In honour of Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d share some of my current design crushes with you. 14 of them, to be exact – although I have more! And for one lucky JAX reader, you’re going to get one of my design crushes for Valentine’s Day! If you entered my giveaway to win the beautiful horse photograph by Diane Schuller, you’ll find out soon if you’re the winner of Listen :-)
But just to keep you waiting (because I’m a tease that way), here are 14 of my design crushes first (in no particular order).
1. Diamond tufted grey velvet

2 & 3. Black steel frame windows & big kitchen windows that go down to the counter

4. Chairs upholstered in multiple fabrics
5 & 6. Dark painted ceilings & zebra print (although I suspect these may be real zebras)

7 & 8. Great architectural detail & big wall clocks

9. Mirrored furniture (plus more great architectural detail)
10. Gorgeous tile mosaics
11. Nailhead trim (and more diamond tufted grey velvet & great architectural details!)
12. Letter & word art

13. Thick countertops
14. Equine art
Which brings us to the big moment… who won this beautiful horse photograph by Diane Schuller? Thanks to everyone who participated by visiting Diane’s blog and spreading the word on your blogs, Facebook pages, and Twitter. Both Diane and I are thrilled with the response to the giveaway and her photography :-) And if you happen to be…
Christy from A Lil’ Welsh Rarebit
…then you’re now the proud owner of Listen! Congrats Christy! I’ll be in touch soon to get your deets.

If you want your home to reflect who you are and what you love, drop me a line for an in-person or online consultation.
I can see why you have a crush on all of thee above! I am currently crushing on antique lighting, bridge faucets and grasscloth wallpaper. Now that I've read your post, I'm adding those fabulous gray tufted dining chairs to my list... so pretty!!

Oh lovely! We share many design crushes and these images are sensational, I LOVE grey tufted velvet, thick counter tops, letter and word art, dark painted ceilings, multiply upholstered fabric chairs etc etc. GREAT post!
ReplyDeleteI just watched Sarah 101 and wow, wow, wow. There is not one single thing about this living room/dining that I don't like. I love every single thing: the colour scheme, the fabrics, the area rug, all that outstanding furniture (and reupholstery choices), everything! Wowzers. I want that space.
ReplyDeletei love all these things - oh my! you could turn this 'crush' into a great guest blogger series!.. if you do, I'm in!
ReplyDeleteLove the black steel frame windows..., I've seen them in NYC lofts.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great V day!!
