While Kelly Brown's garden room was most definitely my favorite space in the house, two adjacent rooms were also high up there for me. These spaces, and a few other details that caught my eye, are featured below...
Butler's Pantry by Leslie Stephens: A pretty traditional space, which I don't typically go for. But this one featured some innovative ideas and updated materials -- and a gorgeous and soothing color palette that I completely flipped for. (Unfortunately, the photos don't accurately depict the colors.) And what pottery lover wouldn't love a butler's pantry of her own? What completely sold me, though, were the roman blinds made from burlap. I had just recently bought many yards of the stuff myself to make some curtains for our spare room upstairs, so of course I thought this was a brilliant idea on Leslie's part!
Kitchen by John Goerge: I was only able to dig up one photo of this space online (courtesy of Kandrac & Kole Interior Designs), and unfortunately it doesn't do it justice. (But hey, it's way better than what I have, which is nothing!) This warm and personality-filled kitchen was a fabulous blend of old and new, incorporating salvaged fixtures and materials from other settings (courtesy of Caravati's Architectural Salvage -- a fun place to spend an afternoon!) while also using clever approaches for updating the existing cabinetry.
Other Details: I was quite keen on this Fromental "Willow" wallpaper that served as an Art Deco inspired backdrop for the lady's dressing room designed by Kate Oliver. (For those of us who are not fans of the pink family, it also comes in a variety of other great color schemes.) I also fell for the painted ceiling in the home office designed by Ellen Norris. And Alyson Stinson and Carmela Wengraitis designed a gentleman's bath that incorporated some Asian-inspired elements I really enjoyed, but unfortunately I can't find a single photo online.
