Salon Style #2

I know that this is being posted the same day and vertually minutes after my first salon style post.  It's my blog...so sue me :-P Lol really though I have been trying to post that 1st Salon Style blog for the past week but my computer was acting weird and not letting me.  So ironically tonight I find amazingness happening here.

Right! Nice Em Hen!  Loving the color combo of lilac and orange. Love the hanging chandelier that is over the laquered dresser which I also love and most importantly I love the salon wall that adds additional color, texture, age, and interest to the space.  Once again another successful use of Salon Style.

Interested in having me design your interiors?  Call me, 202.747.5716, or send me an email, audrey@chromaandhue.com.

Salon Style #1

I am in super like with this space.  Love the stripes with the frames.  Mix different frames with stiped patterned walls by making all of the frames the same color.  This is a great thrift store project.  Collect inexpensive frames and paint them all one uniform color.  Then add in all of those family photos that are scattered around the house onto one wall.  Super chic!

As an artist I love to see collections of family photos and keepsakes on walls.  It is one of the most inexpensive ways to bring art and style into your home. Todays Salon Style moment of the day comes from here.

Thrifting in My City

Thrifting in My City is a blog that justifies my shopping habits.  Well who am I?  My name is Audrey and I am the principle designer for Chroma and Hue Interiors.  Click the About Audrey link above to learn a little more about me. 

When I shop I do not have the ability nor do I want to purchase every single beautiful thing that I find while I am out and about.  Also I am an interior designer and I do not always have a project or home for the beautiful objects that I find at that time.  So to prevent myself from snatching up every single item that I find while I am out this blog will be sort of a holding pattern for any fabulous shopping finds.

OK!  And now that we have officially given pleasantries and introductions.  Here is a pretty pretty picture of a pretty pretty inspiring space.

 

I found this here

 

Isn't it gorgeous and simply divine!  Two things are my favorite that floor and the beautiful built in.  My specialty is kitchen design so I am well versed in the language of cabinetry and to see such a simple application of cabinets and lovely glass and it not be in a kitchen setting is just exciting.  I mean really, I am excited, it is refreshing to see home owners take things out of there traditional application and use it anywhere in there home.  Have you done anything nontraditional in your home decor lately?  Ever taken an object out of context and used it in an unconventional way?

I know this blog is about thrifting but...

Home Goods has some of the most awesomest (yes I make up words) rugs. And since we all love to shop here I had to share!

From extra large nuevo mod to a rug that would find the balance in a room fit for men and women, these rugs are chic.

I found a few super fab pieces at the Goodwill in Crofton, MD. Better get there quickly because I might go back to pick them up later this week!

Love this demilune nesting table. Almost did not put it up on the site. But I still wanted to share with you guys. Will def go back to get this later week if it is still there.

Campaign furniture especially dressers and night stands is trending right now to I think decorating with a campaign headboard would be fab. Queen size and about $75.

Not sure if the insert of theses end tables is natural stone but even it if is not imagine them painted with a super cool insert with natural stone, glass, tile, or even wood. $30 each.

Great modern buffet. A little saggie in the center but if you have a fabulous contractor/boyfriend like I do ;) then you can get him to reinforce it structurally. Can not remember the price but there most certainly would be some negotiation because of the sagging.
