All Shades Of Purple...

I'll admit it....  I have a hard time with purple.  It's not that I don't like the color... I do.  I just tend to think putting it somewhere permanently in my home is too much... too deep, too vibrant, too trendy.  I think, "Oh, I'll loathe it within the year".  Lately, however, I've changed my tune and recently I discovered one interior designer {Angie Hranowsky - one of Traditional Homes Top 20 designers to watch} who has proven that purple, lavender, and all shades in between can exist with sophistication and longevity...

I NEED IT!!!

Hubby & I have been lamenting over the fact that our old ping pong table suffered a major injury during our last move.  I've been meaning to research to find a replacement and look what I randomly run into as I'm ordering a tshirt online...  The absolute CHICEST ping pong table around...


The limited edition ping pong table designed by JAMES PERSE.  Yes, you read that right... James Perse.  Hand-crafted from environmentally farmed solid teak.  It combines playability with functionality - remove the net and cover with the optional teak table top to convert it into a dining or conference room... brilliant!!  I can just envision this baby providing hours of entertainment... kids, adults, tweeners... who doesn't love a great ping pong game {or beer pong game on a hot sunny day}?!?!

... and all the while I would stare at it lovingly...

Katie Ridder's "Attendants"...

I've been obsessing over this particular wallpaper for some time.  Where, oh where can I use it???  Could be fun in an entryway or power room...

Katie Ridder wallpaper collection - Attendants
{check out the entire wallpaper collection online}

In addition to designing fabulous wallpaper, this lady creates darn good interior spaces.  Lovely pairings of hip, sophistication... a few examples...








Rebel Traditionalist...

I've been obsessed with Ashley Stark ever since her New York apartment was featured in Domino magazine in 2006.  YES... 2006!  This space is a true testament to her collectively cool yet timeless style.  Five years later I'm sure she's switched the place around a bit {would die to get a peek!}.  Either way, I would happily move into the 2006 version..

2011 House Beautiful - Kitchen Of The Year

In collaboration with Tyler Florence.  Love the black cabinetry and mix of materials.  This is how you do black with a "timeless" touch vs. trendy.  Good stuff...
