Design Crush...BERRIE BENSON

Sometimes I feel so lucky because not only do I get to be a designer, I get to be a blogger too. The best part about being a blogger is acknowledging the amazing people in my field, espeically my favorite designers. I love what I do and I love my own looks and styles but I REALLY LOVE to gush over my fellow talented design professionals. I am always in awe of incredible and interesting work. 
Berrie Benson is no exception and lately has been rocking my world. Her design eye so fresh and fab, I am loving all that she does. Here are some of my favorite looks...
the ever so in demand closet + vanity...I love the three green chinoiserie pieces and those scones are just to die.
 the perfect guest bedroom...
 This entryway wallpaper, art and chair combo is such an incredible mix. 
 And alas, as we all know the beloved home office. Could we please talk about those gorgeous emerald chairs? Perched right up next to that beautiful blush pink wall...a job well done.

office space of the day...a heavenly space

This is the home office of Lee Kleinhelter, shop owner of Pieces which is one of my favorite decor stores. Thanks to julie, I found pictures of her amazing, amazing space.

This is another view of the same office space look...
I just love the way these rooms are styled. The wallpaper, the pieces (total word play)!

office space of the day...the right mix

Things are going swimmingly in Dallas. The VandM event was a smash (read a bit about it here).
The wonderful people of ID collection, Dwell with Dignity and Pulp Design Studios were amazing co-creators of the soiree. Thanks to all who were involved.
I LOVE DALLAS! 
Which brings me to this office space. It's sexy, chic and modern, with a dash of vintage...
very evident of what vibe Dallas has going on right now. love it.
White walls + glossy black desk + sexy arm chair + chrome chandelier + edgy art =

office space of the day...a different kind of home office decor

glossy walls + pops of color + gorgeous desk + art on bookcase + vintage tiffany lamp =
domestic bliss
Lately, I am really into eccentric office space like these...
Mixing styles, finishes and periods can look so fab looking when done right.
I love all of this color in these photos, but for some reason, I love my office to be clean and serene so I can get actual work done and let my creative mind play with imaginary colors.
Rooms situated like this is always cool to see because its an office + bedroom...so very nyc.
I kind of really love it.

office space of the day...Ashley Stark's home office

pretty teal wallpaper + acrylic chair + grandma's vintage desk + hot pink skull {love}=
domestic bliss
Ashley Stark's bedroom desk area literally has had me swooning for days. The color of the walls, the white fur rug, the antique desk, the chair...EVERYTHING. Oh, and we all know my love of skulls at the moment.
While I love my plain white desk chair...I must say that I am really loving acrylic chairs in the office.
For some reason, I think I really must have one. I really enjoy the way the mix looks against colored furniture. It really just lets the beauty of the desk breathe and not be weighed down by a distracting finish or fabric.
or a pair of them looks great as well...
this yellow number is pretty adorable too...

office space of the day...dark and dreamy

something about this dark and moody workspace inspires me to work all day...
dark brown walls + double workspace + zebra rug + studded ottomans + built ins =
domestic bliss
Maybe there is something to working in a dreamy space, perfect for the creative type.

I am drawn to the coziness of the deep cushioned chairs and delicious wall colors.
It's the perfect winter home office, all you need are some yummy candles and you are ready to work.

office space of the day... art wall ideas

mod desk + beautiful blue chair + sculptural lamp + bar cart office tray + mix of artwork=

I have slowly been creating a beautiful home office for myself. I finally found the perfect desk to fit in my apartment. It's black and glossy with the most beautiful legs. (i will put up a pic soon)
So now, I am looking for the perfect way to dress up the wall space above my desk...
and I love the way these collections of great pictures look above fabulous pieces. 
All black frames with white matting looks divine, but mixes of gold frames is an old favorite too! 
Curious to know what you guys have above your desk....? I'm would love some fun suggestions. 

Wallcolor Wednesday...prospecting purple

My newest client is the ultimate girls girl...
and her love of purple is similar to my own. That just makes me incredibly happy. So in attempt to create her living room dreams, we are starting with a plum/eggplant color on the walls. We are thinking of going with something like this below...and adding some gorgeous gold frames.
She lives in a pre-war walk up, with the most amazing molding similar to this utterly glamorous room below. I love the mix of different purples. That pop of light blue in the drapery is divine too. 
What a really good wallpaper can accomplish for you?
Style without too much clutter on the walls, similar to this pretty purple pattern.
This one is a favorite of course, and I think I might need that glass coffee table too.

office space of the day... a picturesque desk

Hi everyone! Please excuse my absence from the blog...High Point Market has been incredibly wonderful yet completely time consuming. There is so much to share with you all, I am just bursting at the seams and will do a big post all about it soon. We have seen some of the most beautiful things, which inspires me to covet a desk like this beautiful black and gold one...
incredibly gorgeous desk + pineapple based lamp + classic white molding + textured wallpaper =

office space of the day...the bedroom workspace

dreamy walls + perfect bedroom light + lucite armed chair + gorgeous glass desk =
domestic bliss
Being that my apartment is a studio...
my workspace is basically my bedroom. 
So, today I am inspired by the beautiful workspaces situated right in the bedroom. There is something about it that is very hotel-like, and I secretly love it.
I love the mix of pretty purples in this bedroom, it's such a fabulous example of using the same color in different hues. 
After seeing all of these gorgeous photos, I am ready to jazz up my home office....again!
