Conceived more similar to a loft type space rather than a traditional single family home, the homeowner was seeking to challenge a normal arrangement of rooms in favor of spaces that are dynamic in all 3 dimensions, interact with the yard, and capture the movement of light and air. As an artist that explores the beauty of natural objects and scenes, she tasked us with creating a building that was not precious - one that explores the essence of its raw building materials and is not afraid of expressing them as finished. We designed opportunities for kinetic fixtures, many built by the homeowner, to allow flexibility and movement. The result is a building that compliments the casual artistic lifestyle of the occupant as part home, part work space, part gallery. The spaces are interactive, contemplative, and fun. More details to come. ​ credits: design: Matthew O.

When time is short, you can still do some quick decor around the house that really creates the mood! Use what you have around the house already and just add a pumpkin and something fun that represents Halloween. I had these metallic candle holders here in my home from Yankee Candle and they added to this easy grouping of a pumpkin and adorable witches potion bottle from Pier One. And, if you like the banquette seating behind my table, that's from Ballard Designs. -Kala Ambrose Intuitive Interior Decor

Custom made bedspread is a zebra print with a linen weave dust ruffle similar to mesquito netting. Underneath the bed is an uplight to illuminate through the transparent dust ruffle as if bed was floating or actually a hammock in a jungle hut. The light in from Schonbek; crystal and LED in turquoise. The night stand is an aluminum locker where an explorer would store 'gear'. The custom made, 5' tall, leather headboard has scrolled nail heads for interest. The bulletin board over the nightstand will hold all her favorite photos and ticket stubs and will be the last thing she sees before going to sleep each night. The pair of parrot framed art is custom by talented artist Cynthia Meadows. Photo Credits: Glenn Johnson Photography
