Here are a few more rooms from the 09 DC Design House that impressed me...

I love the warm gray and vibrant yellow combo in this sitting room decorated by Sally Steponkus and Heather Safferstone. Isn't that Windsor Smith for Kravet fabric to die for? Coincidentally, CocoCozy is hosting a giveaway right now for two pillows in this exact print - check it out here.


Designer Sarah Wessel wanted the shelves in the showhouse library to be filled with leather-bound books. When she couldn't find enough to her liking, she used Farrow & Ball wallpaper to cover inexpensive books. I love this look! Using scrapbook or wrapping paper would be a less pricey alternative to the wallpaper. Just don't forget to label the spines of the books!


David Mitchell made a serious statement in the living room by simply cutting and arranging pieces of art paper for this beautiful framed series.
{and don't you just love those pillows??}


Elle Decor published a room by Shelton, Mindel & Associates that featured some very similar artwork done by Gunther Forg. Mrs. Blandings posted about this artwork and shared a method for creating her own version.
