One of my go-to websites when I’m creating a design board is olioboard.com.  From time-to-time olioboard hosts design challenges where contestants submit virtual design concepts.  Currently they’re running a poolhouse design challenge.  It sounded like fun, so I decided to submit an entry.

Aesthetically, I wanted the room to be fun and whimsical with lots of vibrant colors.  I chose blues and greens to bring the colors of nature and the pool inside. Functionally, there were a couple of things to consider.  I wanted to ensure there was a sitting area meant for relaxing and getting a break from the sun; and I wanted to have an area where people could sit down and enjoy lunch or a snack.

So… here’s the final product…

What do you think?  If you like it, I’d love for you visit the site and vote for my space.

Thanks for all of the support!

A few weeks ago, I came across this beautiful Jonathan Adler table, and instantly fell in love.

This table is such a statement piece, it begs to have an entire space designed around it… and that’s exactly what I’ve chosen to do.  This beautiful table sets the tone for a contemporary and luxe space.

I’ve chosen a stone, cream and navy blue color palette to play off of the marble top and gold base.  Because the table is round and seats 6, I opted for chairs with low-profile arms. I really lucked out and found a beautiful chandelier that mimics the design of the table’s base. In order to not take any attention away from the table, I chose a simple sideboard in a stone color that will play off of the color in the marble table top.  Lastly, I found dishes, wallpaper and accessories that help complete the space. So here it is…

Clockwise from top left: 1. Wallpaper; Graham & Brown | 2. Rattan Charger; Crate & Barrel | 3. Dinnerware; Amazon | 4. Chandelier; Zinc Door | 5. Gilded Tray; Layla Grayce | 6. Framed Fabric; Layla Grayce | 7. Dining Chair; Zinc Door | 8. Dragon Serving Platter; All Modern | 9. Dining Table; Wayfair | 10. Sideboard; Dwell

Now that’s what I call fine dining!
