The master bedroom is soothing and warm with much light.  I appreciate the use of space with the banquette and love the pedestal table.

Green Interiors

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Living Room Interior

I’m getting into the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day with a few interiors that feature the gorgeous hue green. Even though it was last years color of the year it will always be a favorite of mine. This regal color is a forever classic in my book.

Dining Room Interior

You can incorporate a strong color like the green above into a space without it over powering a room.  The statement chairs give personality to this dining room while the other items remain quiet.
