Charlotte Moss at the Boston Design Center
Jul 02 2013 ·5Last month Century Furniture hosted interior design celebrity Charlotte Moss at the Boston Design Center. Having recently heard her present at the Design Bloggers Conference in Los Angeles, I was very excited to hear her speak once again. Ms. Moss’ manner is a delightful blend of pure southern grace peppered with a dry sense of humor which means her presentations are not only full of information but also highly entertaining…

Diary of an Interior Designer: Cape Cod Seaside Home, Kitchen and Powder Room
May 29 2013 ·0It’s finally time to wrap up this huge project!
Like the family room, the kitchen is a gathering place for families. You may be curious about the Kitchen in this retreat home: how does it accommodate the large family, the guests and all the cooks? In this case, very well indeed. The existing footprint for this space was perfect, open to the Living Room and outfitted with updated cabinetry. With no major construction necessary, I was able to concentrate my design for the space on the cosmetic changes that allow the Kitchen to work in harmony with the rest of the home and the views beyond. That meant new tile, new light fixtures, and paint for nearly every surface. We also created a spacious eating nook in a space that was undersized for the proportions of the home…
Diary of an Interior Designer: Cape Cod Seaside Home, The Living Room
May 28 2013 ·0The Living Room is always the center of the home and a gathering place for family. It is a place to come together for celebrations, conversation and the making of memories. In this house the Living Room is literally and figuratively in the center of the home. The prime location means the space boasts breathtaking, panoramic views of the waterfront. This Living Room is also replete with character-building architectural details ~ which means we had another great starting point for our interior design. Come on in…

Diary of an Interior Designer: Cape Cod Seaside Home, Master Bedroom Suite
May 14 2013 ·0The Master Bedroom Suite, or Owner’s Retreat, is an increasingly popular space to lavish fabulous design on. To that point, Master Bedrooms are always among the most popular spaces in a Show House and clients are eager to have an interior designer work their magic in this space. The owners of this home were no exception.
This international couple wanted a soothing area away from the rest of the bedrooms. Well located on the first floor, just steps to the pool and with an inspiring ocean view, we had an ideal space to work with…
Diary of an Interior Designer: Cape Cod Seaside Home, The Guest Bedrooms
May 07 2013 ·1“The ornaments of your house will be the guests who frequent it”
~ Author Unknown
When we last checked in at our Cape Cod seaside home, I shared with you the transformation of the Children’s Suite. Well, this luxurious home boasts three additional guest rooms in the main house. Even though each bedroom has water views, we opted for a more sophisticated design that compliments the blue of the sky and the water with a reference to sand and seashells. Come take a peek…

Diary of an Interior Designer: Cape Cod Seaside Home, The Children’s Suite
May 01 2013 ·0At nearly every Designer’s Show House I’ve attended, the Children’s Room is always among the favorite spaces. Designing children’s spaces presents the opportunity to incorporate whimsical touches, plenty of color and to think like a child again ~ how grand! The Children’s Suite in the Cape Cod retreat seems to me the perfect place to start our tour…

A Welcoming Golden Foyer
Apr 09 2013 ·1As a designer, one of the most thrilling aspects of my job is seeing a space totally transformed. Sometimes we are charged with refreshing a space that has good bones both architecturally and design-wise (see The Blitz video of Gina’s Living Room). Other times, we are starting from scratch and take a space all the way from drab to fab. Today I have one such transformation to share with you…

Pamela's Posh Picks: Outdoor Rugs
Apr 06 2012 ·0Spring has officially arrived and now we here in New England can look forward to designing (and using!) our outdoor spaces. Whether you have a patio, a gazebo, a terrace or a deck, one of the best strategies as you begin envisioning your space is to start from the ground up. In that spirit, this week’s Posh Picks are a varied and fabulous selection of indoor/outdoor rugs.
Jaipur Rugs Barcelona Red/Orange
I love the red/orange color and geometric design of this fresh looking rug. It would pair seamlessly with West Indies inspired patio furniture: think dark stained wood and wicker with bright, coordinating cushions and accessories.
Trans Ocean Terrace Zebra Brown Indoor/Outdoor Rug
By now you know that I cannot pass up a chance to highlight nearly anything in an animal print! This sophisticated zebra inspired print would look great on a Bachelor Balcony. Sleek chaises in dark brown powder coated metal complete this sophisticated, masculine look.
Dash & Albert Woven Marina Stripe Indoor Outdoor Rug
This lively rug is both classic and durable. To me, this is Cape Cod style all the way. This would be beautiful on a patio with white furniture ~ how about a dining set with a complementary umbrella in a bold shade of green or blue?
Rug Market Resort Toulouse Blue Outdoor Rug
The Toulouse rug oozes romance. It would be perfectly at home on a terrace overlooking a perennial garden. I picture a Victorian white wicker chaise topped with hints of raspberry in the pillows and perhaps maybe even a parasol for shelter from the sun. Mmmmm, iced tea in this lovely ladies lounging area sounds delightful!
Koko Co. floormat, Optic in Pink/Red
Bold, hot & frisky describe this Koko Co. floormat. The bright and modern design would provide the perfect colorful pop in a gazebo or screened porch ~ so fun!
I just know that warmer temperatures will return and soon we’ll all be enjoying our outdoor spaces! Should you desire assistance designing or styling your outdoor space this year, do contact me ~ I’d love to collaborate with you!

Pamela
