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…
Pamela’s Posh Picks: Hot Seats from Janus et Cie
May 02 2013 ·0It’s been a beautiful stretch of weather here in the Boston area which means I’m spending more and more time outside on my terrace. While I love all of my current outdoor seating, I can’t help but take a peek at the offerings from my favorite source for outdoor furniture: Janus et Cie. Janus et Cie is the premiere resource for outfitting your deck, terrace or patio. Their designs are contemporary, elegant, and…hot!

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…
Pamela’s Posh Picks: Brizo Kitchen Faucets
Apr 25 2013 ·2During a renovation, particularly a kitchen project, both the client and interior designer invest a huge amount of time in making choices for the space. Cabinetry, flooring, appliances, textiles, pulls and knobs ~ the list goes on and on. One of the final details to be selected for a kitchen is often the faucet. While it can be tempting to skimp in this area, both in consideration and budget, I urge you not to. A faucet, whether SmartTouch or traditional, is a tactile element and can literally improve the quality of life of those who use it regularly by making mundane tasks easier and more beautiful. If you are planning a kitchen renovation, strongly consider making your faucet a featured design element ~ you won’t regret it!
This week’s Posh Picks are faucets from my favorite manufacturer: Brizo. No one combines form and function more beautifully than Brizo…
Pansies
Apr 24 2013 ·1Recently I visited a nursery while on the hunt for flowers to fill my terrace planters. As it seems I am every year, I was struck by the color and variety of the pansies. Pansies truly are the star of Early Spring and their beauty and perseverance seem appropriate for today as sunshine returns to our skies and people return to Boylston Street in Boston…
Posh Pinterest Board of the Week: Someone’s In the Kitchen…
Apr 22 2013 ·0They say the kitchen is the heart of the home. While this is surely true, I would also say the kitchen is a place to embrace color and sparkle. No need to cower to builder’s oak cabinets and plain white walls, let your kitchen show some personality! This week’s Posh Pinterest board, my Someone’s In the Kitchen, features plenty of fabulous, colorful, and of course posh, kitchens.
Here are a few of my favorites…
Pamela’s Posh Picks: Outdoor Planters
Apr 18 2013 ·2As Spring progresses, my terrace garden is beginning to reawaken with color and blooms. I have several containers that I use year after year but I am always looking to add to my collection. This week’s Posh Picks feature some fabulous options for Outdoor Planters if you’re looking to add some interest to your outdoor space. Unlike in the past, today’s outdoor planters are constructed using materials that are much more durable and weigh much less ~ a winning combination for sure!…
Spring Inspiration at Anthropologie
Apr 17 2013 ·0{Boston.com has put together an excellent list of ways you can help victims of Monday’s horrific events here in Boston}
Last week I was a guest speaker at Quincy College in a Design Program seminar. One of the questions that was asked was: “Where do you get your inspiration?”
The answer is simple: EVERYWHERE…
I don’t mean to sound coy, but if you learn how to see and use your senses to absorb your surroundings, it truly is…

Posh Pinterest Board: The Light Fantastic
Mar 18 2013 ·1We have an exciting new feature to bring you later this week, so we’re mixing things up a bit with the weekly features. Today we’re highlighting one of my favorite Pinterest boards: The Light Fantastic.
I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it again: I love lighting! Maybe it’s the way a fabulous fixture makes the light glitter like diamonds. Or maybe it’s the way lighting sets the mood for a space. Perhaps it’s because my favorite light fixtures are sparkly and glamorous, reminding me of stars in the night sky. Aaah, the romance of it all…

Pamela’s Posh Picks: BeeLine Home by Bunny Williams
Oct 26 2012 ·0This week I had the privilege of hearing the one and only Bunny Williams speak at the Boston Design Center. Her new furniture and accessories line, BeeLine Home, is being stocked by the Lee Jofa showroom at BDC. In the words of Showroom Manager Bill Elinoff, Bunny Williams is “iconic, energetic, and inspirational”. Her new line is certainly reflective of these qualities!

Alice in…the Boston Design Center?!
Jul 25 2012 ·0“Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
~Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
I believe I fell down a rabbit hole when I entered the Boston Design Center last week! Right there before my very eyes in the windows of the Martin Group showroom were all the Alice in Wonderland characters dressed to the nines in Samuel and Sons trimmings!
Here is where the story begins…
Tweedledee and Tweedledum never looked so dapper!
I just love the detail of the ball fringe, so clever!
The Queen of Hearts is looking exceptionally posh in her opulent regalia:
And really, aren’t there days when your inner diva just wants to say, “Off with Her Head”??
Oh, to be able to wear such finery and be a tyrant…bliss!
Meanwhile, Alice seems to be feeling a bit odd:
Alice (via creator Geoff Howell Studio Inc.)
The details on her dress however are nothing but stunning!
Here is the ever unshakably mellow caterpillar who gives Alice sage advice, all while bedecked in his lovely green garb…
And for a close up:
So many gorgeous trims!
Just think of all the possibilities with these amazing pieces of passementerie! Wonderful pillows, shams, duvets, leading edges on draperies and upholstery, and table skirts just to name a few~ oh my! These exquisite tassels, trims, beads, tapes, ropes are just waiting to bejewel your home decor and with the right designer, that is not impossible at all!
