J. Marx Atelier...(Made By Girl)

On this Friday, I bring you....

Jessica Marx runs a full service design company called J. Marx Atelier where she creates interesting, innovative, and thoughtful products and environments. She obviously has a great sense of style, always paying close ATTENTION TO DETAIL.... I love when designers have the ability pay attention to all the little things when designing a space. Very Important! PERFECTION!

I tend to do the same thing- it's something that takes skill & focus.  Jessica also writes a blog called, 'Life's Little Jems', mostly a lifestyle blog where she brings her readers daily inspiration from a designer's point of view! 

She's quite the entrepreneur, also opening an online shop by the same name, Life's Little Jems (The Shoppe).  How amazing are all the GOLD home accessories?!? 


Below, are some of my favorite pieces from her store, enjoy!

Kobie's Home in Australia...(Via Made By Girl)

How is everyone today? Tuesday is here & we have some great weather even though the wind is a bit crazy....how's the weather where you are?

Today I'm featuring Kobie's home. She's a blogger who lives all the way in Australia. Even though I've never visited AU, I have lots of Made By Girl customers who live there....So I'm very familiar with many parts of it!  Interestingly enough, Kobie SOLD her home on April 20th (about a week ago) so you're actually looking at the way she used to live....! 

She told me she describes her living style as modern & clean with a quirky edge!  She tends to look for interesting items to add to her home decor.  For me, I really love her courtyard especially the exposed brick walls....it looks so relaxing don't you think?

By the way you can also head over to Kobie's blog  Chic Girl Designs for more!  

Luisa's Bedroom by Angela Cunha...(Via Made By Girl)

I'm back! Sorry for the sudden disappearing act on my part...I had family in town & wasn't able to concentrate on my work for too long! I swear, I feel so behind on everything now. So much for playing tourist! Ha!  

However, thanks to all of you who commented on the GIVEAWAY (one post down) -it's not over yet so please enter. The WINNER will be selected on Monday April 25th! 

Today... I bring you a super CUTE bedroom that belongs to a young girl named Luisa. The pics were mailed to me by Angela Varela Cunha, a Portuguese Interior Designer who reads my blog. I couldn't be happier with what I saw!  

I'm always CURIOUS how other designers from around the WORLD design & decorate a space.  I tend to notice some subtle differences in style, color & even furniture which is always interesting! How about you?  Notice any differences?

Let her know what you like best & if it inspires you! 

 

 How cool are those pink striped walls??

Jane's Home Tour...(Via Made By Girl)

This Friday, I'm featuring Jane's home....she blogs over at Modern Jane Blog where you can catch her writing about design, inspiration & renovation projects within her own home! Her place is cozy & simple with a few splashes of color. 

I enjoyed this tour, especially the way she adorned all the items on her mantle...the ceramics are especially pretty!  I LOVE ceramics, I have some lots of different ones on my office bookshelf,  I just can't get enough! Ceramics tend to fill in small spaces really well..or balance things out.


I noticed she placed only white accessories on her mantle...normally, I wouldn't have thought of adding only all white accessories, but it really works here. The bar area is another area I loved with the bottles of San Pellegrino...how about you?

James Andrew's Living Room (Via Made by Girl)

For those of you heavily into fashion, you'll more than likely recognize this name..... James Andrew. He's an Interior Designer who also blogs on the popular blog, "What is James Wearing?"

New York Social Diary actually did an entire home tour of his place & WOW, I was really impressed with his style, especially his light blue living room!! 

He has an amazing zebra-skin ottoman which really compliments the wall color. The other pretty cool feature in his home is the halographic silver paper & how it lines the dining room ceiling....how's that for unique?! It's a bit DISCO, but definitely a unique feature that makes his home, his own.

If you'd like to see the entire feature & interview, jump over to NY Social Diary. I'm so inspired now....

Toronto Designer Jacquelyn Clark ..(Via Made by Girl)

For all those of you based out of Toronto, Canada... I want to introduce a talented, young Interior Designer named Jacquelyn Clark who also runs a blog called Lark & Linen. Jacquelyn is passionate about her work, which is a great recipe for success if you ask me. 

I'll let her describe a bit about herself and her design style (in her own words):

"I aim to provide spaces that simply make people happy. Spaces that people are excited to come home to. I love the mixture of elements - a little old, a little new... things that are a little unexpected, but still liveable and useable. Ones that invite people to come in, sit down, take their shoes off and stay a while. I love design in all shapes and forms; I always have and I always will.  I live and breathe it day in and day out."  

 Soooo in love with this blue & white powder room! I also like the yellow accents...
