Inside Tastemaker Melanie Duncan's NYC Home

The latest issue of Rue features the glamorous New York City home of Melanie Duncan, and I am positively smitten. Melanie is the owner of Custom Greek Threads and Luxury Monograms. Just wait until you see the chairs she had embroidered with her family crest! And those inky black walls and gilt ceiling, ooh la la!  Let's take a look inside...

J’adore Jackie Armour

Many of my favorite interior designers are based (or have offices) in Florida – Celerie Kemble and her mother Mimi McMakin, Carleton Varney, Scott Snyder, Susan Kroeger – just to name a few. I was recently introduced to the work of Jackie Armour, and she is the latest addition to my list of fabulous Florida favorites.  Let’s take a look at some of Jackie's work…

My Dream Pink Dining Room

To say that pink is my favorite color would be an understatement... I absolutely am obsessed with pink! It is such a fun, fresh, and feminine color, and it always makes me happy. :)

I am also crazy about pink dining rooms, which I blogged about here, and equally obsessed with handpainted Chinoiserie wallpaper by de Gournay, Gracie, Griffin & Wong, etc. So you can imagine my delight when I found this delicious pink Palm Beach Chic dining room today via Pinterest...

This dining room by W Design Interiors (located in Naples, FL and Cleveland, OH) is the doppelganger to the exquisite pink dining room I've blogged about numerous times, located in Boca Grande, FL. This is the image that started my pink dining room obsession...

Aren't both of these dining rooms just gorgeous?  I cannot pick which one I like best!

I Heart Jan Showers

I just saw this image Jan Showers posted on her Facebook page, and it stopped me in my tracks...

I recently blogged here about my complete obsession with Jan Shower's work. I've spent countless hours poring over every detail of each of her projects, so my heart went aflutter as I had not seen this swoon-worthy bedroom before. I immediately went to her website to see if she had some new projects posted. Oh, I was in for a delight! Jan has several new projects posted, my favorite of which is located in Pemberton Heights, Austin, TX.  Just wait until you see this amazing home (and more shots of that dreamy bedroom)!

 

 

 

 

 

After looking at this dream home, I am actually speachless... It is too glamorous and gorgeous for words! Here are a few more images I adore from Jan's recent project in Tulsa...

 

 

And Jan went "rustic chic" with this Texas ranch house... I love the Stark Antelope rug!
