POW! don’t be a wimp with those bold colors.
If you are going to go for it…. go for it, because it’s all about “the tude”. All be it, pink is one of my least favorite colors, I respect and appreciate the use of it in this space. And as always a Parsons table can easily persuade me even more. Choose wisely where you decide to give those punches of colors, highlighting areas and objects keeping their proportions in the overall room and to each other in mind.
We love the work of Brooklyn-based Mark McGinnis. His works are often thought-provoking and yet sometime fun at the same time. Mark’s clients range from Leo Burnett, Arc, P&G for advertising to New York Times, Business Week, and Harvard Business Review for editorial illustrations/designs to his personal projects in printmaking.

keeping it neutral
Especially when you have a view like this, it would be a shame to distract. This room steals my heart, a sunken living room, chunky end tables, perfectly planned texturse and the sexiest sky light…… Yes Please.
Check out progress from one of our design clients! This beautiful house is in Colorado and presents quite the expansive challenge. Flooring texture, statement light fixtures, and lots of white! Check back to see how it goes, as well as the other random bits of inspiration. No one was more surprised than us to discover these incredible moths as design reference! You just never know when – or how – it’s going to hit do you?

Now we are talking. A hammock inside.
Why not have a hammock in your living room, if you have the space? The perfect place to perch and read a book or take a nap. Perfect proportions between the high ceilings and the low furniture, only to be vertically intersected with trees = brilliant.
