DESIGNER ROOM RECREATE: A PINK AND BROWN STUDY!

July 31, 2010

I love so many of the spaces imagined by fab interior designer Christina Murphy! In the last month or two, I’ve returned to her site again and again for inspiration and ideas to bring to you.

Here is another. A cute study in a NYC apartment. Love this small space. It looks comfy, functional and stylish. The color combination of pink brown and white works really well too. A design trifecta!

Anyhooo, so now that I’ve admired and obsessed over Christina’s work…now it is time to imitate it (highest form of flattery right?). That brings us to today’s DESIGNER ROOM RECREATE!

    The Structube desk is awesome! I actually saw a desk similar to Structube’s at HAUS furniture in Los Angeles. They have tons of modern, comfortable furniture. I think the price as HAUS was $100 less than the Structube as well. Just putting out there, since its a more affordable alternative.

    Love that mix and can I just say the white piping edge on those sofas make it. Perfect and great inspiration.

    I love this inspiration room! The color brown, on its own, does not seem very “inspiring”. ha. However, when combined with other colors, brown truly comes alive as amazing neutral! Thanks for sharing your room recreation! Your blog is fabtastic!

    I have never been a big fan of brown but I have to admit that I love that sofa with the patterned and pink pillows. Love the Meurice Square table lamp too.

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. 🤎
