Designs by Liz Caan

The latest issue of Ivy & Piper featured some beautiful spaced designed by Liz Caan. Liz Caan Interiors is located in Newton, Massachusetts, and even their storefront is amazing. I usually don't share rooms by designers unless I am inspired by a lot of work in their portfolio. Liz is one of those people. Let's take a look.

Isn't the outside of her studio gorgeous? That awning... *drool*

Here is the inside of her design studio. Wouldn't you love to work here? I know I would!

And look at this charming bedroom. I have these black and white pillows, and I see them featured everywhere! (Guess where they're from... Target! circa 2007)

This master bedroom is so sophisticated- a traditional space with just the right amount of contemporary elements.

This little boy's room is so sweet. I love the open storage and streamlined upholstered headboard... and the striped walls. Don't get me started on the striped walls.

What a cheerful entry! Hello, chevron stair runner. I would love to make you mine!

Are you as obsessed with these spaces as I am? Which is your favorite?

Guest Room Before and After-Healing Aloe

Here is a shot of the room in all of its coral glory. Great for a teenager, not for a soothing guest room. And here is the Healing Aloe after. Healing Aloe is a color by Benjamin Moore. It was hard to get a good shot of the true color, but it is more of a seafoam than gray. Aside from painting the walls and buying a new white quilt for the bed, everything else in the space we already had--most of which are hand-me-downs (bed and dresser) or thrift store finds (lamp and side table). It will all be sufficient for now, and hopefully a space that our guests will love. I'm very happy with the outcome and the progress of one more room in the house coming closer to completion. One down, three to go (at least in the painting department!)

Canopy Stripes

As I mentioned in a previous post, black and white canopy striped fabric is one of my current obsessions. It's classic, clean and oh so elegant. Not to mention that it can make a bold statement in a room without being too flashy. I normally favor a very neutral color palette with accents of greens and robin's egg blues, and this pattern could be put in any such setting and be beautiful. Here a few of my favorite examples: Is this room spectacular or what? It's modern, classic and sophisticated! There is a large amount of stripes in this room, yet it's not overbearing. And the symmetry and clean lines displayed throughout give the room great balance. I could just plop this room right into my house! This is another example (as shown in a previous entry). If you don't have the money to invest in a rug, buy a few pillows and get the same look in your room for a fraction of the price. Whoever said black and brown don't go together was seriously mistaken. Lo...

Our Living Room Mood Board

Our living room is slowly but surely coming together. The biggest To Do's are ordering a new media console, painting the room (which is unfortunately open to the dining room, kitchen, office and breakfast area which means lots of painting to be done!), order a few lamps and a console for the long wall behind the couch. I realize I haven't shared any pictures of our "new" house (we moved in at the end of last October) with you guys. So here's a glimpse of the living room before we moved in. This is what you see when you walk in the front door. The dining room is on the left, the living room is straight ahead and the office on the right. A closer look at the living room. Florida loves their plant ledges...I do not. You win some. You lose some. I also want to replace the tile around the fireplace. A view from the back of the living room looking toward the front corner of the house. The room behind the half green wall is the o...
