WATCH >>> Marriage Under Construction

Rodney & Natalie

I've added another to my list (which already includes Sarah's House & Income Property) of favorite Canadian Home Shows, after catching an episode of Marriage Under Construction. This TV series was shot for Canadian HGTV back in 2010. Real life married couple Rodney and Natalie are followed by cameras as they navigate the new home owner process.... finding a home, buying it, renovating it from top to bottom, and moving in. Rodney, a Toronto based chef, wanted to completely transform the original kitchen.... Watch the video below for more.

House Beautiful magazine included Edelman as one of their "12 Design Visionaries to Watch in 2012" in the DEC '11/JAN '12 issue, atHOME magazine features a Q&A with Edelman, and the APR '12 issue of House Beautiful includes the awe inspiring interiors of his Ridgefield, CT (my hometown) home.

Inspiration STYLE

Interiors Images Lonny

The MAR/APR 2012 issue of Lonny Magazine features the 2 bedroom apartment that interior designer Anna Burke shares with her sister in NYC's West Village. Burke layers a style of high & low furnishings, pattern, and interesting accessories set against a clean white backdrop. Taking inspiration from her design, I have pulled together some pieces currently available on Atlanta's Craigslist that translate a similar look -- click on the links found below for details.....

Starting at the top left corner....  In the living space, Anna Burke sits alongside a vintage gold finish bar cart. Her dining room table is a glass top with simple metal frame chairs (CL posting needs reupholstery). A sphere chandelier hangs from the ceiling. A decorative lamp sits on top of a nail trimmed end table. She has selected a vintage rattan sofa & chair set (CL posting needs reupholstery). Interesting wall items include a feather headdress, original artwork & photography, and a starburst style mirror. A tiered & floating coffee table and vintage trunk are placed alongside a graphic print rug. And in the bedroom, Anna has chosen to upholster the headboard in an ikat fabric. 

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
