The last couple of days have been exhausting! I firmly believe in working smart and not hard, but there are times when you just can't avoid the latter. I awoke yesterday morning at 1am and could not for the life of me get back to sleep! I had a nine o'clock meeting that ran over for my 11 o'clock meeting...yeah, who was I kidding; I live in Atlanta! Getting from one end of the city to the other within thirty minutes is not likely to happen on any day! But I digress; the day was terrific and I slept very well last night!
Speaking of sleep...this bedroom was featured in the House Beautiful Showhouse (Adamsleigh Estate), in Greensboro during the week of High Point Market. It was designed by Jack Fhillips of Jack Fhillips Design, Inc. of West Palm Beach, Fl. When you first walk into this bedroom you're immediately pulled in by the color palette and then the details!
Mr. Fhillips used a contemporary mix of furnishings from Polo Ralph Lauren (the bed, the chest, and two side tables). Among some of the other pieces were either antiques or one of a kind items from his studio. A couple of my favorites were the pair of chaises. I loved their profiles...I thought them to be very clean-lined and sophisticated. The nailhead details made them even more striking.
At this Market, Eastern Accents debuted their partnership with Scalamandre which resulted in the collection of several different product categories. One being the Le Zebre collection that features bedding and tabletop accessories in the black, white, and red color palette. If you were at Market, you couldn't help but see this! It was on the side of buildings, bags, magazines...literally everywhere!
The selection of artwork throughout the space was eye catching and added so much interest. There were pieces by Andy Warhol, Louise Nevelson, Robert Rauschenberg, and vintage restrikes of Picasso etchings. A real treat for anyone who appreciates art!
I didn't notice this at the time I was actually in the space, but I really like how the walls and ceiling are trimmed in black! It totally adds another dimension to the space and works so nicely with the established theme.
Not many pieces were without the zebra detail, as it is featured here on this bowl of apples. Isn't this chaise just perfect? It is Mr. Fhillips own design from his furniture collection with EJ Victor Company.
Also one of my favorite pieces was the chest by Polo Ralph Lauren. It truly is absolutely stunning with the silver hardware details. The red tray on top, along with the silver framed vintage photos made for a lovely and striking vignette. There was so much more to see in this incredible home! I'll see you back here again for more inspired rooms...
Make it AMAZING!

Oh my gosh! Since I didn't do my Happy May posting yesterday, please forgive me! You guys know how I feel about the beginning of each new month! I LOVE them! It's a brand new month to try to do better and get it right! My goal for the month of May is to truly LET GO AND LET GOD! For some reason, I just allowed the month of April to run me! Oooh but I can assure you, the month of May will have no such luck! I am in control of me and the direction I will go. I will yield only to the spirit of the Lord!
Now you really can...
Make it AMAZING!
