The January / February issue of Veranda features the Dallas home of designer Kelli Ford. The house is over the top and I could easily blog about many of the rooms featured. But what really caught my eye were the floors. Check out the Missoni inspired bathroom floor….

It reminds me of this wallpaper. And in the same home, the gallery hall features a Hicks inspired pattern….

Pretty spectacular, huh? And finally, in another home designed by this amazing duo (sisters Kirsten Fitzgibbons and Kelli Ford)…I am in love with the high gloss black floors.

Seriously, all three of these images are killing me. Love them all.
You?
Last weekend I spotted this image over at Isabella and Max.
Besides the sheer beauty of the architecture here, I was immediately drawn to the carpet which is Stark’s “Logo” a Hicks design. I’ve used the same carpet / colorway in Harry’s nursery. I adore this carpet. After seeing this image I had to go to his website hoping to find some more images of this space. Lucky for me, I did and wasn’t disappointed. Below is a view from the top of the stairs. Look at all of the light…such a unique spot.
My kids would go crazy over that retro chair. Although, somehow I am guessing not a ton of kids live in this space? Perhaps my favorite image from this home are the shots of the kitchen. I am dying to know what the countertop materials is (perhaps quartzite?). Everything is just perfection to me. And I am really glad we have already ordered our own backsplash tile or this might have caused me to re-think my decision yet again. (I seriously thought our builder was going to lose it with my indecision in this area.)
Over the last year I have slowly come around to lavender hues…..this room….yes, I could more than be happy with it. The Moroccan rug, the overscale art….the delicious window treatments. What isn’t to love?
And while my husband could hang out here….
I would be more than happy to catch up on blogs and design magazines from this little spot.

There are a bunch more images of this amazing property on S.R. Gambrel’s website. It is listed in the “town” portfolio under “Lower Fifth Townhouse.” I feel like I could study his portfolio for a year….and still learn something new with each look.
Are you as envious as I am?
I cannot look at this sunroom, designed by Ingrid Fretheim, without feeling happy.

Such a happy spot.

Timeless, no?
With Maddie in preschool 4 mornings a week and Harry ever more active at almost 11 months, I now understand who the silly old Calgon ads were aimed at. Calgon may not be my thing, but I’ll take a bubble bath with my favorite L’Occitane fragrance, some relaxing music and a refreshing beverage any day. Of course, how could you not relax in this setting?

Not to be overly dramatic, but I literally fell off my chair the first time I saw those floors. LOVE!
I fell in love with this Lilly Pulitzer by Lee Jofa fabric and knew I wanted to see it used in Maddie’s room.
The initial plan was to do drapes….but I need 25 yards and really this is just too much to spend in a three year old’s bedroom. So, I’ve decided to go to plan B and use it on an upholstered headboard where I need more like 5 yards. I went to my upholsterer last week armed with sketches and dimensions. He’s going to do a mock up for me and assuming all goes well she will finally have a big girl bed ready when we move back in after the remodel.
Need some upholstered headboard inspiration?
