I had to share another pretty as a peach home designed by Sarah Vanrenen. Soft greens and blues and yellows, and abundance of patterns – all so welcoming.

This San Francisco Victorian had a prior life as a somewhat neglected rental unit. Our clients felt compelled to rescue it and make it their Bay Area home base. We were fortunate enough to be asked to collaborate on this project, giving the space new life. Upgrades in the spaces were a must. However, all changes were done with thoughtfulness and with an eye towards not only practical changes, but ensuring a dusting of design magic throughout this new home. Forgoing neutral colors, we went bold and bright throughout. I really love the shades of blue and green and fun wallpapers and tile used in this home designed by Banner Day Interiors.

This Notting Hill apartment designed by Vanrenen GW Designs is a bit of a modern approach to classic English style with the prettiest shades of pink, blue, green and yellow. So many beautiful patterns too. I’ve taken to spending what little free time I have scouring Etsy for any patterned textiles. I’m obsessed 🙂

Our clients live in a charming but small house, so when the opportunity to buy the place next door arrived, they gladly bought the house and dedicated it to hospitality and art. Built in the 1980s, the interiors were filled with elaborate moldings and wallpaper. We simplified the rooms, channeling the spirit of early American architecture with some later Arts and Crafts details. The ground floor rooms are designed for the display of art and for entertaining, with guest rooms upstairs. The decoration reflects the philosophy of Jayne Design Studio: that great design is often a combination of the old and new– or as we often phase it: ancient and modern. We forged a connection between the back hall and the upstairs rooms by cutting a hole in the exterior wall and disguising it with a wardrobe – an ode to the homeowner’s fascination with mythology and The Chronicles of Narnia.
Love the bold use of colour, the eclectic vibe and the elements of whimsy throughout.

What do you get when you mix a grandmillennial sensibility with a riot of colour? Not your grandmother’s parlour that’s for sure. Fresh, fun and packed with personality this Dallas home by Meredith Ellis Design celebrates the past but brings it into the present with relaxed, modern family living.
