HGTV's Pure Design and Samantha Pynn - A Feminine Space

One of my favorite shows on HGTV right now is
Pure Design which is hosted and designed by Samantha
Pynn. She is absolutely brilliant with texture, color - not
to mention everything she does is green and eco-friendly.

I totally loved this space that she redesigned for a mother
and her young daughter. It's got enough whimsy and romance
for her daughter, yet is still sophisticated enough for adults and
entertaining.

Projects include keeping and repainting her dining table and
china cabinet as well as reupholstering some furniture.

The fireplace was totally repainted and the
furniture recovered in bright and fun fabrics.

A window bench was built in
with storage underneath.

A light and neutral gray on the walls provided the
perfect backdrop. The chandeliers provided the
perfect touch of glam.

I really love this wood stump
that serves as an end table.

The china cabinet was really old fashioned,
but a new coat of paint really did wonders for
it. It was repainted in a powder blue-gray.

In the dining area, Samantha covered the entire
wall with personal photos printed and framed in
black and white. Just stunning.

I've totally fallen in love with Samantha Pynn's
designs and so I'll be showing more of them.

HGTV's Before & After Decorating

HGTV has some pretty good publications and
the Before & After book is no exception. There's
some really great ideas in this book and it's really
reasonably priced.
