

Blanc d'Ivoire

A couple of years ago while in Paris, my husband and I walked into a gorgeous store! 

The furniture reminded me of everything French and the selection was the perfect combination of antique and modern elegance!  Ever since that day I have been a huge fan and would love to get my hands on some of this beautiful furniture.

Blanc d'Ivoire carries a large selection of beautiful light fixtures, consoles, buffets along with luxurious French quilts and bedding.
