Lavender Dream Living Room

While on the subject of Eileen Kathryn Boyd and pastels this week, let's discuss this bananas lavender adventure of a living room designed by EKB for, what I think, is a Traditional Home Holiday showhouse (can someone verify this?):

Where do you start with a space like this? The emerald green is the perfect touch to Eileen's use of various shades of lilac, lavender and orchid. And I love just a peek of aqua in the chair and how the room is grounded with taupe.

Note the painted panels, or is it framed wallpaper? Either way, what a genius way to decorate the walls that adds both color and texture and could really be a crazy wonderful DIY project that would be a lot easier then painting every inch of your wall in a watercolor pattern or wallpapering a whole room.

I also like the ottoman and parsons coffee table combo - perfectly versatile to move both pieces around.

What a breathtaking space...my word!

Tempest by Eileen Kathryn Boyd for Duralee

I found a great deal on one of Eileen Kathryn Boyd's fabrics for Duralee. It's called Tempest and is so unusual and gorgeous. I own this fabric in dune and pool (bought elsewhere) and they are terrific in person.

Fabric.com has four colorways for $24/yd!

Pool

Dune

 Amethyst

Buttercup

The pattern reminds me of stylized seaweed...it's edgy and unique. Like I said, really pretty in person and all four colorways are stunning.

I find that when fabric.com has a good deal on high-end fabric like this, it's a limited quantity and sells out relatively quickly and doesn't come back in stock. Just a heads up!

Fabric Crush: Eileen Kathryn Boyd for Duralee

Y'all, Eileen Kathryn Boyd has designed a plethora of fabric for Duralee. And it would be incredibly false for me to say that I have one favorite. So I'm showing you a couple below, mostly because they feature the chicness of orange, but you need to set aside some time today and sift through everything that is available. You will die. Promise.

Thanks to Lonny, I've met designer Eileen Kathryn Boyd. She's responsible for the amazing Christmas tree that was my Friday Crush.

EKB is based in New York and loves color. And I love her spaces.

Designer Eileen Kathryn Boyd

I'm always most enamored with designers that make color look sophisticated. They prove what I already know, and do it so well. EKB is certainly one of those designers. 

I'll stop talking now. Pictures:

And of course I am not overlooking her careful use of Chinoiserie pieces throughout her work. EKB has one of the better websites in the design world worth a tour - check it out here.
