Chic and glamorous - but not too over the top. A designers portfolio

I get tons of emails introducing the work of designers, but I am super glad I took the time to check out Rachel Reider's portfolio. Her work is chic and glamorous, but it's not so over the top that it's impossible to believe anyone lives there. I also like her use of neutrals paired with bright accents.



I normally don't feature children's rooms, but I really liked this one

*swoon* great staircase and entry


I ADORE this dining room. The cozy arrangement, the elegant fireplace

Two glamorous, unique spins on classic rooms

I want your opinion on these two renovations I found in House Beautiful. One is a kitchen that's decorated to feel more like a formal dining room. It's pretty neat - what do you think?

One side of the kitchen

The other side of the "kitchen"
This room is large so I think that's one major factor to this working. I really like the identical sideboards on either end of the larger table.

The second room I found is this rancher renovation turned into a modern open layout home.

What do you think?

A modern loft that still manages to be cozy!

This SOHO loft actually belongs to actress Claire Danes. While it's obviously been hyper-styled, or she just isn't there (ever), I do like the furniture, I just prefer smaller, private rooms. What do you guys think?



The rug makes a huge - and positive- difference. I'm also a sucker for evenly proportioned lamps on either side of the couch.

What would you do differently to those windows...?



I like the modesty of the bedroom
