Art + Room: Black and white abstracts. In preparation for Memorial Day, I am tying up a few loose ends here and there before I head down to Palm Beach…particularly with my clients and their accessorizing needs. Even my own apartment, which is being prepared to shoot, needs some final touches. A big something missing is perfect artwork… As much as I love color, my most favorite look has always been the chic paintings done in abstract black and white. There is something about it thats very modern and very chic. I don’t care how traditional you want to go in your space or how boho, abstract art looks good anywhere. If you are anything like me, then you believe in high contrast and its impact.
The great thing about this particular look is that it goes well in a loud colorful + oh so vibrant dining area… or even the most peaceful + simple bedroom. images via lonny mag, daydreams, hellosukio. THE HAMPTONS and MORE. This Memorial Day, I am feeling like super recharged and ready. I’m excited for summer and I have lots of things coming up to look forward to, new work projects, lots of travel and even new hobbies that I have taken on. I’m feeling like the second half of the year is all about MORE. Which is why I wasn’t surprised how fabulous this living room shot was for me. A mirror in More…hello! I love The Hamptons, especially the big beautiful homes with outdoor spreads that you just could never even imagine in the city.
1 black and white rug… 4 ways. This black and white rug is an oldie but such a goodie… Lately, I have been thinking about putting this rug in my living room. I love high contrast black and white, but I want something with movement and my chevron rug bores me. I got rid of that and opened my living room up for something new.
I am even considering a little color on the wall. Life is just so much more fun when you constantly change things up. It looks good in almost every style, no? The beauty room… Oh, the magic of a feminine room thats all about beauty… It’s probably one of my favorite rooms in a home.
There is nothing like getting ready in a beautifully decorated space that just makes you feel good. Making grey work… The Decorista The Decorista making grey work… August 29, 2013 I am about to do a fun project with Valspar paints and I am in serious need of some inspiration… I have also been trying to convince my family how chic grey can be.
I have always thought grey + white is one of the most glamorous combos. For a little mix of femininity, I really love this look for a guest bedroom. In the fall, I especially love the warmer shades of grey.

This week has been a nice week back in the city. The fall weather went from muggy to absolute perfection. This is about the time when fires start getting lit and cocktail hour at home swings back into action. How adorable is this little bar area… 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Pepper Design Blog » Blog Archive Living Room Update: Fiddle Leaf Figs for a Steal of a Deal » Pepper Design Blog. I think that all of the design world might be in love with fiddle leaf figs.
I’ll admit that when I watched Design Star Season 5 (the one and only season I’ve had the chance to tune into) and saw Emily Henderson’s white box challenge (I think that that’s what this episode was?) I was immediately in love with that magical tree. And I didn’t know it was a worldwide fad, or at least that is was about to be shortly. It’s that one there in the back corner. So structural, so green, so pretty. Pepper Design Blog » Blog Archive Kitchen Makeover: Inspiration for the Pantry » Pepper Design Blog.
There is one last little nook in our den-to-kitchen space that is yet to be finished… From the perspective of the office (or the front of our kitchen), the kitchen looks pretty complete.
Especially considering that it started out as a den (wood paneling and all) five years ago. But if you were to look to the right of this space, you’d see a clear glass door that looks like this: Harmless at first glance, but if you open it up you’ll find a half complete shelf space lined with random cleaning supplies, dog gear and bulk paper towels from Costco. I keep waiting for it to be finished finished before filling it with food and using it as intended. It has plans to one day be a fabulous pantry, one of those organized, pretty pantries that come complete with labeled shelves and cute baskets and bins sorted by type of canned veggie.
But on the bright side, at least it’s not here anymore! Kevin insisted upon a clear glass door while I suggested we frost it. Image 1 & 2 Image 3 & 4.
