What a frightening choice of color scheme !Beige says :no-character,non-descript,definitely very casual, it is certainly not suitable for receiving Heads of States !! What was designer thinking !! It may be his last work. This room is only missing TV and popcorn in that bowl (in place of apples). It looks like a FAMILY ROOM rather than the office .What are the accent pillows doing in Oval Office ?! Of all talented designers in the country...........why Michael Smith ???? Wouldn't grey walls with grey flannel sofas and slate leather chairs,accents in black be better choice ?Cntemporary art could provide color … (4 comments)
What an effective display of those impressive ethnic jars ! I wander, if you too feel tempted to move one of them and place, o......maybe on the stairs someplace? Yet ,it is exactly that "seaming imballance" that is so eye ketching SIMPLE ,BOLD ,ARTISTIC in one word SOPHISTICATED. … (4 comments)
Above room so strongly exudes confidence in expression of the owners personality It is more of sanctuary, rather than just a living room. It tells us the life story of its inhabitants. It makes us feel ,as if we already new them and their exciting ethnic-bohemian interests. To me this is an essence of expressing personality in interior decorating/design. … (4 comments)

vero beach florida: whimsical fotowallpaper, Vero Beach, Fl. decorator
- 02/19/10 03:23 AM
Wouldn't this be a whimsical application on the door to child's room? Only the OPEN sign should be turned around to say CLOSE ,do you agree? I can see it also on the door from garage to the kitchen, possibly the laundry room.....what else ? To me ,the white frame of the door is distracting from the full effect. It needs to be painted the color of the wall to look "more real" Also ...it would be very beneficial to paint the exposed portion of the door with the same red color as the wallpaper to maximize the … (3 comments)

FI First one is an elegant bookshelf that creates point of interest in the room, also one that fills the function of a PIECE OF ART in the room. It is even lighted appropriately. It provides splash of color and the stamp of sophistication in the space.
Here are few of the predicted changes in interior design for next year: * Modern style will not last much longer. * Back to softness and richness of fabrics and sinuous shapes * Baroque minimalism, as Miles Redd calls it, meaning sparse interiors created with richly ornate,amazing pieces. * Scale of furniture will be breaking all the "rules" ,from dainty to overbearing. * Glazed solid linens (like the ones that Clarence House offers) will be replacing chintz. * The dictated/trendy colors will give way to individuality. * No … (7 comments)
