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 …

For those of you lucky enough to have a beach house, now’s the time to start thinking about decorating beyond traditional “costal decor!” Step one? Consider a color palette other than blue and white ;) See my latest blog post for more! 🏖️ 🐚#beachhouseinteriors #interiordesign #eastcoast

I follow two rules when mixing patterns in the same space: vary the scale, and vary the subject.I was excited to share this and other insights on pattern splicing with @ericafinamore from @apartmenttherapy! #interiordesign #patternsplicing #patternmixing #designopinions #annieelliottdesign

It’s Wallpaper Wednesday! This week we’re featuring Deconstructed Stripe by Schumacher (in collaboration with Miles Redd).This pattern pays tribute to the legendary decorator Albert Hadley. Redd was inspired by Hadley’s contemporary, streamlined designs that played with scale and proportion. Deconstructed Stripe is impactful on its own but also looks INCREDIBLE next to other patterns.@schumacher1889 #designinspo #wallpaper #interiordesigner

HuffPost asked for my thoughts about the new White House ballroom. As you can imagine, I have many. I was so delighted to be included in this conversation! Thank you, @huffpost and @carsar91!#interiordesign #whitehouse #designopinions #annieelliottdesign

I was thrilled to attend Imar Lyman’s exhibition opening at the Kreeger recently! I’ve loved his work for years and am lucky enough to own one of his silkscreens (ours is of Frederick Douglass). He’s moved from portraiture to abstraction, but he still does some work in collage, which I confess is my favorite ;) The exhibition is up through July 11. Play hooky one afternoon and go.(The last painting is by Frank Stella, by the way — an influence on the artist, as you can see!)@imarhutchins @kreegermuseum

It was an honor to be a sponsor of the 87th annual Flower Mart at the National Cathedral! My  daughters have been trekking up to the Cathedral for this event since they were little - wonderful memories. This year, my favorite flower display was the Hong Kong Economic and Trade office; those peonies smelled UNBELIEVABLE! 🌺 🌼 🌷 🌻! Switzerland was a close second ;)

For today’s Wallpaper Wednesday, we discuss Hicks Grand by David Hicks.The British interior designer created the smaller-scale Hicks Hexagon in the 1960s and later scaled up the pattern to create Hicks Grand. The contemporary, geometric, honeycomb repeat adds intrigue and depth to any room. I have only used the smaller Hicks Hexagon (stairway picture), but I LOVE the scale of Hicks Grand. Fun fact: The Hicks Hexagon pattern was used on the rugs in the Overlook Hotel’ hallways in The Shining 😱#wallpaperinspo #interiorinspiration #hicksandgrand
