In addition to our continued client work in the Greater Boston area, in March we enjoyed carrying out a 1960s design theme for an annual fundraising event for the <a href="http://www.wfee.org/" target="_blank">Winchester Foundation for Educational Excellence</a>. </div>

We knew Eileen Woods was writing <a href="http://www.bostonglobe.com/2014/08/22/winchester-room-design-classic-with-twist/Iii1qE10HUQPM6MaofLY0O/story.html" target="_blank">the article</a> but had no idea how prominent the feature would be! Here is the original photograph by Michael J. Lee. Truth be told, this is the front room in Deb's home and we couldn't be happier to have our work recognized and featured!<br />

Thank you to the Boston Globe, and photographer Michael Lee, for featuring our work twice since our inception (see our first feature <a href="http://www.bostonglobe.com/magazine/2012/09/15/updating-winchester-colonial/uUwar8JhntbABXpqAowiWM/story.html" target="_blank">here</a>). When we started Bryant Park Designs four years ago, we had no idea how it would take off, and are nothing but grateful for all the support.<br />

I first saw this image in <a href="http://bostoncommon-magazine.com/" target="_blank">Boston Common</a> magazine and thought it was simply charming and would make an awesome focal point for my 4 year old's "big boy" room. <br />
<br />
As I quickly scanned the article I thought I read that it was <i>actually painted by an elephant</i> and then I thought it best to put down the glass of chardonnay and go to bed.<br />

Turns out I don't need to put down the chardonnay after all :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This was
actually painted by an elephant on paper made from elephant dung. Ick! After I got over that, I went to the <a href="http://www.elephantart.com/catalog/mission.php" target="_blank">Asian Elephant Art and Conservation Project</a>
website and read that this program was started in Thailand to help keep
elephants minds active in captivity. </div>

The caretakers noticed that the
elephants would often pick-up a stick and doodle in the dirt and decided
to take it a step further and retro fit paint brushes to be held with
their trunks. <br />

I am hoping this painting with the "sold" stamp has been bought by my hubby, for here is the room I would design around it!<br />

Fascinating! The exhibit "<a href="http://bostoncommon-magazine.com/channels/living/insights/peabody-showcases-artist-animal-collaborations" target="_blank">Beyond Human: Artist-Animal Collaborations</a>"
will be at the Peabody Essex Museum beginning October 19. The profits
from the sale of these paintings go to help care for these elephants.<br />
<br />
Cheers!<br />

Of course, upon reading I realized that this is a brand new, ocean front condo building in Swapscott and the show house is in one of the much more manageable 3K square foot units.<br />

The house is open until October 7th with 100% of the proceeds going to benefit the Boston Children's Hospital. So go!! You get to see great design and donate to a great cause.<br />
<br />
And if you go - report back! We'd love to hear from you!<br />

The nights are cool and there is a distinct, crisp, fall feeling in the air. I long for the recently past summer days spent on the beach! Thankfully we have the antidote! Take a look at these stunning beach photographs of <a href="http://www.christianchaize.com/" target="_blank">Christian Chaize</a>:<br />

These incredible works of art are the result of eight years of visiting the same beach in Portugal. Mr. Chaize returned over and over again to the same vantage point to capture the changing tides, light, weather and people. The photographs are incredible and are so versatile - they would be great in numerous settings. Here are some of my favorites!<br />

A couple of days ago, strolling around my twins' elementary school, I happened upon a bulletin board showcasing their "Cubist Self-Portraits". Apparently, from what I could squeeze out of them, the assignment involved painting themselves twice - each time portraying a different emotion (happy, surprised, excited), cutting them up, and pasting the various pieces together. What a brilliant assignment, and I just love the results... so much that I could picture a room designed around the final products...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's Ellie's... it's very <i>her</i>, especially the heart on her chest that apparently made its way into both self-portaits (as it should have!). I love the dark lashes and eyebrow; ironic as hers are so blonde they're invisible (a couple of years ago she lamented, "I'm the only girl in kindergarten with no eyebrows!").</div>

Then last night, after I heard of socialite turned designer Lily Pulitzer's passing, I logged on to take another look at her <a href="http://www.leejofa.com/fabrics/leejofa/leejofa_fabrics_lilly_pulitzer.htm" target="_blank">collection at Lee Jofa</a> and found this.... It's called Lily Lace, and it's perfect...<br />

Lee Jofa launched the collection a couple of springs ago, and it's full of quintessentially Lily fabric - perfect for a beach house!</div>

Smart, gracious, and a sense of humor - I knew she'd be fun to work with. <br />
<br />
She wanted something not too modern or geometric, but also not too flowery. Simply a calm escape where she can relax at the end of the day. This design center wallpaper is just lovely and has totally transformed the room. <br />

The coordinating fabrics are used sparingly to compliment the wallpaper without over powering it. An ivory linen for the drapes with a lovely velvet accent, along with a large floral pattern and a smaller scale, more geometric floral pattern will round out the fabric selections. <br />

My ebay kitchen chairs have finally gotten the boot. The kids' fighting over who has to sit in the "surprise" chair (the surprise being falling through the seat bottom on to your arse) has gotten too much. Enter the set of six Lillian August chairs my mom procured from her church rummage sale, perfect save the upholstery of the seat cushion.</div>

The foundation is firmly in place. We have the three area rugs, couch, end tables, lamps, and lighting. And are now at the point of pulling it all together. I think sometimes people forget that design is a process with multiple layers. It's not about just buying new furniture! <br />

I cannot get enough of my new West Elm rug. Yep, you don't need to spend a fortune to make a statement!

Owned by <a href="http://www.townandcountrymag.com/" target="_blank">Town and Country</a> editor-in-chief Jay Fielden and his family, this unique, mid-century home was nearly destroyed by a 2010 electrical fire. Fortunately, while much of the contents were lost, architect <a href="http://www.robertdeanarchitects.com/" target="_blank">Robert Dean</a> and designer <a href="http://www.carrierandco.com/home.php" target="_blank">Jesse Carrier </a>were able to rebuild, and I think the results are just spectacular...</div>

I love so much of this image - of course the natural light, the dichotomy of the industrial steel beams versus the classic wing-back chair, the casual layering of carpets, and the restrained use of color and pattern...<br />

Never ending, because like the saying goes, "the cobblers kids have no shoes"!<br />
<br />
One of the things I have purchased are end tables. I first spotted this little cutie on Joss and Main. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0RIve6pwSyZbanRHEHBDs898jEJMb251nbrdGX7rW7I03DCf8QPzQ-Vto6u6VgO1hmV2VZhuG92Ib60p9EKw-7XvVHgimewhS1bTD_02ZlKijGSUzutzD7llN5g8NaOh5Y_MH6ywju3v0/s1600/larktable.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0RIve6pwSyZbanRHEHBDs898jEJMb251nbrdGX7rW7I03DCf8QPzQ-Vto6u6VgO1hmV2VZhuG92Ib60p9EKw-7XvVHgimewhS1bTD_02ZlKijGSUzutzD7llN5g8NaOh5Y_MH6ywju3v0/s320/larktable.jpg" width="309" /></a></div>
<br />
It was love at first sight, but it was not inexpensive at $330. It was more than I wanted to spend on a side table. But given that I had spent WAAAAAY less than I budgeted for rugs, I figured I had a little wiggle room for the end table. The table arrived a few days later and I absolutely loved it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjzLIU8rsShMFq7TIsk9OT5B5FUs_4HCbtkN4_i1uDm4k3YmXJZlr4zdFq5F25WFWHqimQwY32OJIVoe00uX9Sl0S3E7seENj5Z4L_kjnaQ6Hu6HT1AuCv9ERRd2vDaj5s9QqWo5ciONR4/s1600/DSC_0204.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjzLIU8rsShMFq7TIsk9OT5B5FUs_4HCbtkN4_i1uDm4k3YmXJZlr4zdFq5F25WFWHqimQwY32OJIVoe00uX9Sl0S3E7seENj5Z4L_kjnaQ6Hu6HT1AuCv9ERRd2vDaj5s9QqWo5ciONR4/s400/DSC_0204.jpg" width="252" /></a></div>
In fact, we loved it so much that we decided we HAD to have a matching set (heaven forbid!).<br />
<br />
Panic set in! The table was originally purchase on a "flash sale" sight for a "deal". Surely there must be another table some where in this world?!? After a quick web search, I found it on Overstock. And get this... it was on sale and $100 less. I couldn't believe it and I am now the proud owner of a pair. <br />
<br />
But wait, it gets better. Seriously.<br />
<br />
Last week, I was perusing one of my favorite design blogs <a href="http://blog.houseoffifty.com/" target="_blank">House of Fifty by Janell Beals</a> (and if you haven't seen her online magazine <a href="http://www.houseoffifty.com/" target="_blank">House of Fifty,</a> it is a MUST!) to see <a href="http://blog.houseoffifty.com/2013/02/upscaling-target-side-table.html" target="_blank">her DIY makeover of an inexpensive $49 table from Target</a>. Look familiar?<br />

The latest issue of <a href="http://www.coastalliving.com/" target="_blank">Coastal Living</a> features a fabulous kitchen designed by Dana Small for her sister-in-law's Lake Michigan home. I love the white on white, paired with the tile backsplash in greens, and the oh-so-subtle aqua ceiling color. </div>

But, it's the island pendants that provide the real wow factor for me in this space. Made by <a href="http://www.juliska.com/" target="_blank">Juliska</a>, these pendants are mouth blown in the hills outside of Prague...</div>

It was Hollywood's big night, with early mixed (actually kind of terrible) reviews of the red carpet and the hosting chops of Seth MacFarlane. Since I've only actually seen one of the nominated movies (<i>Argo</i>, on a plane last weekend), I paid more attention to trends in attire than in anything else.</div>

No awards event is complete without a bazillion LBDs... and I noticed more than a few black dresses with striking (and that doesn't always mean good) geometric patterns created through metallic contrast. My favorites were Norah Jones and Stacey Keibler, while I despised Hallie Berry's (ugh, are those shoulder pads?) and Nicole Kidman's (just bad and weird).</div>

The celebrities all dressed up - the most exciting ones as walking bill boards for Harry Winston with all that sparkly bling!<br />
<br />
But I have to admit, the show is a bit of a let down for me as half the time I don't even recognize the names of the movies that have been nominated. I know...I am terrible!! But the one thing I do look forward to seeing is the green room. <br />

This year <a href="http://madelinestuart.com/" target="_blank">Madeline Sturart</a> was selected for the honor. Her inspiration for the room is the art director <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0316539/" target="_blank">Cedric Gibbons</a> who retired with almost 1500 films including The Wizzard of Oz. He is also credited with creating the coveted Oscar statuette.<br />
