Dandy Chandy Tuesday ~ Black & White Elegance

I'm finding these Elegant Chandelier Canvases over at Posh Living SO eye-catching & inspiring.

They would look really wonderful in a bedroom or bathroom that has white walls so the black backgrounds can really stand out. Then add pops of color in vases, pillows, picture frames...live your life & live it now! :)

Dandy Chandy Tuesday ~ Shower in Style

You know we are obsessed with chandeliers or anything that features one on it! The style, the grace, the glam of a chandelier...and the thrill of finding great priced chandy's for your home really keep us going! :)

Design Tip of the Week (9.21.09) ~ Heat up your bathroom

Create a spa-like feel to your bathroom with two different heating elements that will make you melt into coziness.

A towel warmer! Yes, think about a nice toasty warm towel to wrap yourself in on a cold day. I hate getting out of the shower because I do not like to be cold, at all...so this bathroom accessory didn't take too much to sell me on. Also, they are a great mechanism for trendy towel storage. They come in several different designs and you can get them from many different distributers (and different price points). Here are some examples from Amba. Keep in mind that you can find towel warmers that are less modern, they come in bronze and some have a wrought iron look.




Another great way to warm up the bathroom is with a heated floor. If you are planning on re-tiling anytime soon, consider this nice addition. Heating elements can be placed under tile, stone and hardwood flooring AND you can even heat the floor in your shower! You would have no idea if a floor had a heating element by look, only by touch. TIP: There are many different options out there, so do your homework.

JUNE Primed4Design{er} of the Month ~ No Plain Janes Here!

Back in February we showcased Kristine's chic apartment style in our Decorator of the Month Segment. For June, we would like to present Kristine's Nana, Jane! We can see this family shares a flair for decorating and a love of unique antiques. Jane has a colonial house dated back to 1848 in an Ohio suburb East of Cleveland. Everything about her house is thought out, you can see it in all her attention to detail found both inside and outside her home.

Lets start from the outside and work our way in. Our favorites: the fence, the hanging plants, and the cotton spinning wheel on the front porch!







Jane's landscaping doesn't disappoint either! Her inviting outdoor spaces are accented with an antique bicycle and wagon wheels.







The kitchen is filled with so many unique goodies...so much to take in, so little space on this blog. The highlights: the working antique stove, the tin ceiling, and all the fun knick knacks including a cookie jar collection!















Off the kitchen, Jane has a keeping room where they warm up in the winter with their stove fireplace.







Her dining area is adorned with a tiffany lamp and a handmade hutch with pearlized containers made for spices.





In the main floor bathroom, you can be entertained with Jane's message wallpaper (lots of great sayings!) and not to mention more tin ceilings.





Here are some more unique treasures throughout her house.

A high back loveseat



A working victrola (a wind up record player)from the 1930s.



An 1820s organ from Pennsylvania.



Jane's house has many admirers. In fact she has a stack of cards from passerbys that have stopped to inquire about the house. Thanks for giving us a tour, Jane!

May Primed4Design{er} of the Month ~ Urban Bohemian Chic

Good morning! We are very excited to share with you today's Decorator's of the Month. We are saying Decorator's (2) because it was really the couple who has their own unique view on decorating/design, Megan (Art Teacher/Amazing Artist) and Steve (Graphic Designer/Amazing Artist), just bought their home a few months ago in Adams Morgan, Washington DC.

Their decor is very bohemian eclectic, fun, and drawing from worldly inspirations-carved figurines, deep reds and browns in their art and furniture, makes for a very cozy and comfortable feel throughout their house.

At the entryway you are greeted by a colorful table and an indian-inspired mirror:





To the right is the living room, with a large Pier One mirror (Megan got a REALLY great deal on it) and red, beige and black furniture & decor throughout:






As you turn around, there are beautiful built-in bookshelves along with a fireplace, and their favorite wedding photo:









Walking back to the entryway towards the dining room, you will find a beautiful handcarved statue underneath the TV (a great way to hide electronics & wires):






As you enter the dining room, artwork Megan made greets you on the left (how beautiful is the large red painting?!), as well as the best chandelier EVER - Monkeys!










The simply decorated, yet beautiful guest bathroom off of the dining room:







To the right is the open kitchen (note the Jonathan Adler pottery). If you don't have much cabinet space, A great way to store as well as display your glasses is to get an iron rack like they have, and put your colorful glasses on top:





Going up the stairs to the loft/office space and master bedroom, we are greeted by Zoe their cat. :) As you enter the loft/office space, note all of the graphic posters of Steve's throughout the room. Also fun little figurines in the room to look at (and a rattlesnake, eek!):











The previous owner took the condo above them, and added the stairway to connect the upstairs and downstairs. Their really wasn't a closet door, so they used nice curtains to hide their clothing in the hallway to the master bedroom:



The master bedroom has hints of blue throughout, as well as colors from downstairs. Megan has her jewelry hanging, so it doesn't get tangled, but it also just looks beautiful. Note the beautiful lamp that has been in Megan's family:
