JEFFREY BILHUBER...OH YES...the man knows his DETAILS!!! One of the most daring, attentive and creative designers I have seen in a WHILE! The man is a genius! I just love everything he does.
BOLD COLORS...but of course he NEVER forget the details! Look at the bottom of the armless chairs...LOVE the scalloped edge!
Here is another room with the scalloped chairs! I also love the bold shots of purple in the pillows...and of COURSE the peacock!!!!
I love this painted floor...it is just great! And while most of this room in neutral...the bright orange sofa with the LUSH purple chair just makes this space!
Now here is my FAV detail from Jeffrey...NAILHEAD!! The mixing of the jumbo and small nailhead with the tape trim at the bottom of the chair...AMAZING!
And the COLOR mixing?!?! The man exudes CONFIDENCE!! I love the light blue, bright orange and light pink combo!!
Well...it is no surprise why I really love this room...you all KNOW I cannot resist ANTLERS!!! And I am starting to think orange might be my new FAVORITE color!! Give me an orange, high gloss ceiling ANY day ;) And have NO fear...when you don't have paneling...he will just use nailhead to create it!
Another shot of the room. I really love how he completely takes away from the TV! We all want them...but who wants to have them stick out like a sore thumb???
The nailhead...it is just such a classic detail! And completely AMAZING in this room! This room is one of my FAVS because of all the texture and depth he creates even in a neutral setting. THIS shows off exactly how GOOT Jeffrey really is at design!
OK...remember how I said he was daring?!?!? OHHH yes...this is DE GOURNAY wallpaper (which equals EXPENSIVE)!!! And he hired an artist to come in a FLING gilded paint on it! I mean...you have to have a LOT of confidence to do something like that!!!
Here is a close up...
(and he still manages to get some great color in with the orange chair fabric, purple and blue shirts and pink tie...LOVE this man ;)
NOW this is not one of my favs...but there are a few details that I absolutely LOVE!!! The bird prints...DUH ;) And who doesn't love a blue/green combo?!?!? I even love how he threw in this great brick red color in the lamps and bongo stools.
And last but not least...my ABSOLUTE favorite!!! This room is just PURF (a little word I have picked up from my trip here to the lovely Montgomery, AL)!! I love the black details throughout the room. I also love how he puts in this punch of green in the palm leaves...GENIUS! I also love the white details...skin ottoman in front of the purple chairs, pillow in the brown wing back chair, and of course the coral and crystal pieces on the tables. MAN...I just LOVEST this room!!!!
Well...it is time to get the day started!!! I am here in Montgomery, AL with the amazing Mrs. Rachel Halvorson installing some draperies for a client!! I can't WAIT to get started so we can see the final product...which will OF COURSE be amazing ;))
Happy Saturday everyone!
Oh, he's a unique designer. Others don't usually use those extra-ordinary color combinations! Some people might be surprised, however, that bright orange can be mixed with purple! That room is my fave so far. Both sofas accentuated the room perfectly. I bet anyone who enters that room would stare at the details for a long time! :D
