Design Styles: What’s Yours?
kmills

Not sure of your design style?  Then check out some of these styles to see if they speak to you….

Modern villa- from yatzer.com

I  just love this gorgeous modern style villa that sits over the water, especially the way the architect offset the glass building from the metal support structure.  And the lap pool is divine.  The only thing I would consider adding would be a glass floor in the middle of the main floor that allowed a view down into the ocean. 

Contemporary design style in Japan

Most of the elements in this room above make it feel old and rustic including the gothic arch over the sink.

Notice the sunburst mirror and graphic elements in this room that give it a retro feel along with the burst of color.

Of course most of us in the United States are traditional style but I love to share other styles so you can mix in a little of them if you like.

Personalization in Design: Hollywood Stars & Their Spaces
kmills

Ever get a feel for the owner’s personality the instant you enter their home?   

Newly renovated home of Gerard Butler

 

  That’s how I felt the moment I saw this newly renovated loft of movie star Gerard Butler in Architectural Digest.  Don’t you feel like you just stepped into the home of the Spartan King or Dracula?   And the love how he created cozy spaces with warm colors, overstuffed furniture and great lighting.

Home of actress Jennifer Aniston

 

Now take a look at the new home of Jennifer Aniston in contrast with its soft sleek fabrics and smooth textures.    Its sexy just like her and what a huge contrast from the manly rough edged loft of Gerard Butler.   
John Travolta's Home

Home of actor John Travolta and Kelly Preston

 

 And what about Travolta’s home?   Just take a look out his window.  Now that’s what I call roadtrip ready!   How fun!  Just hope Kelly has a couple of spaces to call her own too.
