Colour story

November 21, 2017

Just a little while ago on Instagram I posted my colour story, the shades I wear that I am most comfortable in and make me feel my best. I also wanted to know what yours were.. a lot of you said navy, black + grey so with the SHOPBOP buy more | save more event going on now I figured it was a great time to round up some of your favourite shades that fall into this group!

There couldn’t be a better time to buy ( and save on!! ) a Smythe blazer, it’s an iconic piece that you will wear forever! I’m obsessed with the tie sleeve on this sweater and this cardi has the perfect slouchiness!

This dining room is insane, it stops me in my tracks. Bold navy on creamy white, marble, rich metals and fur- stunning.

project downey | edesign additions

November 18, 2014

Moving right along in Client C’s master bedroom, I just pulled together some ideas for a dresser and night stand combination. C loves gold and these little West Elm side tables fit the space perfectly and are drop dead gorgeous! Adding a tufted bench to the end of the bed either in beige linen or this navy shown, and a mix of some new accessories for the dresser..

Here’s what we started with >>

and now with todays additions.. I just love the direction this room is taking! Next we’re going to look at rug options and art placement!

E Design | Master bedroom | Client C

Wanted | a place to unwind at the end of the day

Loves | neutral color palettes with hints of color. Comfy, serene and cozy. Neutrals, dark blue and gold..

Here’s the room now>>

Client C has a fabulous start on achieving the look she wants, the room already feels serene and cozy! Here are my initial thoughts for this space-

My thought was to start by adding some layers for texture, color and warmth.. Client C is hoping to fit in a vanity in the space and pairing one with a clear ghost chair won’t visually take up a lot of space in a smaller room. In this board we were looking at using the vanity as a side table and pairing a small accent table on the other side. Three lamp options, all really adding a great dynamic and feel to the space. Pillows in wonderful textures and tones paired with white bedding make her gorgeous headboard stand out! Fun additions like agate, a morroccan pouf and a gorgeous fur rug are key pieces that add to the overall feel.

Client C has looked over these initial ideas and loves them! The vanity I thought maybe could work as a side table just won’t fit, but she has room in another spot and actually has a piece she can spray in a lacquered white finish :) So now I’ll be on the hunt for side tables, a dresser and additional pieces to bring this room together! Client C has some art she’s collected that we’re going to look at adding, I’m excited to see what she has..

I’ll update soon with progress,

Sheena Murphy has killer style. I say it every time I mention her name :) Her DUMBO Brooklyn NY apartment was recently featured on Apartment Therapy and the entire space is just brilliant.
