You asked…about paint colors for a bedroom/bath suite

Annie Elliott | September 8, 2009

Hi —I live in Naples, Florida, and purchased a new condo when I moved here 8 years ago….My issue relates to paint for the master bedroom/bath. Master bedroom is a good size. Presently painted Penny (Ben Moore’s 2163-30), but I’m not happy with this color–too orange looking. I want to repaint the bedroom Clinton Brown, …

Benjamin Moore’s Wedgewood Gray. Satisfaction guaranteed.

Annie Elliott | August 6, 2009

I’m a big fan of Benjamin Moore’s HC-146 Wedgewood Gray, as you know. So I was especially tickled when Sara sent pictures of her recently painted laundry and powder rooms. She writes: “…we did just renovate our laundry and powder rooms (they’re connected), and I couldn’t resist sending you before and after pictures….Thanks for saving …

“Fancy bathroom” series: St. Paul, Minnesota

Annie Elliott | August 4, 2009

I love it. Following the recent post about a bossy blog reader’s unexpected encounter with a fancy bathroom in an Akron hotel, another Gentle Reader sent these pics. Susan writes: “I was in St Paul Minnesota for a week on vacation, attended a Wodehouse Society conference [at the historic St. Paul Hotel]. “I needed a …

Akron’s fancy bathroom. Who knew?

Annie Elliott | July 27, 2009

This is why bossy blog readers rock. You knew I’d want to see pictures of the bathroom in the hotel you stayed in on your potentially-inadvisable-because-you-have-2-small-children-but-ok-in-the-end road trip to see your relatives in the Middle West. This is exactly the kind of stuff I dig. (The bathroom, not the road trip.) The Gentle Reader in …

Farrow & Ball’s Rosslyn papers, installed!

Annie Elliott | June 25, 2009

Remember when I mentioned Farrow & Ball’s Rosslyn papers as an exquisite example of wallpaper’s return? Today I saw its installation in a powder room. Please excuse the “in progress” shot, but I just couldn’t wait to show you. The metallic gold pattern will add sparkle to this small space; like many powder rooms, it …

In praise of the small kitchen

Annie Elliott | June 24, 2009

Seems as though yesterday’s post about a small kitchen really set off a firestorm. Not because the kitchen was small, but because it was untidy. Well. We all know that cluttered counters are an indication of depravity. I saw a bossy basic client not too long ago, and while the focus of my visit was …

You asked…about bath “builder’s beige” (blech)

Annie Elliott | February 24, 2009

Hi Annie, I love your blog and read it religiously since discovering it via Washingpost.com. I have a question I’m hoping you can answer. I moved into a relatively new house about a year ago (it was built in 2003), and while the master bath is very spacious, it has very generic “builders beige” tile …

SO much fun to create this entertainment space! This client already had a living room and kitchen…this space is for friends and family to relax, talk, and just BE. What’s your favorite feature?

Happy Wallpaper Wednesday! There’s no better paper to feature in August than Schumacher’s Citrus Garden 🍋 🍊.The Swedish designer, artist, and architect Josef Frank created the Citrus Garden pattern as a fabric in 1947. The hand-drawn, whimsical, quintessentially mid-century, irresistibly cheerful design exemplifies Frank’s philosophy: “The freer the pattern, the better.” I’ve used Citrus Garden fabric a few times, but shockingly, the pattern wasn’t on wallpaper until 2017!! 🤯 Deprived for so long!! As soon as the opportunity arises, I’m running, not walking, to get my hands on this wallpaper.@schumacher_midatlantic 📸 @angieseckinger

All of a sudden, novelty accent lamps are EVERYWHERE! Some are cute, some are…inadvisable ;) If you just can’t resist a lamp in the shape of a snail, my latest blog post has recommendations for proceeding responsibly💡

Happy Wallpaper Wednesday! Let’s talk about Cole & Son’s Acquario, shall we?Iconic Italian artist Piero Fornasetti designed Acquario for Cole & Son in the early 2010s. He was going through an ocean phase, captivated by its mysterious depths 🐠, so he developed this fish design and put it first on plates and fabrics, and then, luckily for us, on wallpaper. We just installed Acquario in the Print Room Blue colorway in a client’s tiny practice room (he plays classical guitar), and we LOVE it! That big old blowfish, just gliding along…he kills me.Featuring: @cole_and_son_wallpapers @fornasetti

Get ready for a dramatic before and after! We transformed a playroom into a dining room, and the result is pretty amazing. (But still fun!) #wallpaper #interiordesign #diningroominspo

For today’s Wallpaper Wednesday, we discuss the chinoiserie wallpaper in the Great Hall at  @citytavern_dc  in Washington, DC. Ooooohh - field trip!I was delighted to visit City Tavern recently. It’s a historic 1796 Federal building in the heart of Georgetown, and all the cool kids hung out there. You know, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson…those guys. At one point, the building boasted the largest room in Washington.I, of course, was captivated by the Great Hall, which is covered in @graciestudio hand-painted wallpaper — which was selected by none other than Jackie Kennedy! EVEN THOUGH at that time the building was a club that didn’t admit women. Harumph.The chinoiserie walls are gorgeous from far away, but they’re amazing up close, also: you can see faint brushstrokes left by the painters. Doesn’t that give you a shiver? I love it.
