Van Metre Homes

Located in the town center of Brambleton, a master planned community near Washington DC, this townhome built by Van Metre Homes is a great example of how to incorporate colorful accents, whether it be throw pillows, accent furniture, bedding, or simply artwork and accessories! The vibrant splashes of turquoise, yellow and green add a ton of contrast and personality to this home. There's such a fun, summery feel to this home that I love!

Holly Hollingsworth Phillips

If anyone knows that color can make people happy, it's Holly Hollingsworth Phillips of The English Room out of Charlotte, North Carolina! And I know she has very happy clients living in this vibrant home, photographed by Dustin Peck for Peachy Magazine...every room is pure joy! Holly transformed the historic 1928 home, giving it a lighter, brighter and younger feel while reusing all of the furnishings from their previous home. I'm drooling over all of the lighting–my favorites being the kitchen ... View Post

I'm seriously loving all the bold color and fabulous ... View Post

There's nothing more appealing in the summer than living lakeside! Interior designer Bridget Loftus Gasque of Loftus Design in Charlotte, North Carolina brought the feel of the lake inside in this lovely home!
