Ana Antunes -- Interior Designer

Ana Antunes is an interior designer and television producer.  For years she produced the only home design/makeover show in Portugal.  While producing, she started stepping in as a regular designer on the show and now has her own interior design business.  I found her incredibly fabulous work on a blog (can't remember which) and I'm so happy I did.  It's very interesting and inspiring to see what talented designers outside the US are doing.  



This beautiful table image is from a Christmas photo shoot she did for a magazine in Portugal.


This fantastic room and all of the below images are from a project she did in July for her TV show.















What do you think?  I'm crazy for her brilliant use of color.  She has such a clean look, doesn't she?  I'll be sharing more of Ana's work as it's too gorgeous to keep to myself!

Blue and White Monday: Art

These two new amazing Christina Baker paintings were photographed hanging on a wall in Christina's studio before they were delivered recently to Bennet Galleries .  How I'd love to visit Christina's studio to see where all the magic takes place!  I can see that it's bright, clean, minimal, and sophisticated. As her paintings are always spectacular, it follows that her work space has to be gorgeous and inspirational.   Nightlife   Half Past Two Star Dust Not blue and white, but I love this one, don't you? I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to share it.   Star Dust is another new painting available at Bennet Galleries. .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   . I'm thinking about art studios at the moment because my daughter (an artist) and I will be moving to a new house in the next few months, and will use one of the bedrooms as an office/studio. The granny-chic style...

Blue and White Monday: Cynthia Collins Interiors

Image
I haven't seen a photo of a room in quite awhile that has captured my attention like the one above.  The straight lines and right angles the chairs and the upholstery create, along with the unframed, amazing Mallory Page painting, are the perfect foil to the tone on tone pattern of David Hicks', The Vase, wallpaper. The amount of color the Rose Famille infuses is perfect.  This exquisitely designed room is the work of Cynthia Collins , one of my favorite interior designers. What's more, she's a fellow Dallasite.  I know you'll enjoy the gorgeous images of her work I'm sharing below.  Check out her site for lots more.

2014 Fall One Room Challenge || Final Week

Thank you for coming to see my completed entrance hall. I redesigned our very tired and lifeless entry for The One Room Challenge. You can catch up and see "before" shots  here .  It's been so much fun working with this space, and I'm thrilled with the results.  How exciting to get to share it with you today! Above and below is the view from the front door. These are the beyond breathtaking panels that Christina Baker painted for the entry.  I'm not sure if from the photos you can get a true understanding of the impact these panels create.  In person they're even more beautiful, and I'm wanting to spend lots of time on the settee enjoying the view. Christina was absolutely lovely to work with. Besides these to-die-for paintings I get to enjoy everyday, it was fantastic getting to know and work with her. Her work is available at Gregg Irby Fine Art , and also can be seen on her site . And, here is the spectacular lant...
