Take A Tour Of Southern Living Magazine Idea House

This year’s Southern Living Magazine Idea House was built from the ground up in the Crane Island, Florida, 14 miles from Fernandina Beach.  The house is absolutely gorgeous, Interiors designed by Heather Chadduck Hillegas, Architecture by Historical Concepts’ Jim Strickland and Clay Rokicki, and construction by Riverside Custom Homes.  The decoration inside is elegant and classic but entirely livable with an emphasis on All American beauty.  I can move into this house and not change a thing.

It took me more than usual to upload all these images, but they are all so worthy that I wanted to make sure I wouldn’t leave one out.  The house has a resemblance to the Something’s Gotta Give’s house, but with a bit more on the classic modern side, with lots of browns, dark blue, ceiling beams, classic or antique furniture throughout and printed fabrics and wallpaper.  Read more about it at Southern Living Magazine.

Big Reveal: My Room For Columbus Designer Showcase

I’m thrilled to reveal photos of my room ” The Guest Bedroom Suite” for this year’s Designer Showcase which takes place at the Columbus Museum of Art.  I was one of a handful of Columbus based Interior Designers asked to participate in this year’s Showcase.  I’m very happy about how the room turned out.  Since it’s a guest bedroom, my priority was to create a space that was welcoming, inviting, and cozy while still sophisticated and uplifting.

As I have stated here in Belle Vivir blog for years, I’m a firm believer that living beautiful goes beyond the visual.  It’s a lifestyle where all the senses are at play.  Consciously or not, we are uniformly influenced by our surroundings, from our choices in food, fashion, and home decor, the things we surround ourselves with influence our moods and emotions daily.  On that line, this room was designed with that in mind. It is furnished with furniture that is not only comfortable but also timeless.  The overall look of the space is timeless.

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.

Julie Paulino Design Bedroom For 2019 Designer Showcase

As I briefly mentioned before, I’m participating in this year’s Designer Showcase at the Columbus, Museum of Art and I’m very excited about it.  I’m creating the Guest Bedroom Suite and I couldn’t be more pleased with the design I came up with.  I wanted to create a bedroom that felt casually elegant with a livable sophistication where guests felt comfortable and at ease.  The color scheme I chose- green, taupe, gray, and a bit of pink here and there, is coincidentally suitable to welcome Spring.

My inspiration came from the desire of having a bedroom which can provide guests everything they need during their stay.  From a sitting area where they can read or enjoy a drink, a desk where they can do some work or write a note, to of course a comfortable bed with luxury bedding where they can enjoy a good sleep.  The overall aesthetic of the bedroom is ingrained with classic lines and a modern sensibility that reflects my Chic Comfortable Spaces signature style.

All proceeds support Wonder School and other creative initiatives.  To learn more about 2019 Designer Showcase, please visit the Columbus Museum of Art.
