the bachelor pad continues...

We have just completed designs for our Bachelor's smart, sleek and comfortable master bedroom.  The design concept was to keep with his contemporary aesthetic, but to warm it up a bit and add lots of texture.  Streamlined furniture, a neutral palette and an accent of blue (Benjamin Moore's "Bachelor Blue" to be exact) create a stylish retreat for our client.

vendor highlight | john derian

We all know John Derian, decoupage genius.  But we at JMI have recently visiting the glass tray maker's website to find a world of goods.  Good goods.  From the traditional decoupaged items (paperweights, trays, wall hangings, lamps, etc) to ephemera, moroccan poufs and rugs, art, and even a John Derian upholstered furniture line.

If you are in New York City... visiting his flagship store is must-do on your shop/explore/eat list!

by the yard

A source that we frequently refer to here at JMI is the upholstery yardage guide to buying fabric.  We have never met a client that didn't have an existing piece of furniture that with a little love could be transformed into something beautiful.  There is a world of opportunity out there for grandma's chairs to become something stylish.  A fresh coat of paint and a striking fabric is all it takes.

Below is our go-to chart for upholstery yardages, and a few before/after examples we found to inspire you!  Happy snow day!!!!

super bowl super party!

Iced in again!  We bunkered down in our home office today and knocked out a quickie design for our newest client, a Dallas doctor (and bachelor!... ladies?).  He requested fast-paced living room designs in hopes of it being complete for his Super Bowl bash this Sunday!  JMI worked with a few of his existing contemporary pieces of furniture and created a new design that ties in comfort and color.
