Lalique Interior Design Exhibit at Bloomingdale's with Kristine Mullaney Design


If you are in the Chestnut Hill area tomorrow night, stop by this gorgeous Lalique exhibit!

I was honored when Bloomingdale's contacted me to host this event, a couple weeks ago I received a private tour of the line on exhibit only till this Friday and it is spectacular! Below are a couple of my favorite pieces. I hope to see you!



I would love this on a really dramatic interior door -- maybe on a high-gloss black door or high gloss raspberry....


The Orgue Chandelier also featured in the below interior shot a stunning chandelier and even more impressive in person. Available in multiple tiers as well...

Charles in Charge -


Charles Spada, Kristine Mullaney - Hampshire House Boston - Charles Spada's discussion on the renovation of this home in Normandy, France






Recently I attended Charles Spada's discussion on his work to restore the 1652 Manoir de Berthouville with Historic New England's Ogden Codman Design Group. It was so amazing to see the before pictures of the this home, which was previously a hunting lodge and place for soldiers to slumber during the war and then home to a large family. Charles told us the about all the different characters in the process (French Contractors...seriously cannot imagine) who worked on the renovation/restoration. I only wish I had the before photos to show in the post -- to show the amazing transformation.


Charles is has been incredibly gracious and welcoming to me, he is a great Man, and ridiculously talented designer. To see more of his work look here - I love how he blends modern sensibility with antiques and other classic elements.

Also, he used to design women's clothing, so I love talking clothing with him as well :)

 I frequent his shop, Antiques on 5, for one of a kind unique accessories and Antiques -- because obviously he has amazing taste.  Here are some of my favorite finished photos of his project. 


Voila!

Friday Je T'aime: Kitchen Renovation - From Drab to Fab! Kristine Mullaney Design




Below are the before and after shots of kitchen, one part of a multiple room renovation that includes a Great Room, Dining Room, Upstairs Children's Bathroom and Foyer. The kitchen was totally gutted and entirely re-designed with new floors, cabinetry, appliances, lighting, hardware, plumbing fixtures window treatments, and furnishings.




For the kitchen, I selected reclaimed antique chestnut flooring. This environmentally friendly flooring has a lot of character and compliments the cabinetry.





Don't you love this oak pantry -- I love the combination of white cabinetry mixed with wood!

I chose a stool option similar to this upholstered counter stool. The large island comfortably seats three people. The stool will be upholstered in a durable duck cotton - the vibrant red color upholstery fabric compliments the red present in the flowers of the Celerie Kemble for Schumacher drapery fabric.

I selected this Celerie Kemble for Schumacher fabric, aptly named Hot House Flowers. The vibrant pattern packs a punch of color.

Chameleon Lighting pendant lights illuminate the counter space -- the cut crystal adds understated sparkle to the space! In person they are simply gorgeous....

The sinks and faucets are Waterworks, the cabinets are a designer resource and the hardware is from Cliffside Industries.



What would your dream kitchen look like? We would love to know!!
