Revival Rugs! - Interior Design 2016

I am typically focused on creating beautiful homes for my clients.

Lately, with all of this time sheltering in place, I have been re-shuffling my own home. One room that needed a bit of love was the living room. I aim to create timeless but fresh designs. I enjoy revamping my interiors every few years with simple updates. Purchasing a new carpet, replacing pillows, rehanging art and adding unique accessories are all wonderful ways to update your rooms. Design is an intuitive process for me but I always begin with a concept and inspiration. I live by the ocean and am drawn to the colors of nature but living sea-side also impacts our lifestyle. During the warmer months, life is fairly casual around here and involves lots of time outdoors, on the water and at the beach. My kids are young and I have a pet, nothing can feel or be too precious. Wet bathing suits and sandy feet often make their way indoors. I always mix new and vintage finds into my designs. I love handcrafted textiles and supporting small business. I was thrilled to discover the amazing online source, Revival Rugs. They have a very nice selection of handmade, natural fiber rugs in an array of styles.

I recently acquired and framed a gorgeous, oversized Gray Malin photograph. The mix of colors and textures in the photo was the starting point for my color palette. Next, I was on the hunt for a handmade, one of a kind, Turkish rug that had a soft, sophisticated feel but wasn't too fussy. I found the perfect rug at Revival Rugs! It arrived quickly, was well packaged and was a great price point. If you are in search of a new rug, be sure to check out Revival Rug'sselection of lovely new and vintage rugs. I layered my vintage, Turkish rug over my existing natural fiber rug. The texture and colors beautifully ground the room and compliment the patterned French blue chairs. I am thrilled with my choice! Next up is hanging my off white linen drapes and having my sofa reupholstered.

I'll be using, Revival Rugs, again in the near future for my design projects and own home. Be sure to use the code: JULIERICHARD10, to receive 10% off of your order. Here is a peek at my living room and pretty rug. I'll will have my home professionally photographed when I can!

Shelter Loves 5.15.20 - Interior Design 2016

I am trying my best not to grow frustrated and am holding out for warm, sunny and fun summer. I am fortunate enough to be working on some lovely projects, they are a nice distraction! I'm looking forward to having a couple projects from 2018 photographed when this "crisis" is over and cannot wait to share some new work with you all. Today I'm posting what I'm inspired by or have recently added to my wish list. Wishing you a weekend full of sun and health. xx 

1. I adore white dresses with ruffles and feminine details. This one is pretty. Anthropologie and J.Crew are having dress sales this weekend. 
2. I've been making a lot of fresh salads full of fruits and veggies. I plan to plant my garden next week. Here is the recipe for the one pictured. 
3. I've been purging and making changes around my home. I want to simply and declutter more than ever!! Do you? I got rid of any scratched miss-matched glasses I had and am updating my glassware them with a classic French bistro staple.. 
4. Very true. I am guilty of this at times. 
5. I love striped umbrellas and French blue! It's a go to color in my own home and mixes with both classic and modern furniture.
6. Woven pendants. Serena and Lily have a number of pretty ones. 
7. Sandal season is here! These are adorable and made in Spain.

Love the look - White tops - Interior Design 2016

HAPPY FRIDAY and the SUN is shining! I have an affinity for white tops during the warmer months. They look great on everyone and pair with virtually anything. Since cleaning out my closet and donating five large bags of clothing, I'm trying to be smart about my purchases. These tops can all be dressed up or down and are timeless, #5 is the perfect layering tank for under white tops. #2 - I am in love with just about everything from Ulla Johnson. I can justify a splurge here and there. I am all about "quality over quantity", these days.  Wishing you the best weekend possible.
