sarah richardson: neutral awesomeness

1.

Color me neutral...

s a r a h  r i c h a r d s o n

always

gets me right here

*points to heart*

with her graciousness,

and her purity

and her love for

quiet colors i also love.

SR makes me feel a little better about the fact

there is presently a sectional in my living room...

i am not a sectional girl, but i am married

to a sectional boy.

Omg i could get work accomplished in this room!

i just know it!

9.

I have lived mainly with quiet neutrals

since 2004 maybe because I

work at home and spend so much

time here that I need the surroundings

to feel calm rather than energized.

(The only drawback is when friends visit, everybody falls into a semi-coma

state and cannot bear to lift a finger--and don't even get me started

on my teenagers (a little something i wrote last year)! We should call it AMBIEN HOUSE.)

sarah richardson: 3 GORGEOUS rooms

S A R A H

R I C H A R D S O N

recently experimented

with reverse engineering.

('Cause she's sassysmart

 like that.)

With brother Theo Richardson,

Sarah participated in a Sibling Revelry exhibit,

designing three rooms each inspired

by a product or color from

Theo's NY based product design team

Rich, Brilliant, Willing.

Today is about how to have fun

with color, vintage flair,

and modern design.

Revelry moment no. 1:

A glorious

YELLOW BEDROOM.

We're seeing shiplap siding,

wainscoting, and paneling paneling paneling

everywhere in design these days,

and I LOVE it all.

It's so so Sarah!

And I'm thinkin Janet Hill

should paint this vignette!

(Or Anne or Aimless Olive or Nick!)

Coveting these trophy cups?

There are some on sale here.

SR never misses a moment

to inject "happy factor."

Revelry moment no. 2:

A work and play

BLUE DEN.

SR made this inspiration board even more

beautiful and special by lighting it.

Meet me in the polar bear room for a

blueberry-tini, k?

Already created some similar + pillows,

but this one inspires MORE!

Loving these chairs!

Revelry moment no. 3:

A little

RED DINING 'hood.

And by 'hood I mean a cheery,

charming, eclectic locale in which

to host the homies.

Do you like the mishmash of chairs?

What is more at home in a red dining room

than VIN ROUGE????

This vignette has a decidedly

SR meets Anthropologie

meets bistro magic, yes?

Look at the gorgeous baguettes

in that cart and

all the fabrics

on the comfy chair!

BRAVO SIBLINGS!

Way to revel.

Which room do you fancy?

a brand new loo

architectural digest

The time has arrived

for us to get to work

on a new bath so I'm

gathering inspiration and sketching.

It will be a Jack & Jill

and will not have a window

so we need it to be bright

and airy.

Also we need it to not cost

100 grand like these.

Ahem.

Design Inc.

was a fabulous TV show

featuring

Sarah Richardson

and a team of designers.

The show launched after 'Room Service'

and before 'Sarah's House.'

How cheerful is this nursery?

Anybody else remember this

fantastic episode featuring a yurt?

Yes, a yurt.

Google it.

No kidding.

Inside the yurt!

it's awfully fun
