Ugh.  Half of the pictures I took are apparently too big to upload.  I really need to learn how to work my camera.  More from my trip to The Homestead in Hot Springs, VA.
The Great Hall (I think that is the name… this is the main drag, although I doubt George Washington called it the [...]

I have been having dreams about the IKEA Expedit bookshelf because I am dying to get it.

Ever since I decided it would be perfect for my office I have seen it popping up everywhere… this morning it was in The Washington Post Home section in the home of actress Ali Wentworth:

Outdoor Living

Spring is almost here and that makes me SO SO happy! With the coming of warmer weather I will be able to use my front yard more- so exciting!  I live in a townhouse with no backyard and a small- maybe 5 x 10 fenced in front yard.  Since I only moved in this past [...]

Me Quoted In The Post

by Julie Daniel on February 19, 2009

in Design

Today to my surprise I noticed I was quoted in the Washington Post Home Section.  In last week’s addition they had a small blurb on great movie decor, which inspired me to post some pictures on the great decor in the movie “Somethings Gotta Give.” {Here is the post.}
They asked readers to email in talking [...]

British Colonial- Possibly My Favorite Design Style

by juliemdaniel on January 30, 2009

in Design

“Inspired by exotic travel and gracious living, British Colonial infuses classic English style with tropical prints, patterns and textures. Dark woods and neutral fabrics create a warm base for bold motifs, cane weaves and accents in warm spice colors. The result is a setting of unhurried luxury and unmistakable island character.”

Container Store Envy

in Design

My heart stopped for a second when I saw The Washington Post Home Section mention the Elfa Mesh File Cart in today’s paper.  I have secretly wanted it for years but never felt I was adult enough to get it.  I don’t know if I am an adult yet but think I am about ready [...]

I have decided to slowly over the next few months post the details of my dream home.  I’m going to start with the kitchen, so here it goes!
My dream kitchen:
Countertops: it is a toss up between white marble or black soapstone.  But who says you can’t have both?  So I am thinking black soapstone counters [...]

Pine Straw!

by juliemdaniel on December 14, 2008

in Design

I just put down pine straw in my front yard (picture coming soon) to cover up the massive dirt pit that was there.  It is much cheaper and easier than putting down sod, and I just love the look of it.
Pine Straw is very common in the south and I think it has so much [...]

Favorite Thing: Subway Tile

in Design

I love love love Subway Tile.  It is just like normal tile except rectangular shaped, 3 inches by 6 inches and usually laid in a brick pattern.
It will for sure be the back splash in my dream kitchen- probably in a pale green color, or maybe in white with pale green walls.  It was very [...]

Don’t you just love beadboard?
Beadboard is one of my favorite things ever that is used in design.  I am at The Homestead for the weekend ( I know, poor me) and they use beadboard a lot on ceililngs which I love.
