Thank You for Making the World a Beautiful Place!

Laura Martin Bovard Interiors.

Not only does Laura and her talented design team seek out unique items for their clients, they focus on clients lifestyles and personal taste and 

don't let a "designer ego" get in the way. 

Their work reflects the homeowners taste, granted... elevated.

So, Thank you to LMBI for creating beauty.

 Sure, blues are back-but this use of ink with lime is a fresh take on color combinations.  The modern sectional with the mid-century case pieces - anchored with a sumptuous rug make this room so inviting. 

 A pop of yellow rocks this  living room.

Yes, we are going to toot our horn!  Most of their work is custom,  but some items do come from Khrome Studios and we like to think we make it easier for them to be so "spot-on".

A mid-century classic, these nesting tables add a touch of elegance to any room.  Visually non-obstructive, yet highly usable and warm, floating tables can be moved to where you need them at any time. 

Harder than it looks:

Take a minimal approach and make it livable and inviting. 

One of the LMBI team's specialties!

A personal favorite is this symmetrical and sexy bedroom. 

Created with another unexpected color palette, it is startling yet subtle, due to the sheepskin bench, pattern upon pattern, white with ivory, mercury glass, and multiple surfaces and texture everywhere.

  I can see Audrey Hepburn sitting on this bench while getting dressed.  

Angie?

I saved the best for last.  The perfect use of Vioski furniture: 

A great room where every inch counts.  

When your eye is directed to the back of a conversation area, you really need to think outside norms.  This  acrylic console is functional and invisible so your eye goes directly to the detailed design of 

Jeff Vioski's Chicago Sofa.  

Again, the mix of materials: warm woods, cool chrome, mirrored pieces  and acrylic is bold and unique.   

We look forward to seeing more beauty from this amazing team.

Thank you for making the world a more beautiful place! ****************************Access Decor***************************

We love our designers.  They have been loyal, pleasant, professional, talented and we learn from them everyday, we listen, we try to help them problem solve, and we recommend them as often as possible.

That said, we often occasionally get  customers who come in and just want to buy.  Maybe they are budget conscious, had a bad experience, who knows. These customers usually just want some assistance in making the right decision.
After all, a very large percentage of our designers are hired to fix the clients mistakes.

So we would like to highlight Access Decor, located in the Galleria Design Center for their taste, style and business - as well as helping make the world a more beautiful place!

In order to be a good buying service, you really need to know your stuff.  Your product, your showrooms, your logistics.  It isn't just writing a purchase order. 
Access Décor designs, saves you from scale errors, and has 2 generations of Interior Design in the business.

This is not our product, but we love how they showcase it.  Useable and comfortable, and the brass on the ottoman! Yes!

I love everything about this space.  Unfortunately, Access promotes their service and I don't have better images.  I assume an architect worked with them, but I would bet they chose the surface product in this house.  Love the see-through fireplace.

I can't get enough of modern window treatments.  These silk (?) stripes take this room to a whole new level.

Send me images AD.  Would love to showcase what you do.

Ursula Kloeters has been designing homes and modern spaces for a long time-promise not to say....

Educated in Europe and the United States, her design ethos is clean and sophisticated.  Once again, I save the best for you to seek out-below, but here is the teaser and some of my favorites:

Above is a modern day loft.  She has taken a long narrow space into an intimate and exciting series of rooms. Here you see a media area, a conversation pit, a multi-purpose table and the multiple use of materials: woods, lacquer, chrome and more. This is perfect "Mix-Up" of surface and style that defines creativity.  This particular effort, done this well, is one of the most complicated looks a designer can create.  

BEST use of space. Forget the L sectional and coffee table.  Here you can entertain. Come on over for Oscar Night or the Super Bowl, there is plenty of room, and it looks like you can play tag on the green after!

What I love: calm, clean, cool and comfortable.  Our lives are so frenetic, who doesn't want to walk into their home after a busy day and feel at peace?

Ditto

One of my passions is the "window life" in San Francisco, The best treatments for home and home office, sleep and purpose, 

done by SQ with unusual and soothing color palettes.

I believe I have wanted this dining room in my home since I first saw this image.  Classic, elegant, inviting.  The table may expand, but isn't too large for a family dinner, a formal dinner and more. Have the ladies over to discuss a fund-raiser (sorry if it sound sexist,but that is how we live) or ...  Reachable space with beautiful lighting and color guarantees your guests will stay long after dessert.
