amber

It is made up of simple lines, but layers of color. This bedroom is filled with warm, plain features with just enough detail to be lovely. Of course, the rug ties it all together-- and adds pretty pale blue to the burnt orange majority.

alcove

Even though I fall in love with every library I see, there are still those that really stand out. This one is a hallway-- not exactly what I would normally envision as the site of my personal literary collection. It would seem cumbersome, illogical, and scattered to arrange it this way. Except... well, I love it. The alcoves created are a perfect place to read in. There's something about a nook that is attractive that way. Yes, I could definitely embrace this plan.

smooth

This clean-cut kitchen is perfectly pitched, but stylish and classic.

green apple

This is one to wake you up. I can just imagine stumbling in here first thing in the morning and having my eyes opened for me. I'm not sure how flattering the green paint would be for your skin tone, but it certainly does have a dramatic impression. I especially like how it's paired with the bold mirror, but I think the sink is a little much-- it muddles the strength of the other elements. Still, it's quite a bathroom.

iridescent

I've seen lots of different examples of the newly re-popular chinoiserie wallpaper, but never one used like this. The unusually pearlescent design is only applied in the upper 2/5s of the room-- leaving the viewers with a perspective like the creatures the wallpaper displays. It adds much to the fantasy aspect of the room, and the extra moulding even heightens the elegance of the room. It's balanced out perfectly by the sharp angularity of the chairs and floor.
