Classic Carrara.

Monday, January 3rd, 2011

 

There aren’t a lot of building materials out there that can do what Carrara Marble can for a home.  It is classic, contemporary, glamourous, sophisticated…it can even go country chic.  With so many sizes and shapes to choose from (including large slabs), the possibilities are endless.  A good interior designer can get you exactly where you want to be using this material, no matter what your style, and Austin, Texas has an abundance of resources who carry Carrara.

A Room With a View

Outdoor rooms are great, especially with the weather in Austin, Texas.  The surroundings provide most of the decor, so all one has to do is set up a compfortable place to sit and enjoy what nature has already provided…of course, accent lighting and just the right splashes of color through proper fabric selection does go a long way.

 

Gathering Place…

Monday, December 27th, 2010

 

Kitchens are one of the most important places in a home for interior designers to personalize for people.  It is where we spend much of our time throughout the day, thus making it a gathering place for family and friends.  It is important that it is both aesthetically pleasing, as well as sizable enough to house people, other than the cook, allowing the chef room to move about.  Austin has some great kitchen resources, especially when it comes to unique tile and fine cabinetry.  This kitchen is great for everyday living, as well as entertaining.  There is plenty of room to cook and socialize, which is how most families live. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sophisticated White…

Wednesday, December 8th, 2010

 

What we love about the villa below is the simple sophistication in its interior design.  White walls create a light and airy feel that compliments the rich hardwood floors.   The soft walls  also create a great backdrop for “statement art” to really pop, and they also allow the vast windows to do what they are meant to do:  bring in natural light and allow the natural surroundings to create focal points, rather than distract the eye. 

A Great Room in Portland…

What we love about this Great Room is its large scale and open view…not to mention the floor to ceiling copper fireplace.  A bridge leads you from the front doors to the large living area, which is open to the kitchen and dining areas.  The vast windows eliminate the need for much in the way of art, as the natural surroundings and the interesting elements within the home have become the focal points of the interior design.

Nature Home

Thursday, November 4th, 2010

What I love about this interior is its natural surroundings.  This home could easily be in Austin, Texas, surrounded by rolling hills and water.  The natural materials which are used both inside and out add to an easy, but sophisticated lifestyle.  The open architecture and design also provides terrific function, combining music, dining, and leisure livability.
