Colleen Locke

I know I have posted on black walls before. Aaaand let's do it again shall we? Designer Colleen Locke has got it so right here. Please pay attention to the black and white stripe wall, Indian rug and Saarinen table in the background. It's so good. This look can seriously be accomplished with a minimal amount of money and a maximum amount of balls. Yep. I said it. It takes balls to paint your walls black. But I believe in you. Does anyone out there have any stories or pictures of black walls they would like to share with the class?

Trying to convince a client that she needs a black and white paisley wallpaper on her ceiling. I'll let you know what becomes of it.

Lisa Sterio's Home

Loving designer, Lisa Sterio's colorful home featured on Style At Home! Wowza, those drapes are good. Like a shot of Vitamin D.

I have had a thing for peacock feathers since I was a little girl. My mom kept a big vase full of them and I could never get over the color and pattern. Please behold the dining room *note the chairs* based on this bird's feather.

This little office is perfect. Please note the mix of wood finishes here my darlings. NOTHING matches and it all looks beautiful. This has got to be one the most common questions I get. Doesn't the wood need to match? No. I said no. Nopety-nope. Stop asking.
