A Bright, Sunshiny Day

Sun Rooms are great for allowing one to feel like your outdoors with all the comforts of the indoors.

I recently completed a project of furnishing and accessorizing a sun room. We incorporated a lot of rustic elements, birds, birdcages, leaf motifs and bright colors that are perfectly suited to the clients taste and the rest of the house while making it an unique "outdoor" space.

I changed out the lighting for some unique pieces that add a fun element to the space.

Here is a custom chair that is a great stand-alone piece.

What is your opinion of sun rooms?  Do you have one, or wish you did?

Accessorizing

I'm having fun accessorizing for two of my projects that are finishing up this next week.  I like to do a little shopping around town finding things like:

From West Elm

From Z Gallery

I also like to order a few  things from my accessory vendors that I can't find so easily around town. One of these being The HomePort Collection which has a nice assortment of urban simplicity in their accessories, a la Anthropologie.

In case you missed my article a few months back on the importance of accessorizing, you can find it here on Kalanicut's blog, where I wrote it for a guest post.


P.S. Happy 4th of July!

Chilewich

I was recently approached by a company called Chilewich because they have just launched their site for interior designers.  They offer top of table accessories, some shades, flooring and even handbags.  They all have wonderful natural texture and color options.  Take a look:

I also thought it was fun that they provide pet placemats and iphone cases!  This would make any pet area look sophisticated and chic. I'll have to consider the gray, of course.  That even looks a little like my cat!

Once I upgrade to the iphone 4 from 3GS I'll be tempted to get these very "designer" looking cases.  And maybe a matching bag to put it in, oh my!
