When Bunny Williams started decorating this Mediterranean-style villa in Palm Beach, there was one final goal-  the fifteen-year-old home should  “look settled, as it had always been there.”  The retired couple added a wing and re-did the pool and landscape.  Williams provided that forever look, but one that is relevant and up to date.  She brought in lots of 18th-century Italian antiques and combined them with current pieces.

Julie Paulino Design Designer Showcase Columbus, Ohio

Tonight is the opening gala of the Designer Showcase in the Columbus Museum of Art.  It’ll be lots of fun.  It will be open to the public tomorrow.  Here is a sneak peek of my space, which is the guest bedroom.  I created a room that has an eclectic yet sophisticated feel to it.  It’s full with all the things I love and have forever talked about in this blog- ikat, convex plaster mirrors, prints, canopy, etc.  I’ll do a full reveal another day when I have better photos.
