Designer: Windsor Smith

I have been doing research for a design project I am working on and I had the idea to go and look at the website of Windsor Smith for inspiration. Well I certainly went to the right place! This designer has really incredible taste and creates the most chic, yet livable rooms. Really an outstanding talent...I could live in most of the homes she designs and feel really comfortable. What I like is that she can design in many styles, traditional, eclectic or classic but manages to keep her own signature running through her work. She keeps a nice mix of modern mixed with antique or vintage and even her most classic homes never look stuffy. Take a look at a few of her wonderful rooms here many from here own home...

Interiors: Swiss Mix

This home in Zurich was built originally in 1925 and was renovated recently to create this amazingly elegant and sophisticated space.  Steve Gambrel, a well known American designer that had done three other homes for the same couple, did a beautiful job. I love how the space still manages to feel cozy and warm despite being so grand at the same time. The dining room is really outstanding. I like the shiny beams on the ceiling and the tiled and mirrored wall on one end of the room. The long bench is such a great idea in this room and allows for a lot of guests to sit at the table ....simply gorgeous!

House with a View

A stunning view is what sold this couple on this California property and I can see why! So gorgeous and so is this home...amazing. Wonderful rooms that look out to the sea all done in varying shades of pale. Large doors throughout the house bring the outside in and give it a real Mediterranean feeling. White washed wood, beams and shutters just add to make this home feel cozy and calm. The island counter in the kitchen is one of the best spots for me as is the master bedroom. How I would love to wake up to that view in the morning! Then there is the beautiful terrace..... Here are a couple of other California homes that I love..ONE and TWO.

Enjoy!

White Home by the Sea

This lovely little home in Hamptons is for sale...just $17.5 million...with 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, it is ocean front property..of course. I have gone to the Hamptons and few times and I love it. (I showed another home in the Hamptons HERE) The beach is so amazing but it would have been even better if we had stayed in an all white beauty like this... Enjoy and dream...

Updated Traditional

What I find interesting about this traditional home is the balance in each of the elements throughout each space. The design of the home was done with symmetry in mind from the front driveway to the courtyard where scale and proportion is evident throughout. Even though the house is very traditional, I like the little surprises throughout with vintage lighting in the kitchen and the big antique doors in the sitting room.

Although this is not my favourite style of decor I do appreciate the beauty of the finishing and the detail put into a home like this......well done.

Enjoy!

Contemporary Chic

This home, all done up in neutrals, is so chic and contemporary yet still very comfortable. Gorgeous textures and the mix of old and new pieces keep it interesting. Love the bathroom fixtures and the use of mirrors in the dining room. Pale walls blend with the floor and furniture to create a soft and warm space. Really lovely..

Enjoy!

Kitchen and Bath: Seafoam and White

This beautiful contemporary kitchen and bath are made interesting by the choice of colour and materials. Pretty seafoam with silver fixtures makes this kitchen feel fresh and light. Check out that amazing ceiling! A really fun choice of fabrics for the banquette matched with leather in a caramel colour. The bathroom follows the look with a touch of seafoam and darker wood for contrast. Very traditional yet beautiful..

Designer Home

I really like Rue Magazine and the latest issue has got some great homes and ideas.

This months feature is on designer Caitlin Flemming. The home that she decorated below is actually the home of her mother and their collaboration was obviously a labour of love..and great taste. So simple... but the pieces! The gorgeous mirror in the living room, the armoire in the dining room and of course the amazing antique bed (I am afraid I would have to paint that bed white. I featured a really similar bed on Facebook in white and it is to die for!).

Enjoy!

Creamy Traditional Cottage

What really strikes me about this lovely traditional home in the English countryside is the wall colour. I love this shade of white! I have a colour like this in my home and it can look anywhere from very white to creamy yellow depending on the room and the time of day (the paint is Mayonnaise from Benjamin Moore). I painted the ceiling white and the moldings a different white (but with a glossy paint) and this plays off the wall colour beautifully. A touch of black here and there to anchor the room and you have a great looking space like the one below...

Enjoy!

A Twist on Traditional

This gorgeous home has a very traditional style but is made new with modern and vintage furnishings. This is such a good example of mixing styles in the right way and creating a very warm and inviting space. I really love the pantry space near the stairs with a hit of red and the rough tiles and table. I also think the kitchen are is so well done alternating the modern counters with barn lights and table. A fabulous outdoor space is an added bonus for sure!

Enjoy!
