CLEVER DESIGN ONE ROOM AT A TIME!

August 5, 2010

Dining room with whimsical chandelier and striped chairs with a notch on the top
A fanciful chandelier and striped chairs with a notch on the top make for a lovely modern dining room in this home outside of the city. (above)

Adore these rooms by New York interior designer Ellen Hamilton of Hamilton Design Associates. All show the designer’s versatile knack for taking on projects as her website says “one room at a time”. I like the fact that all of these spaces feel fresh and unique…not cookie cutter at all!

Kitchen with counter stools with a cut out on top, glass globe pendant lights hung at different heights, stainless appliances and blue tile backsplash
This kitchen is from the same home as the dining room above…it too features counter stools with a cut out on top and great glass globe pendants hung at staggered heights. (above)

Dressing room with blue curtains to hide storage and closet space and molded ceiling
Love this luxe looking little dressing room with its grand blue curtains that hide storage and closet space. (above)

Bedroom with upholstered doors and light painted "tile" on the wall
I first noticed the upholstered doors on either side of the entry of this bedroom. Cool! (above)

Two story living room with raised pyramid paneling and modern chandeliers
A two story modern living room features raised pyramid like paneling. (above)

I like the dining room at the top the most. Which room is your favorite? See anything you would definitely want in your home?

Have a great Thursday!

    I really love the stripes…, and the orange too! I’ve got the orange but have yet to incorporate some stripes.

    The two-story living room and rustic-modern dining room are simple, elegant, and a minimalist’s dream.
    Since I already own a modern rust colored couch, looks like all I need is the perfect white paint color to get my living room design project started. Any suggestions?

    The turquoise dressing room is to die for! I also loved the idea of padded doors, so playful yet elegant.

    I could live with some pyramid paneling in my house and it would go very well with my modern decor…..Very unique!

Alexis Banks Humiston didn’t just design this 9,20 Alexis Banks Humiston didn’t just design this 9,200 sq ft Nashville home, she moved in with the family for two days first.
She interviewed everyone, including the 6 and 8-year-olds, before touching a wall. The payoff shows up in the details: a hand-painted constellation ceiling in the son’s room by @willemrackestudio, a floral canopy bed for the daughter, and a hidden reclaimed-wood bar tucked into the attic eaves.
Every room feels like it was made to be lived in, not admired.

The kitchen island gets all the credit. The stools The kitchen island gets all the credit. The stools rarely get any.
Velvet, woven wood, molded modern, sculptural, cast brass — seven islands, seven completely different takes on where you actually sit down. Some rooms go quiet with it, some go bold. Both work.
Which stools would you steal for your own island? Drop your answer 👇

An easy fall tablescape you can actually recreate.An easy fall tablescape you can actually recreate. 🍂
You don’t need a perfectly styled table or a dozen new pieces to make a fall gathering feel special. Start with what you already have and layer in a few simple details.
Think woven placemats + simple white plates + gingham napkins + fresh greenery. Add clear glassware and a simple centerpiece, and you have a table that feels warm, collected, and ready for dinner with friends.
The best part? Most of these elements can work beyond fall, too. Just switch out the napkin pattern or greenery and you have a completely different look.
Save this for your next fall gathering and use it as a starting point for your own table. 🤎
