Soft, warm greens, oranges, tans, and browns combine to create a richly textured palette inspired by the gorgeous fabric we used for the draperies. In the back, an antique baker's rack is used as a plant stand for fresh herbs and as extra serving surfaces. Hand-painted china plates feature songbirds that migrate throughout North America.

It's this chic migration that inspired designer Justin Shaulis to craft his room for New York’s Holiday House. The celebrated annual show house, founded to raise funds for breast cancer awareness, has given Shaulis the perfect venue to celebrate the magic of the subtropical hotspot in the middle of Manhattan.

The hot pink, gold, and orange flowers of 'Irene' lantana attract migrating butterflies in fall, while angelita daisy, Tetraneuris acaulis, blooms cheerfully just about year-round with little care.

Dark ground-level apartment turns into a bright and energized home by use of light-colored materials, high output LED lighting, but most importantly. We removed most of the walls and replaced them with translucent and clear glass allowing both natural light and artificial light to migrate between spaces.

Small Media Room. This project was an acoustic challenge, due to the hard surfaces in the room. Additionally, there is a bedroom directly above. A sound isolating system was installed to reduce sound migration from the in ceiling speakers and subwoofer to the room above. Control of the Media Room, as well as the motorized shades throughout the home, are all done using the iPad. Here you see the equipment rack with the custom door open.

Honeysuckle is making this little hummingbird happy. A trellis of climbing vines is a wonderful way to create vertical interest and maximize growing space. 'Sharing the yield', is a major tenant in permaculture. In this case it simply means your landscape can help migrating hummingbirds fuel-up before their fall-trek back to South America.

Found this settee at High Fashion Home on a 50% off sale. It works well at end of long kitchen living area. Open back keeps the window from being totally ignored and large size doubles as another bed in the space for overnight guests. Update: Cushion is down so it is comfy but feathers constantly migrate to surface and create a messy look.

I upholstered the chairs in Lee Jofa wool and purchased an antique hand embroidered kimono, then deconstructed to create the back panels to these dining room chairs. I believe that levity is an element that should exist in every home. In this instance, the Murano handblown glass Cranes are caught mid-migration walking across the deco dining room table.

Elizabeth McGreevy The black gravel is about 3" deep and covers am 18" deep infiltration trench to sink runoff to reduce downslope flooding and erosion. The sunken waters then migrate into the terraced planting beds to add extra water for plants and decrease irrigation needs.

We added a computer countertop to provide a more comfortable work space while using the kitchen. As kitchens tend to become a social/working/entertaining hub in the house, it’s naturally that our computer stations migrate progressively from the home-office or living to the cooking space.
