Decorators and Designers F thru J

Hope you had a fun weekend, or at the very least restful! I meant for this post to go live last Thursday and somehow I failed. My bad. By the way, Captain America is definitely worth seeing, worth the $7, $8 or $9.50, for sure. Chris Evans was choice for the role, but I couldn't help but be a bit reminded of a jr. high /  early high school "semi-beau" I had. Of course, he didn't look like Captain America when he was 14 or 15. It was after he'd joined the Marines and I saw him on FB 15 years later that this happened. And that was a little weird. Alrighty then...!

So, without further delay…

Last week, I gave you the first installment of my favorite designers and decorators { A – E } . Today’s batch is F – J and I’ll give some of my favorite examples of their work. These are names that are both well known, the world over and the “new kids”, too!
Enjoy, mes amies!

{ Frank Roop }
He does such a nice job of mixing sleek modern and traditional finishes in his “couture” interiors.


{ Ginger Brewton }
No wonder she was named by House Beautiful as one of the 20 new designers to watch! I really like this home she’s done on Kiawah. She’s nailed the non-coastal, coastal look.


{ Hillary Thomas }
Most all of her designs are punched with cheeky, preppy touches. These two rooms kill me. The caning fabric used for roman shades is fantastic and that pagoda armoire- are you kidding me?!?! Come on Goodwill, hook me up!!



{ Kathryn Ireland }
You know her from MDD. But It was rooms like these that made me remember her name. This second image with the twin beds gets honorable mention for use of a William Wegman print!


 
{ Jonathan Adler }
His hyperactive use of brights and bold and dramatic styling always causes a splash. Definitely, not everybody’s taste, but no matter what your’s is, it’s obvious he has talent!
