Interior Design Blog

Have you been waiting for a reason to go wild with color?! If you’re ready, but you feel like you need a little backing from some of the best color forecasters in the business, well this is your year!

So after moving to the desert a few months ago, we have a whole new respect for what’s hot! Walks before 8 am, swimming at night and booties on the dog kind of hot. For this blog we are going to talk about what’s been hot in the design world this summer.

So, every night about this time of year, I am lulled off to sleep by the gentle dance of the leafy trees, the breeze tickling my eyelashes and the hypnotic dance of crickets and cicadas.

We had too much fun last week updating a few outdoor spaces for a client. Now, we had to admit that they were not too shabby to begin with. This client has a pretty good sense of design to begin with, so really all we had to do is shake it up a little and take a few chances.

With less than a week before we celebrate our nations independence, we couldn't think of a better time to explore some fabulous color combinations featuring our country's symbolic color palette.

So, they say if you see, hear or speak something three separate times, it's probably a good idea to pay attention to it. When it comes to color, it's not hard to get my attention!

As a design family any member is bound to be gifted a book on 1001 Chairs or a dog made of recycled newspaper overruns or bamboo bedside lamp.

We are in high outdoor gear here at Mandeville Canyon Designs. This summer includes a fabulous pool, some whimsical gardens and great new decks all around.

Someday soon it will feel like spring here in New England. I promise! These chilly temps have me longing for warmer days and blooming flowers.

I'm not much of a DIY'er, even though I constantly dream of being one. However, there is one project that I ALWAYS recommend my clients do in just about every room in your home.
