Take a look at this gorgeous bedroom designed Margot Austin. You can check out my previous post on her here (that’s when I fell in love with her design style). This bedroom is light blue with white and lilac:

*

The silver flowers are cute.

*

A beautiful antique turquoise dresser serves as a nightstand.

*

The cozy seating area with two white chairs, an ottoman and a mimosa yellow table.  Colorful!

*

A cozy corner for working. Check out that office chair, is it some kind of slipcover? I want one! –> Okay, I figured it out. I think the cover is specially sewn for the chair, as it is the same fabric as the throw pillows in the former pic! DIY idea?

This post is for lovely reader Ashley who is on a quest to find the colors used on three of her favorite rooms. I do not have access to the exact colors used in each room pictured on this site, but lets try nonetheless! The colors picked out is a happy medium of the colors in each picture, because the lighting and shadows greatly affect the color perception.

So, lets go!

I am absolutely enamoured with this home designed by Janie Hirsch:

*

Light blue and white living room with sisal rug. Look at all the classic furniture pieces and beautiful artwork. Janie definitely use contrasts to add depth to a room.

*

Janie is a real talent when it comes to lighting, notice how all the artworks are illuminated in a way that they stand out as individual pieces, and at the same time binds the room together. This is very well illustrated in the top pic too.

*

It is so impressing to me when a home is designed in one simple color theme, like here with light blue and white, and yet all the rooms are so different. Behind the living room you can see the kitchen and dining area. See how the different curtains separates the room into two “zones”.

*

Just gorgeous! That ceiling lamp is so pretty with the beads on the cable.

*

Divine dining room with sheer brown curtains. Notice how Janie always hangs the curtains immediately under the ceiling, emphasizing the height of the room. Also, she often opt for two chandeliers over a dining table instead of one, that way you can decorate the wall behind with a large mirror or painting, and use one tall centerpiece on the dining table. The beams on the ceiling adds a third dimention to this room, read this great article about it on Things That Inspire!!

*

Going for black cabinets in the kitchen is such a bold and creative choise!

*

The focal point of this bedroom is definitely the super tall padded headboard.

*

Stunning bathroom with more than enough lighting. I love how she mounted the sconces on the mirror! Not everyone has artwork overt the tub either.

*

Since I’m her biggest fan, here are more divine design by Phoebe Howard!!!

*

Powder blue and white bedroom with dark wood furniture. Love the classic rocking chair and the beautiful canopy bed!

*

This is just perfect!

*

Is it possible to be stressed out in this super-calm room?

*

Could this bathroom be more perfect? Only Mrs. Howard would think of placing the tub out from the wall like this!

*

Here is a cozy nook for dining and entertaining.
