Linda McDougald, principal and lead designer of Linda McDougald Design l Postcard from Paris Home, re-designed and renovated her home, which now showcases an innovative mix of contemporary and antique furnishings set against a dramatic linen, white, and gray palette. The English country home features floors of dark-stained oak, white painted hardwood, and Lagos Azul limestone. Antique lighting marks most every room, each of which is filled with exquisite antiques from France. At the heart of the re-design was an extensive kitchen renovation, now featuring a La Cornue Chateau range, Sub-Zero and Miele appliances, custom cabinetry, and Waterworks tile.

KITCHEN AND DEN RENOVATION AND ADDITION A rustic yet elegant kitchen that could handle the comings and goings of three boys as well as the preparation of their mom's gourmet meals for them, was a must for this family. Previously, the family wanted to spend time together eating, talking and doing homework, but their home did not have the space for all of them to gather at the same time. The addition to the home was done with architectural details that tied in with the decor of the existing home and flowed in such a way that the addition seems to have been part of the original structure.

A paver patio (Anchor Afton, walnut color) to gives the homeowners the entertainment and dining space they wanted. The blended colors of the pavers pull together the colors of the roof shingles (brown) and the New York Bluestone (blue/gray). The smaller pattern of the pavers defines the space, inviting guests to sit. Plus, the plant bed between the wall and the patio gave the homeowners a space to plant seasonal color and an edible garden.

Make a statement with Globe Electric's Designer Synergy LED Light Bulb. A stunning cylinder of straight LED goodness maintains an aesthetic harmony that is the centerpiece of this bulb. Complementing its sustainability, the Synergy Bulb shines brightly with a cool white 4000-kelvin light but uses only 3-watts of energy. Not only beautiful when turned off, this bulb is a great way to illuminate your space with the clear glass resting flawlessly on a dazzling brass base to complete the superb design. Perfect to show off, and a little larger than a traditional bulb, the Synergy Light Bulb works best with an exposed socket lamp or fixture, or under a clear glass shade.
