I would love to paint a room black. I love drama. A black room (or a really dark brown) is all about drama. Not too many people are willing to go so far as to paint a room this dark. Well, now you can live vicariously through these photos.

Steven Miller has been in the business for 13 years. Not one to follow trends, his usage of “clean lines, expressive materials, sophisticated eclecticism, conversational texture and color” makes him a fantastic designer. I love love LOVE his work.

“The main purpose of my work is to provoke people into using their imagination. Most people spend their lives housing in dreary, grey-beige conformity, mortally afraid of using colours. By experimenting with colours, textiles and furniture and utilizing the latest technologies, I try to new ways, to try to encourage people to use their fantasy and make their surroundings more exciting.” – Verner Panton 1926-1998

In honour of Apartment Therapy’s Maxwell and family’s appearance on Oprah today (which I just finished watching – it was awesome!), I thought it was a good time to publish this post.

We all know Nate Berkus – Oprah’s designer buddy. He is a cutie-patootie and turns out he has some pretty amazing photos of his work on his website. Here are some of my favourites.

Tulip chairs are so iconic and adorable. I always wanted a tulip chair and recently bought 2 knock-offs at a local retro antique store for my bedroom. So I thought I would do a post on tulip chairs because I am just so damn proud of myself for owning some of my own!
