Kitchen Trends To Watch In 2015

New Master Reveal: Before & After!

This reveal isn't quite as finished as I had anticipated it would be (I still had plans to add swing arm style library lamps and hang some wall accessories), but since we decided to move last week, this is as done as it will be! Here's what we first started with three years ago: <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2Lrq3Lq-dGc0d6PeG5R65TDW4z9wXCdRSUxw6eceDLXNMpaQeKmuIO9BCRa8SgghMqGE7iz1gkdf3_M5A6Rv6aBFMhsfknDe8HggmjjHMyjvARHg9uc_0IggDtEvXP-erQIvMhU2RE5tb/s1600/IMG_2120.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

New Master Reveal: Before & After!

A Designer To Love

<blockquote>   During the last story I showed a bright family room designed by Schuyler Samperton – a well known decorator in Los Angeles.  You might already be very familiar with Samperton, but for those who aren’t, I wanted to share images from her beautiful portfolio.  For years Samperton’s web site was a stagnant place, but that all changed just a few years ago when she debuted her new internet site.  It’s been a real thrill to see her updated work, most of which had never been seen before.  Her portfolio has grown with her and her work is fabulous – it’s fresh and new, but it’s steeped in the classics.  Her rooms are warm and welcoming at the same time – everything that a house should feel like. To review – it was Samperton’s own apartment that garnered her initial burst of popularity.  She started out working for the mega star Michael Smith, along with another designer.  Both left and started their own firm.  Today, Samperton is now solo.   Her stint with Smith clearly made a lasting impression on her work and you can see his influence in her designs – which is definitely a great thing.    Let’s look at her own apartment first – which garnered so much attention. <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-qlxf_ss4tFc/UkK1PCrZqWI/AAAAAAACB7s/6wazsvmE2Mo/s1600-h/schuyler-samperton-interior-design-west-hollywood-06%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQfDyA5WXnZGvxTXmScMWFBrOa7s4cNuln7mRxqavRizRKJbh27BjzeZDe3oLOADGGch87bVJSrRrY58NdVyCNSCPHu_PXtxaKWuZDZiKsUjU81vj6rGTA78QF81VY229IVCeHQ9QD0zZE/s1600-h/schuyler-samperton-interior-design-west-hollywood-06%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="schuyler-samperton-interior-design-west-hollywood-06" border="0" height="654" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-k-vRHv5SJgo/UkK1QyM6VuI/AAAAAAACB78/JYLEd5ay8uk/schuyler-samperton-interior-design-west-hollywood-06_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-top: 0px;

I hope you got some new ideas for decorating today – ideas for adding warmth and coziness in a room, ideas on how to fill out a room so it doesn’t look either empty nor cluttered, and ideas on how to mix and match textiles and fabrics in ways that aren’t too obvious.  Visit her web site <a href="http://www.samperton.com/">HERE.</a> And if you are inspired by Samperton’s style – be sure to visit Michael Smith’s web site.  He’s got some beautiful photographs of his portfolio – some old favorites and some new designs – <a href="http://www.michaelsmithinc.com/portfolio/">HERE</a>. </blockquote>
