Neutrals

Posted on Mon, 14 Jul 2008 by KiM

I am a huge fan of colour, but the Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles 2008 Designer Showhouse could not be any more neutral, and surprisingly, I love it. (The home combines the efforts of Keith Summerour of Summerour Architects and Nancy Pendergrast of Summerour Interiors in partnership with Beth Webb of Beth Webb Interiors). It’s so serene, easy on the eye and comfortable.

2Modern, and one of my fetishes

Posted on Sun, 13 Jul 2008 by KiM

We have a great group of sponsors here at desire to inspire, and one that has been with us for a while is 2Modern. Their online store rocks, and I thought I would do a post on one of my fetishes, pillows, because they carry such a huge, amazing selection. (Although searching through their store might not have been a good idea, because it’s too easy to hit that “ADD TO CART” button!)

One of my favourite lines is by Plush Living. OMG! They are silk, which ups the sexy factor, and the patterns and colours are so hot. I would be tempted to decorate a whole bedroom around some of these.

Thomaspaul is always up there on my list of favourite patterns and I am in love with just about every pillow 2Modern carries from their line. Since I have a thing for peacock feathers, that one might be my favourite.

Koko‘s line of pillows have an ethnic vibe to them which I’m always drawn to. The colours are so pretty, and they have such unusual patterns. The rice pillows won me over.

So go on over and check out their site, and for those in the continental US, shipping is FREE!

Contemporary, classic, cool. Pretty much sums up the style of interior designers Rick Shaver and Lee Melahn.

More Sean Myers

Back in April Jo posted about photographer Sean Myers and mentionned a quirky home he had photographed. I hadn’t gone to his website to look at it, but recently happened upon it and OMG!!! It’s so fabulously vintage and thrifty and granny-chic that I had to post it.
