Junell from Seeker's Bazaar Here Today

My friend Junell is here today while I'm doing last minute One Room Challenge work.    You will love all of the gorgeousness she has to share.  She has exquisite taste, and I highly recommend her incredible blog.  Happy Tuesday!  Jennifer


Hello! Junell here from Seekers Bazaar. So excited & honored to be guest posting @ TPP.  Could have died when Jenn asked me to help out. Seriously, freaked out, put my eyes back in my head & said "Sure, Jenn, I do this all the time" not.... 



I am a huge fan of Jenn's, TPP, Designer Showhouses, Color & Palm
Beach Chic; that is my resume in a nutshell. Working on a renovation & will
be filling up my new/old home with lots of work that Jenn has done & will
be doing for moi. Jenn is busy  getting her
husband to finish with the last minute details of her big ORC reveal tomorrow
so I am stepping into to embarrass myself & hopefully not run off too many
regular TPP followers.





2012 Hampton Designer Showhouse
Have eagerly been watching the updates on the 2012 Traditional Home Designer Showhouse as I love showhouses. In my renovation we are adding cedar shake with lots of windows. Now my whole project would fit in the foyer of this gem so that is where the similarities end but love seeing how it all "shakes" out....



Eileen Kathryn Boyd
The pool house from the 2011 Hampton Designer Showhouse done by Eileen Kathryn Boyd rocked my universe. Bold combinations of lavender, turq & sunflower gold was pure genius. Updated Palm Beach Chic for sure!









Psych, 2012 has opened & I have been scanning the globe for updates. Posting my most favorites but know there is more loveliness lurking in the links.








The 2012 House is full of rock & roll surprises as well. The dining room practically has me speechless..... practically is the operative word here coz to render me speechless would mean I have passed on...just saying. Kravet is well respresented in this jewel of a room done by the dynamic duo Jennifer Mabley & Austin Handler. They chose some of the soon to be released Jonathan Adler fabrics from Kravet & I am busting to see this new introduction.







One of my favorite images from this dynamic duo was the 2010 Hampton Designer Showhouse Pool Lounge. Well before I had even heard of Pinterest so I had to dig deep through my image archives to find it. Pinterest ~  lifesaver.... why didn't I think of that.......

Guest Suite via Quintessence
The guest room really pays homage to TPP creator Jenn who adores blue & white & why yes there are even some touches of pink, I know look close.... Jenn has single handedly turned me into a lover of blue & white which prior to reading TPP I would have bet; "it ain't gonna' happen in my lifetime." Great coverage on this beautiful respite by Jennifer McConell over on Quintessense. 







I first saw the master suite below over on Bright, Bold & Beautiful's Laura Trevey's Pinterest Board. It is def glam sophistication & luxe Palm Beach Chic in spades. I am mad for it. Those walls, divine.



Hampton Designer Showhouse 2012 Master Suite



The foyer by Lee Robinson is undeniably die gawjus! See more of this goodness over on Quintessence.  Sherrfabulous over @ Design Indulgence first turned me onto this insanely fabulous fabric from Jim Thompson seen on the bench below. Heart palpitations; I need a defibrillator stat.






Hampton 2012 Foyer






Just a smidgen of all the goodness to be seen. Traditional Home will have more soon on all the fabulousness. The house is open until Sept. 3, 2012. If you are in the New York metro area or near by The Hamptons you really should check it out. Buy tickets here. 




Here is the latest on my reno which thinking would be a great pool house for the Hampton Designer House......







Thanks for having me & can not wait for the ORC reveal from all the Girls Gone Wild tomorrow!

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.

2014 Fall One Room Challenge || Final Week

Image
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
