It was the custom-made chairs draped in silk velvet called Deluxe Blue Crab from Gretchen Bellinger that caught my eye. How gorgeous and bright does this hue look? So rich and regal. Velvet can be dated at times but if done right, the correct selection of furniture as well as other add ons in the whole scheme of design, can make the textile just as modern and fabulous…
This masculine space with the chromes, gunmetals, charcoal grays & black wooden floors is amazing. I wouldn’t change a thing…
The same color scheme is carried on into the living room. Love the retro telephone on the side table…
Is velvet one of your favs?

I was not going to sleep tonight until I found this woman’s house. I watch the Nate Berkus show on dvr religiously. Granted, by the time I get free time, I’m usually watching multiple episodes at a time. With that said, it was exactly the case this wknd when he had a woman on who submitted photos of her place. I am not even a vintage kind of girl. Actually I’m eclectic modern with global influences kind of girl. My living room has contemporary styles mixed in with some traditional & it has African, animal print decor pieces. My bedroom is Moroccan in deep plums and cranberry hues. My bathroom is peach & ivory with seashells and shore elements. All my furniture is black as it’s my fav color. However nothing is decorated the way I envision because….student loans are due! LOL
