ROOM OF THE WEEK 3.24

In searching for some rooms that had that beach-house feeling without being too... well... beachy, I discovered this home designed by Bear-Hill Interiors, and fell in love with this room...

My number one requirement in a vacation home is that every space must lower my blood pressure exponentially. This is so doing it for me. The mix of patterns in a soft grey - especially the placement of the wallpaper - keeps it from being too boring, and the pop of aqua is the perfect touch. The benches are also keeping things functional (pssst - styling trick, notice how the pillows are turned opposite so we're seeing only the stripe from the photographer's perspective?). There's definitely a relaxed sophistication going on here, which is very much my style. So... when can I move in?

    Oooh, so fun to see this here and that you've discovered the talented folks at Bear-Hill. I had the pleasure of styling and producing this shoot last year for a feature in our June issue--and it was as inviting as it looks! http://www.athomearkansas.com/article/beach-style-chic

    The color palette is reminiscent of the beach, but in a subtle rather than in-your-face way. I love the pop of turquoise glass and abundant use of white, which is always light and airy. Very sophisticated and chic!

    oooh how beautiful! I love the wallpaper and how they only used it on a small portion of the wall and on to the ceiling. And I love that teal glass lamp. Lovely!
