Lisa Sherry Interieurs

Did you have a chance to browse the most recent issue of Lonny this past weekend?  I did and fell in love with Lisa Sherry's home in Charlotte.  I adored her entryway with the lime green front door and the round metal table with the huge metallic vase.  I decided to browse her portfolio and wasn't disappointed.  She is super talented!

This is a home in Charlotte she designed and I loved every detail of it.  

More of the same home.  See  here. 

To see more of her designs, go here and she has a great blog too!!  

Current Crush: Modern Lighting

I hope everyone had a safe and relaxing labor day weekend!  These days I find myself crushing on traditional interiors layered with modern light fixtures.  I think it adds the perfect amount of juxtaposition and is a great way to infuse a mix of styles.

Here is an example of one of Lindsey Adelman's bubble light fixtures.  I love the geometrical shapes and the contrast it creates in this traditional entry way.  It is so unexpected which I love.  On a side note, I would love to see a persian rug in this entry way!

Another example of Lindsey's fixture used in Carrie and Big's apartment in the movie, Sex in the City 2.  I really like the idea of using something unexpected like this in the entry way to tell visitors they're in for a real treat when they come into your home.  

Here is a shot of Laura Day's living room in her Madison Avenue apartment.  I love her floor lamp to the left of the traditional english roll arm sofa.  It keeps things interesting and edgy.  

Look closely, but I like how Ashley Putman used a modern DWR fixture in her entry way which is surrounded by such classical and timeless pieces.  

In one of my favorite kitchens, Sasha Seymour uses a retro light fixture above the fireplace which looks amazing with the brass hardware.  She got her light from zig zag - mod furnishings!  Awesome retroesque lighting at affordable prices!

So, do you like this look?  Or is it just me?

Switcheroo...

I totally planned to post my before and after pictures of our bathroom today, but I'm going to have to do it tomorrow.  I'm in such a rush this morning - I'm sorry.  In the meantime, I realized I never posted some updates to our family/living room.  This is last the picture I posted:

After:

This is now.  I love my target lamps with the gray shades and my zig zag pillow with the chiang mai pillow.  I think the chaing mai pillow has seen better days - my son beats on those pillows non-stop! :)  I promise to post more pictures soon of our living/family room....
