Katie Rosenfeld & Susan Palma + News


Were you here yesterday?  I had mentioned picking up the April issue of Traditional Home over the weekend.  I'd looked through some of it, and saw this.  I decided to save it for today as clearly this was going to be really good and I wanted to save the pink till last.  Well, I was more than just a bit excited to discover that it's Katie Rosenfeld's project.  Katie is one of the few designers I'm aware of that could come in and redesign my house while I'm away. I know I'd love every single inch.  On her blog,  she's been mentioning her "Pink Lady" client, and I've been curious. The article explains that Pink Lady, actually Katie Newsome, was inspired by the blog Chinoiserie Chic. Well, aren't we all?? This house is absolutely fantastic.  You have to have this issue and see it in its entirety.  It's all just so, so good.

So, here's my favorite bedroom of all time which was designed by Dallas interior designer, Susan Palma.  Sometime, I'm going to go back and count how many times I've posted this image on TPP. I'm imagining you all scrolling through saying, "YES, WE KNOW YOU LOVE THIS BEDROOM.  NOW, MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE. But, you're too nice and understanding about interior design obsessions to do such a thing.  Besides, I bet you love it, too!


So, I was flipping through my April Traditional Home, and came to a screeching halt.  There, at the top left is THE BEDROOM. Apparently, Jane Scott Hodges has written a book, and had the elegant taste to include Susan's room.  I read and read this page trying to find some mention of Susan Palma, but never did.  Susan, if you're reading, do not be concerned.  I'm doing my part here at TPP to make certain that everyone knows this beautiful bedroom was created by you ; )

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

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
