As a designer, writer, and entrepreneur, I’m obsessed with anything that is luxury, unique, or glamorous! I have a keen eye for style and love sharing all my ideas, muses, and projects with the rest of the design world! I love to travel along with Sophie, my mini Schnauzer whom I take on all my great adventures.

Hottest Colors of the Season: 3 Shades of Green
Kick it up a notch this season with the powerful color of green! Think exciting shades like olive, emerald, and forest green. To get on the right track incorporate this bold hue throughout your home with fabrics, paint, and even accessories. When looking for complementary colors, try natural hues like yellow, brown, taupe, burnt orange, and beige.
The lush looking home below has it all – forest green in the dining room, olive curtains in the sitting room, and green bedding in the bedroom. For an eccentric look the designers even added a wild zebra rug for maximum impact. Wow!

Continued – Featured Home: Designer Richard Mervis’ New York Extravaganza
I promised you I would continue the New York Upper East Side duplex tour by designer Richard Mervis. This time around you get a tour of the upstairs part of the duplex which is just as exciting as the downstairs.
Richard did a whole renovation to bring back a look that’s far away from modern and contemporary. A more traditional look was brought to the home and intensive renovation work took place. Custom wallpaper, custom upholstering, mahogany furniture, ebony counter tops, and marble mantles are what make this duplex apartment a true gem in the big apple. Take a look:

Featured Home: Designer Richard Mervis’ New York Extravaganza
Welcome to one of New York’s most remarkable Upper East Side duplexes, owned by none other than designer Richard Mervis. Richard usually stays under the radar, so peeking into one of his personal projects is almost impossible. Here we get a tour of Richard’s New York duplex which he shares with his real estate developer partner, Jeffrey Rosen. The two originally lived a floor below and purchased the above floor to shape both units into one apartment.
I love how Mervis keeps all of the walls in his home neutral colors. They are either white, beige, or covered with some kind of molding or wood work. The rest of the space is brought to life with interesting furniture, antiques and various textures like fabric, furs, and stone. If you were to use bright hues on the walls, this look would definitely not work out. Take a look at the gorgeous Chinese chinoiserie screens he propped up in their living room!
Check out Richard’s crib and stay tuned for more of the tour next week!
