Grateful

Imagine my surprise, when recently traveling in Norway, to open my email to this!!  A recent Bryant Park Designs project highlighted in the Address "Room to Love" feature of The Boston Sunday Globe.

We knew Eileen Woods was writing the article 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!

You can read the entire article here including sources for the fabrics, furniture and art!

Thank you to the Boston Globe, and photographer Michael Lee, for featuring our work twice since our inception (see our first feature here).  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.

Cheers!
Becky and Deb

Catching Up With Million Dollar Decorators in the New Year

Happy New Year!  Hope it's off to a great start!  How did you ring in the New Year?!

I hunkered down on the 1st to catch up on Million Dollar Decorators - mainly to check in on Lindsay Lohan, who was rumored to make her debut in the name of redecorating her rented Beverly Hills pad with Kathryn Ireland...

It's nice to watch Lindsay on New Years Day, because as you make your resolutions for bettering your life in 2013 (or beating yourself up for habits of 2012), you can undoubtedly feel somewhat assured that you're presumably not as continually wasted, broke, jailed, behind in taxes, or generally f-ed up as she is.

Aside from that revelation, there wasn't much to see - but stay tuned for the "reveal" on next week's season finale - minus Lindsay, apparently, who walked out on the whole thing.

More interesting was the Nantucket beach house renovation taken on by Jeffrey Allen Marks.  In a classic moment, the client informs JAM that she'd like the project to be completed using furnishings entirely sourced from catalogs.  He stares blankly, and she encourages, "you know, catalogs... they come in the mail?"  The results aren't half bad!

JAM was too busy catalog shopping to partake in the Greystone Showhouse labored over by other Million Dollar Decorators Martyn Lawrence Bullard, Mary McDonald, and Kathryn Ireland in the previous episode.  Despite finding him kind of hard to watch (dahling!), I loved Bullard's showhouse master bedroom...

Though I can't say his collection for Schumacher really grabbed me when it debuted, the fabrics looked amazing in his room.  I especially loved the paisley on the walls...

Did you see the adorable shots from the winner of Schumacher's "Show Us Your Schumacher" contest?  

Beautiful baby aside, don't you just love how the designers used two, sometimes three different fabrics to treat these wing back chairs?

Lauren from Pure Style Home used a similar technique on these chairs for a Washington D.C. showhouse...

You can count on Chairloom to show us an fabulous before and after!

But this look needn't be reserved just for wingbacks....

Hope you had a great weekend!
