South Shore Decorating Blog: September 2012

Rachel Reider is my newest design crush. She is so versatile and talented. And check out the orange bathroom walls with the hot pink flowers -- she's brave, too. I really admire that (and envy it a little). Have you heard of her before? I swear, sometimes I have my head stuck in the sand, so she may be really famous and I am just now "discovering her." Either way, I hope you enjoy her work!

I just used this rug below in a client's house, and it is GORGEOUS (Thomas O'Brien for Safavieh). (There is also a copy of it for a lot less in my sidebar under Recommended Products that is really nice, too)...

My all time favorite manufacturer is back today - Currey and Company on Joss & Main!!

Lighting IS everything. I did a post on pink bathrooms recently, and you wonderful loyal readers, who couldn't think of anything else nice to say about pink, said "Everyone looks good in pink." LOVE IT!! Well, those comments made me think of candlelight because everyone looks good in it ... isn't it funny how blog posts come to be? So here are some of my favorite candlelit rooms:

Martha Stewart and her team ~~tick me off with their effortless creativity~~ amaze me. Look how cute the candles in the open shells are (below)! I love this idea, and just may have to go to the beach to look for some big, perfectly formed, completely intact shells.

And when I don't find any, I'll have to head on over to Michael's for them :)

Holy moly...this is gorgeous! I was thinking this could be recreated in my own yard after a heavy rain when everything is wet and glistening. Ok, it'll never happen, but it COULD:

In. Love.....

Again, I have no idea who has time for this...maybe it's for a movie or a magazine.... but what a gorgeous photo! I wonder if someone had to swim out and collect them all:
