cute condo ...part two

As promised...

here is part two of the cute condo tour.

The unit is only a one bedroom,

but size doesn't matter!

It's so beautifully beachy

with a touch of classic elegance.

 

 

The color of the driftwood toned hardwood floors is reiterated throughout the room. The top of the bedside tables...

 

The pattern and the colors of the accent pillows, mirrors the palette of the living and dining areas.

 

The inspiration is truly the surroundings...

...the Gulf of Mexico...

There are no better accessories

than the ones made by Mother Nature.

 

 

Every bedroom needs to have an area for reading, dressing or simply daydreaming. 

 

Lighting is also important in bedrooms.

Candlelight is always in style...

 

The sunlight streaming through the windows highlights the incredible treasures from the sea.

 

I would like to think that if a mermaid needed a home on land, this just might be her choice!

 

 

Thanks for taking the tour...



cute condo...part one

With summer coming to an end, we shift our attention to the approaching autumnal season. I thought I would share a condo I designed as a model for a lovely complex near Sanibel Island. I don't know if I was subconsciously missing home, but once it was finished I could clearly see hints of a fall color palette straight out of the hills of West Virginia.

 

 

It's fun and funky...

 

When decorating small spaces,

I think it's important to keep the accessories

to a select few special items

like this blown glass vase.  

 

Mixing old with new, hard lines with soft furnishings and unexpected touches (like river stones in a lamp) create unique and interesting spaces.

 

Repurposed old wooden shutters were used to make this amazing storage console table.

 

It is also a good idea to have a balance...

symmetry is key for rooms that don't have a lot of square footage.

 

Open concept floor plans allow for additional seating...

 

...that can be used in the living area

when company arrives.

 

A simple yet elegant table setting can be enjoyed every day or for special occasions.

 

Even though a fall color scheme is pretty clear, it does seem to mesh the best of northern and southern colors. It was a fun project. I will share the rest of the images in part two of this little condo tour. Thanks for visiting! I really appreciate it.
