In the works....

Kristine Mullaney Design

This past spring I finished a major renovation of this Wellesley home, with Steve Deering from Catamount Builders

Here are a couple of shots of the living room, dining room and downstairs powder room. As the bedrooms and two renovated bathrooms upstairs become more completed, I will post more photos.

I am waiting on rugs, side tables and other elements before I get these rooms professionally shot. I have taken some quick snaps of my other projects in the Back Bay, Brookline, Belmont, Winchester and Nantucket -- I will try and do a blog with the "In the Works" photos, on a monthly basis.

It is so exciting to be the featured interior designer for the newly launched website, "The Inside Source" Ebays, New online Magazine featuring trends in fashion and decor. The site illustrates how to shop more strategically on EBay. It's a very fun site and the format is pretty slick! Here is yesterdays New York Times Article on the Inside Source. A special thanks to Marni Katz for such a fun and flattering article!

The Perfect Leopard Sweater and Predatory Prints!

Marc Jacobs, Leopard Sweater

Ever since I saw the Gwen Stefani video Cool, I have wanted the leopard sweater she wears in the video. It's perfect! I love the video, it's visually amazing. What can I say...I love pop music and Gwen and Italy - makes me want to plan a trip to Lake Como

Since I have never been able to find that sweater (*it probably Dolce & Gabanna, circa 2005) I am thinking about his Marc Jacob cashmere sweater above. However the truth is...I have made some animal print fashion mistakes, please see below - it seemed like a good idea at the time...

Animal Print Mistake, Exhibit A

......a predatory print mistake? It's looking a little like a Moo moo in this picture.

This is Beca Rory, 2007 never worn -- it actually looks terrible on me. Gray is not my color.

The model had this on with a pair of black stocking and black patent leather heels, very mod.

I guess it's just a little too much like a costume....for me.

Which got me thinking...I could be Mrs. Robinson for Halloween, get a wig and finally wear this darn thing. I wonder wear I can get a wig like this?

Below is Designer Markham Roberts, using Starks Leopard and Tiger Print Silk Velvets, Tastfully sprinkled into these amazing rooms!

Happy Friday!
