Week 4- In the Details

Today, I'm sharing a few of my major selections with you but first, check this out...

When designing a space for myself or our clients, it's important to keep in mind that form and function are both extremely important.  We often begin with the larger impact pieces and build from there.  Let's check some of those out!

ART

The art drove the color scheme for the space so let's begin here.  This maroon and blush abstract caught my eye at High Point Market a year ago and had remained in my camera roll ever since. I love the warmth and femininity of this piece and seemed the perfect jumping off point for my design.  It's called "In Thought" from Wendover Art and I think it'll be the perfect focal point in the living space.  

SOFA/SECTIONAL

For this home, I knew I wanted to lean in to comfort with a sectional.  I loved the Wesley Hall Peretti Sectional the moment I saw it on the showroom floor.  I'm sitting on it HERE in this video.  It's a bit of a departure from the sofa at my primary residence and leans a little more modern than my typical.  We've opted for it in a beautiful berry velvet that will definitely up the glam factor.  

The bumper chaise option provides a great alternative to a traditional sofa chaise because the additional seat-back functions as a seat and a chaise.  

LIGHTING

I wanted to intentionally add elements that spoke to the environment.  This Forest Chandelier from Currey and Company stuck just the right note providing a glamorous, yet rustic vibe all at once.

DINING TABLE

This Murdock dining table has been on my mind since I first saw my friends from Dowel Furniture and their licensee Mally Skok debut it at High Point Market in 2018.  I love the rich wood finish and the scalloped edge. The length is customizable and it's going to be just what the

dining space in my project needs.  

DINING CHAIR

I've been a fan of Designmaster Furniture since using them in my own home for the last ORC.  Since then, we've placed them in several homes and they NEVER disappoint.  I love the metal finish on the legs of this Richfield Side Chair.

CORNER CABINET

I felt the need to add a bar in the space and this Highland House corner cabinet is just perfection.  The idea of having a cabinet tucked nicely in a corner is genius and I'm obsessed with the finish on this one. 

SETTEE

Lastly, using my own piece from the Belle by Cheryl Luckett collection for Sylvester Alexander is a no-brainer at this point.  The Cumberland is a classic wingback settee and adds just the right amount of tradition to the space.  Stay tuned to see the fabric selection on this one.  

Next week is the BIG week, so be sure to check back on Wednesday.   Until then, be sure to check out the other featured designers who are participating.
