Re: COLORFUL INTERIOR DESIGNER

She is very talented. 

She's bolder and more colorful than I but I still somehow really like most of what I see and could live in a lot of these spaces with a little tweaking.

 

I love tall branches in vases too.

 

That kitchen with the great wood cabinets is gorgeous. Just change out that "interesting" haha, light fixture and I'd love to have it.

 

That "glowing" room is very pretty. I love the wall color and mural and the archway. I'd have to change out all the red and it could be so pretty...I'm just not a red person.

 

The first beachy room is really nice. 

 

Also, her outdoor spaces are amazing!

 

Thanks for the lovelies @Oznell

Love that shallow-bowl pendant light fixture with the marbled/swirled alabaster/frosted glass look with the tan and cream colors, it is beautiful.

The contemporary Italian light fixture, not my favorite.

Are we sure that is a light fixture and not the landing gear of an alien space ship?

 

Love how the green glass vase at the window looks with the light coming through.  Really stands out and makes a huge positive difference in that kitchen.

@QVCisFun ,  ha, ha, agreed on the light.  You're right, the green vase is great.

Re: COLORFUL INTERIOR DESIGNER

I am not a fan of bright colors or a lot of prints in a home so it is not for me.

I do like the more neutral rooms and the Garden Spaces are gorgeous.

Re: COLORFUL INTERIOR DESIGNER

Love, love, love every bit of it except the outside and I just don't like that landscape look.  I like the more French garden or British gardens.

Re: COLORFUL INTERIOR DESIGNER

I'm not sure why but none of these rooms are really ones I love.  I don't like most of the furniture choices, I am not fond of the colors, curtains and arrangements either.  

 

For big rooms, they still seem cluttered and without breathing space (best way I can think of to describe it) to me.

Re: COLORFUL INTERIOR DESIGNER

There is much appeal in her decorating and design.  I also love red and that I found appealing.  For the most part I liked the way the rooms were decorated but some of it didn't lure me in.  I thought the outside beautiful and restful.
