Good evening all,
I'm sure we're all busy salivating over the most recent publication from House Beautiful. I love that wonderful apartment by the ever-groovy and stylish Miles Redd. But, easily my favourite article is the "One Day Makeover." Jonathan Rosen so clearly exhibits the great power of careful styling, editing, and having a 'fresh eye.'
The complete transformation, step-by-step, is available here, but if you want to cheat and cut straight to the big reveal - simply scroll down . . .
are you sure your ready for this . . . . .
Bright, Balanced, Beautiful
Jonathan's top 10 for a one-day makeover
1. Mantel: Make it a focal point.
2. Artwork: Look for pairs, trios, and groupings.
3. Lamps: Evenly distributed, and don't forget dimmers.
4. Rug: Use it to define a seating area.
5. Pillows and Throws: Bring in more layers of color and texture.
6. End tables: Think of every surface as a potential tablescape.
7. Bookcases: A showcase for objects as well as books.
8. Mirrors: More light!
9. Ottomans or Stools: Versatile extra seating.
10. Plants: Every room needs a touch of green.
