Marvelous in Manhattan!!

This Manhattan apartment is only 800 square feet but you would never guess it while flipping through these pictures! There is so much color, so many great prints, fantastic art pieces and such fabulous furniture. Designer, Ashley Whittaker,  didn't let the small size of this space keep her from treating it like a penthouse. Those wallpapers! Love it all.

Full of Whimsy in Tuxedo Park!

What happens when you let go and really let the fun and imagination flow in your home decor? This Tuxedo Park home, that's what! Designer, Jeffrey Bilhuber, wasn't afraid to use colors, prints, textures, rug layering, funky pieces (a ship chandelier) and even umbrellas! Now, I know that this sort of eccentricity isn't for everyone but it works for the owners of this unique New York home. Take a peek.

Gorgeous in Greenwich

Elle Decor never disappoints me with the homes that they feature. This weekend home in Greenwich, Connecticut (interior design by Thom Filicia) is so lovely. Each room has a distinct look and Thom made great use of earth tones, eye-catching prints and beautiful antique furniture. There is a relaxed sophistication to the decor, so put together but still looks comfortable. Perfect combo.

Grand Entrance!

Past the front door, the entryway is the first spot your guests experience when they visit your home. What do you want that first impression to look like? Whether yours is just a small hall space or a medium size room, don't overlook it. The entry is a chance for you to give a decorative glimpse of the rest of the house. Here are some inspiring entryway pics!

I love everything about this entryway!! The wallpaper, the light, the colors and it's so roomy!

Just one wall. They could have left it naked but this looks is so much more complete and fabulous! Our Regiment Suitcase Stack Chest would look great here!

Gorgeous in Georgia!!

Prints, color and fabulous textiles abound in this beautiful Athens, Georgia home!! The house belongs to textile designer/artist, Susan Hable Smith, and her family. I have never seen SO many different prints and color and lines and designs work so well in one place!! I absolutely adore their home. Some rooms are pretty tame compared to others but I love the mix of bright and playful with calm and relaxing. Thank you, Elle Decor, for sharing!!

Tear Off Wallpaper!!

Have you ever wanted to design your own wallpaper?? The "Tear Off" Wallpaper by ZNAK gets you pretty close to making that dream come true. Each panel of this wallpaper is perforated with squiggly designs that you can peel off to create whatever pattern you like. I love the idea of painting the wall first and then applying the wallpaper!! You'll see what I mean.

Designer Visions Showhouse - Elle Decor

This year, Elle Decor took part in Hearst's 6th Annual - Designer Visions - The 48 Hour Film Project. House Beautiful and Veranda did as well. (we will show you those two tomorrow and the day after)

The Elle Decor showhouse was designed by Matthew Patrick Smyth. He took a former warehouse and turned it into a beautiful space full of texture, eye catching prints and character. Once finished, this "home" (as well as the spaces from House Beautiful and Veranda) was offered as an option to 6 teams of filmmakers to use as the set for their film project. They were given one week to create a start to finish complete short film.

Here are the photos from Matthew Patrick Smyth's design. The wallpaper in the dining area is FABULOUS!!
