I really loved the laid back approachability of Kerri Russell’s Brooklyn home as shown in the current Elle Decor. Not only is the raw space amazing (are you SEEING that molding in the living room?) but also the fact that she mixed goods from high end showrooms (like those insane Ochre chandeliers I would murder for) with stuff hand made by her husband from wood reclaimed from barns and dumpsters! I’ve been saying for months that if I finally do buy my home, I am doing everything in white, black, grey and natural wood. A clean, crisp but relaxing scheme that will give me respite from my days spent with dizzying pattern and color. This home is such an inspiration for me!
The images of her home (and the resource lists) reminded me of my trip to ABC Carpet and Home during Blogfest. If I had a gun to my head and had to decide on one place to decorate my house right now I’d pick ABC (and then I’d ninja kick whomever was decor-assaulting me). Seriously, ABC is my version of Mecca and if you haven’t gone you really, really must make a pilgrimage!
A snapped just a couple things while there…like this amazing venetian glass chandelier that was the lightest of blues (and $10k)
And this beyond fabulous John Derian bench with small back and this dining table I would sell my soul for…
A nice collection of cloche jars and stone accents…
Beakers and drawers…
Such an amazing color combo- navy, blush,taupe and cream. Inspired to design a room around this…
GOLD flatware, how I love thee….
How about these pink chairs up in Madeline Weinrib’s showroom? Uh-huh.
Here’s some of my favorite things shown on their website:
