There is not much difference between them and Restoration Hardware. Bravo, finally someone said it! The look is getting over worked because of design blogs and the sheeple that define their taste from reading them. I only found the 1st home's living room predictable, these "models" each contain an element of individuality. I love her blue library and am partial to the 1st photo. I think Tiffani's dining room is a great space and with Segreto's touch it took it to that WoW factor, the groin vault? What I love about Tiffani's family room is the mirror in gold, Randall kept her rug and used that throw. Becky I know what you mean, I never quite embraced the gray and gray wash, probably because I exhausted the shabby chic look and now have bins of barkcloth and lots of white chippy things hogging up the garage and basement. The same chandelier, the same candlesticks, the same grey wash finish and it is now a popular knock-off in the discount home goods stores. Not to anger the masses, just my concern that it has become predictable after a decade of the same aesthetic. Love it, and have used some of these ideas and textiles in our own home, but now worry that it is getting tired? We are working on a remodel at a second home and I'm not sure I would lean in this direction anymore as I fear it's becoming "cliche" and dated. This is better than ANY design course Kudos to your coverage! I feel like a shrew here. There is so much to learn by studying these photos. I didn't like the dark blue walls in the library at first until AG softened it with the first group of furniture and accessories. All the rooms are now layered to perfection. Tiffani's dining room and the work Leslie did on the walls and on the cabinets in the family room are gorgeous. I don't know what happened in the interim someone in my family changed something? It should be able to be done. All of the pics also load onto my iPad.Īt first I had a lot of difficulties, and then one day it all worked. Hope there is some way you could solve this problem! Thanks, Nanch. So frustrating as I want to see everything! The Apple store told me that it is the type of file that is uploaded. Joni, I wondered if you were aware that many of your pictures do not load onto an iPad? I was so honored to be asked to help with Tiffani's home! She was so sweet and gracious!! I think the wonderful Aidan Gray furnishings really made my work look amazing! Thank you Joni, Randal and Tiffani!! Leslie, your work is ahhhmazing! I have had one of your chests pinned on my furniture board for ages. This was so fun to see!!! All houses are so beautiful. I know Tiffani's dining room was a blank canvas but other than that each room built upon what the homeowners already had which is great and genius marketing, Loi summed it up, it didn't look staged, it looked natural and established. Joni I loved the houses and the AG products used, especially the lamp featured in the first photo of the study, do you have the name of it, for some reason I can't find it on the website. So interesting to see how the Oushak? Thank you so much Joni for this great post, Aiden Gray for the contest and thank you ladies for sharing your homes! Happy weekend everyone. That antelope rug has been on my design bucket list forever, I think I want my entire house done in Aiden Gray! The first house is so charming and welcoming and I love the bedroom textiles. I would love to know the color blue used in Tiffani's library. Tiffani's dining room is the bomb! Both houses were beautiful to begin with. Perhaps it can still be found in the store. I think it came from Laura Ashley or Ralph Lauren? The fabric looks a lot like a floral I purchased from Calico Corners a few years ago.
What do you think the floral drapery and pillow? So pretty. My favourite is the living room with the antelope rug.
It is interesting to see how these photographic shoots pan out. Why can't Aidan Gray open a store in Australia. Love them all Joni, these rooms are so beautiful, I have fallen in love with gray all over again- and the gray glaze by Leslie and Segreto is absolutely stunning- I will be rereading this post many times!! Your readers have impeccable taste and homes for sure. Bevin Distressed Gray 4 Door Media Cabinet Oh my goodness! So much fun to read your blog and be inspired. How lucky for both families!!!! You do such a great job setting up the "before" and then revealing the "after"! I gasped and my jaw literally dropped with the dining room transformation and then again with the family room. Bevin Distressed Gray 4 Door Media Cabinetīoth homes are beautiful, but I particularly love the house in Highland Park.
