Sophie Donelson's Habitation Inwards Floor Therapy

I was then excited when I saw that Sophie Donelson's..... [former "editor extraordinare"..... for House Beautiful magazine] domicile was featured on Apartment Therapy.  

I've been inward this concern for 25 years in addition to can't shout out back a fourth dimension when at that spot was this much ruckus over removing an editor. 

I met Sophie spell working on the Showhouse that was built inward Atlanta....you tin read virtually it here 
and she definitely has a playfulness virtually her that makes you realize why she was practiced at her job.  

We were ane calendar week away from the Oct 2018 opening political party of the Whole House Concept  [Sophie's baby] when the tidings broke virtually her difference in addition to to tell at that spot was an uproar in the pattern community is putting it mildly. 

  

She definitely pushed the limits alongside HB which was a formulaic traditional shelter periodical when she took over.....turning it into a fun "think exterior the box" pattern magazine.....featuring fresh immature designers.... lots of color....and inward my persuasion a to a greater extent than approachable design betoken of view.

Her domicile definitely has a curated.....collected look..... non a perfectly styled "designers home" which she clearly admits inward the article.  With ii boys she in addition to her hubby alive inward 1200 foursquare feet in addition to it definitely works.

I think you volition relish her whimsical style that inward my persuasion fits her ....like we're besties or something which is non fifty-fifty the slightest truth. 

The exterior of the Queens apartment.  So classic right?

The living room....looks similar at that spot is enough of infinite for ii boys to hang out....which is of import when living inward 1200 sq ft.

My favorite matter is the cut only about the windows which she painted a dissimilar color.  It is almost similar adding fine art but without taking upwardly visual space.  That carpet in addition to the white palm tree are pretty cool also.

This is the truthful pregnant of why layering alongside books, art, plants in addition to accessories aid to add together involvement to a space.  Study it people.....

The pencil inward the corner:)

The dining room looks similar it could double for a homework infinite also.  Love the wall of books....warms upwardly whatsoever surface area in addition to I institute myself looking to run into what she is reading #curious

She shared the earlier of the kitchen

Quite the difference huh?  Love the warmth the cabinet color brings.

One of her boys rooms....

Love the classic traditional bench nether the window!

It looks similar this story has enough of low-cal in addition to fifty-fifty though I am a "white wall gal"....I tin appreciate the deeper hues of the pastel colors she used.  

More low-cal inward this pretty bathroom....

The minor invitee room only sings alongside this Tilton Fenwick [Duralee] 

I select to portion alongside you that I had originally picked this cloth for the main sleeping room of the HB showhouse I worked on in addition to when I institute out that she had used it inward her family it made me only a petty giddy.

Even though 1200 foursquare feet of infinite seems minor [I alive inward 2200 sq feet] you popular off inward run inward NYC.....where infinite is at a premium.

Anyway....I thought you powerfulness relish a petty fanciful decor on  "fun friday" :)

Tonight I volition hold upwardly putting together 10 or to a greater extent than bloom arrangements for the shower....pray for me because I am clumsy every bit a four yr old alongside this crap.
