Andrea Monath Schumacher of O Interior Design emailed to let us know she has some new work featured in her portfolio. We featured her Denver, CO firm here a couple of years ago. Still lovin’ her casual yet sophisticated style with touches of Hollywood Regency and fab splashes of colour, pattern and texture.  

Inspiring spaces. Inspriring photography. Enjoy both via some goodies I found in the portfolio of photographer Marili Forastieri. LOVE the fish art above. 

Interiors: Tricia Foley, Lias Perry, Maison24, Neal Beckstedt, David Scott

Timothy Corrigan is an interior designer whose work we’ve all seen at some point in time as his work has been featured in about 85,000 magazines. His style is far more traditional/classical than we typically post but I have to say he’s pretty brave when it comes to colours and textures and he’s designed some pretty spectacular homes. Someone from his crew wrote us and sent along photos so I decided to break away from the norm and blog some of his work. If you can see through some of the “I have too much money to blow on my decor” there’s some fun elements and awesome colours that will inspire. 

If you’d like to send me photos to include in next week’s “pets on furniture” post, please ensure your photos follow my basic rules: First, the pet must be on a piece of furniture. And said piece of furniture must be clearly visible in the photo, so it takes center stage rather than your pet. Think of it more of a photo of a great piece of furniture that you want to show off…and your pet happens to be sitting on it. And second, the photo must be of decent quality. If it’s dark or fuzzy (from a camera phone) then it may not make the cut. Photos, your name, location and a brief description can be sent to desiretoinspirekim@hotmail.comand PLEASE don’t send closeups of your pet! Thanks!

Charlie, our 2-year-old Cavalier King Charles, just loves our new wingback chair.

This is Savannah, our 15 year old beautiful rescue cat perched on one of her favorite chairs (it’s centrally located – thus she can track our 19 month old’s whereabouts at all times).
– Ashley (Jersey City, NJ)

This is Portia cosying up on the couch with a crochet blanket and some cushions.
– Penny (Melbourne, Australia) 

Here comes Kipshas, our cooperator at building and making home. Participating in every step of our life and friend of everyone in our family. Standing in our new Kitchen on one of two our “piece of Art” chair (got such value after painting walls). One in kitchen, one in bathroom.
– Laura & Vydmantas

Photo is of Pearl (black, 7 yr old) & Stinker (fawn, 3 yr old).

Lucca enjoys this spot in so many ways… on colder days she sprawls across the heat vent behind the ottoman; and on warmer ones she takes her “sun siesta” on it.  Clearly no sleeping is involved in this photo… here she’s engrossed in birding!  (Note: the reupholster said in 20 years of work, he had never see a pattern align so perfectly!)
– Janet (Charlottesville, VA) 

This is Vinny – our 1 1/2 year old Maremmano (Italian sheepdog) who is a breed of livestock guardian dogs – as you can see, he is more happy snuggled in the comfort of our home than out with the sheep!
– Lauren (London)

This is Tigre, my 1 year old Bengal. He follows me around the apartment and gets his curious little self into just about everything; including my photographs :).
– Marie-Louise (Vancouver, BC)

I’m sending the picture of my cat Feio (it means “ugly” in brazilian portuguese) he’s a lovely, fluffy gentle old fat guy with just one full function eye, one ill leg and a huge need for love. I adopted him about 3 years ago and I think he is about 13-14 years old right now. He almost doesn’t get to climb furniture because of his leg, but he absolutely loves sunbathing in my set of white poufs. It is the one thing, other than my lap, that he thinks it’s worth the effort.
– Karine (Porto Alegre – Brazil)

Here’s a sweet picture or our greatly missed Mainecoon kitty cat, Kennedy, lounging in an Overman pod chair which he adopted immediately upon it’s arrival in the house! We had to let him go to pussy cat heaven Jan 8 2011. You can see a little tribute video I made in his honor here. We still miss him dearly. He was such a character and such a good kitty cat. The Overman pod chair has also moved on to a new owner in New Orleans.
– Mr. Modtomic (St. Louis Missouri)

This is out exotic shorthair kitten, Mia. She makes herself at home anywhere including on my vintage sleepy hollow chair that was my grandparent’s.
– Holly

Clyde lounging on his favorite orange throw with a mural of George Nelson in the background. He’s a bit of a design snob. But then, he lives in The Hamptons, NY.

I enclose a photo of my two beloved girls, Mafy and Lalit enjoying an early spring afternoon, each on her own titanic chair in my garden in Padova, Northern Italy.

Bubosha sleeps on the bed. Only.
