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…

Posh Pinterest Board of the Week: The City That Never Sleeps
May 20 2013 ·2This week BlogFest 2013 is taking place in NYC. I was planning to attend, but unfortunately I am unable to. However, that won’t stop me from thinking about all my wonderful friends who are there ~ girls, I’ll see you next time!
With BlogFest and NYC on my mind, it’s only natural that this week’s Posh Pinterest board features none other than New York City ~ my board: The City That Never Sleeps!
Here are a few of my favorite pins highlighting a few of my favorite things about this amazing city…

Pamela’s Posh Picks: Serena & Lily Sheets
May 16 2013 ·0This week’s Posh Picks features luxurious sheet pairings from Serena & Lily. I just adore Serena & Lily sheets ~ not only are they uber soft and comfortable, but the quality is terrific and the packaging (a wonderful drawstring bag that I will re-use for packing shoes when I travel) is adorable! While you can of course select your favorite pattern and purchase a complete sheet set, I prefer to mix and match patterns and colors for a more customized, colorful look.
Take a look at this week’s Posh Picks: chic Serena & Lily sheet pairings!…
Diary of an Interior Designer: Cape Cod Seaside Home, The Dining Room
May 15 2013 ·1One of the best parts of having a spacious home with room for family and friends is sharing a meal. The Dining Room at our Cape Cod home is the perfect spot with room for everyone.
While I don’t have any before pictures to share, this room started off like so many of the other spaces in this home: a blank slate with lots of windows and a great water view. Once again we selected a color palette that would echo the landscape outside: sun, sea, sky and sand ~ with bright pops of color of course!…
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…
Posh Pinterest Board of the Week: Princess & the Pea Bedding
May 13 2013 ·2As you may recall, I Love My Bed, so it’s no surprise that I love luxurious, sumptuous bedding. What’s more inviting than a beautiful bed, piled high with pillows and well-appointed linens? This week’s Posh Pinterest board is my very own Princess & the Pea Bedding board which features a wide variety of amazing bed and bedding ideas.
Take a peek at a few of my favorites…
Pamela’s Posh Picks: Desks
May 09 2013 ·1Yesterday I shared the Home Office of the amazing Cape Cod seaside home I’ve been featuring. We were fortunate to have an existing wall of built-ins, including a desk, in the room when we started the design process. Of course this isn’t always the case. A desk is the workhorse of any workspace and a key opportunity to marry beauty and function. Let’s take a peek at this week’s Posh Picks for Desks…
Diary of an Interior Designer: Cape Cod Seaside Home, Office, Foyer & Family Room
May 08 2013 ·1Continuing on with our tour of this lovely seaside home, today’s first stop is the Office. Located off the main Foyer, the Office is tucked behind French doors and is just far enough removed from the rest of the house to offer a quiet space to attend to business responsibilities.
This is the bland space that I viewed the first time I toured the house, rather sterile and not very inviting…
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!
Here are this week’s Posh Picks for Hot Seats…

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…
Diary of an Interior Designer: Seaside Home, Cape Cod, Part One
Apr 30 2013 ·1One of the luxuries of sharing a completed project is the ability to reflect and share the story behind the design: the ups and downs, the twists and turns and the knowledge that it all turned out beautifully in the end. As an interior designer my job is much like that of the Fairy Godmother in the story of Cinderella ~ I transform the drab to fab. As you will see however, it is not always as easy as waving a wand and saying ‘bibbity-bobbity-boo’. However, the end result is always magical…

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…
