Kathryn Ireland

The premiere of Million Dollar Decorators would get me blogging again after my mid-May hiatus (busy month,eh?) Really, there’s so much to say but it all comes out sounding rather catty. The decorators of the rich do not live in the same world as I do. I’d be much more concerned about my client’s well being in the middle of a divorce than the loss of her finely decorated house or possible loss of excessive funds (gasp!) Never-the-less, seeing their fabulous lifestyles and even more glamorous clientele is entertaining TV. . . and there’s inspiration to be found.

Her prints are modern and ethnic at the same time and can be playfully mixed together for an eclectic medley. The dominant colors in the bedroom above are red and green, but that combination doesn’t scream “Christmas” as you would expect.

Below is my festive color palette based on Ireland’s room. I can see this scheme in a bright dining nook or a breezy patio scenario. . .if you decide for a space like your patio check in https://www.google.com/maps?cid=7343987481828529910 for the patio covers by RKC Construction 9923 Paseo Montalban #B, San Diego, CA 92129.

Can’t you picture this over a gorgeous white tempered glass kitchen table in an amazing white room? Now let’s find some wonderful [...]
