Windsor Smith

I wanted to share some of the beautiful work from California based designer, Windsor Smith. She is known to mix antiques with modern elements. Windsor Smith even designed the Veranda showhouse (which also featured works of other designers) that was purchased by Gwneth Paltrow, who we know has impeccable taste. You can bring a little Windsor Smith into your home as she has a fabric line with Kravat, her own home line and Room in a Box design service.

Large ottoman is the center focal point of the room and the double sided sofa makes two seating areas.

Exotic touch mixed with the modern with the marrakech type shape of the side tables to the pagoda style  light in the kitchen.

Mudrooms...minus the Mud!

Mudrooms are a great area of the house where you can store neatly wellies, flip flops, or have it be a place to hang coats, hats, and umbrellas. One thing for sure is missing...the mud! 

Below are some amazing examples of some of my favorite mudrooms I have come across. There is a decor element from fresh flowers, loose pieces of coral, or fabric seating, cohesion of matching baskets or totes for organization, and personalized elements with monogrammed L.L. Bean totes, or family photos. Which one is your favorite?

I love this beachy mudroom, with built in wrap around seating, built in drawers, the paint and wood details, and how can I forget that amazing stable door-via
