Trad Home Pretties

I'm a little behind on my reading, and while I'm catching up, I had to share these images from the Spring 2015 Trad Home (the cool, online little sister to Traditional Home).  They featured 10 rising stars of design, which had me taking notes!

My real-life notes:

• Internet Stalk everything by Chenault James Interiors.  

Chenault James is an awesome name.  So awesome, it must give her magical powers to read my mind and create the bedroom of my dreams.  Kind of awkward that it was for someone else, but I'll let it slide since we all get to see it.

I would make this bathroom my room that no one is allowed to go in.  It looks so quiet and peaceful.  What a lovely place to start and end the day.

Adorable little boys' bedroom!! It's hard to do classic and whimsical at the same time.  This is perfect!

• Formula for my perfect bedroom = Leontine Linens + Spitzmiller lamp + pleated lampshade sconces + soothing color palette + a little floral + a few things that make you happy.  

Elle Clymer and Stephanie Woodmansee of Henry & Co Design nailed it in the bedroom below.

• Ok to do the pool/water pic in the bathroom that you've been wanting to do forever.  Just do this whole bathroom.  

I love so many things about this bathroom by Jen Going - the mix of glass tile and marble, the shell mirrors and the incredibly relaxing pool photograph above the bathtub.

• Petition the City of Leawood to allow white fences in front of our homes, butcher block half of our island, marble and millwork everything, find somebody to draw me a bath 

I would totally walk-stalk* this house belonging to designer Kristin Paton. 

*where you pretend to go for a walk for exercise, but really you are just checking in on your favorite houses.

Well done, Trad Home.
