I've received a number emails over the past few months asking to see some images of my own home! Let me begin by saying it's a work in progress. As most designers can attest, I can conceptualize a client's home down to the smallest detail but when it comes to my own home I {as my friend Erin from Elements of Style says} I have design A.D.D.! I know the cause, I LOVE so many styles and objects; it's so hard to choose one direction for my own space or even two for that matter! I'll share more photos when the rooms are completed! I'm focusing on the living and dining rooms now {when I can grab a moment here and there ;) that is...}. Happy Monday!

Love it!! Thanks for sharing.
Good God, woman. I'm drooling over here. Looks fab. Is that Grizzly Bear Brown paint in your office? If so, we're office paint color twins.
Julie, it is absolutely FABULOUS! I love every little detail. Thank you for posting this. I knew I would love the rest of your house after you shared your son's gorgeous nursery.
The chest came out great, Julie. And I do love those great lamps. Everything looks lovely !!
Looks AMAZING Julie! :)
New here...oh my! Your lamps, those mirrors, that tray...and I NEED that fish vase/pitcher! Perfection.
It might be a work in progress but... it is absolutely stunning, love all the details!
Beautiful!
I found your blog through "John's Journal" and find myself completely inspired! I can't wait to see your finished rooms. Have a lovely day.

your home is beautiful! can't wait to see more!
Absolutely breathtaking. So glamourous. Great styling. So chic. More, more!
Here's where I'm going to be annoying and ask the name of that fantastic chocolate brown on your walls. Pretty please. smhinckley@yahoo.com
Fabulous!!!! Thanks for sharing. I especially love your bar set up - the fish flower vase must be conversation starter! I love LOVE love those silver ball lamps - I've been searching for a pair for mnoths for my living room - seeing yours has only hardened my resolve to snatch up a pair for myself.

loving the sneak peek--the black side table is gorgeous! wondering where your living room chairs are from. love your blog!
what a great space! I love all the accessories and the living room rug. Would you mind sharing the rug source?
LOVE what you've shown so far!! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home! I love seeing other designers' homes!
love....such great shots to show off your beautiful home!
Your home is absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing!
Wow, wow, wow absolutely stunning! A fantastic home - love your style! KG
wow, beautiful, i love every image! great house, can't wait to see more!
Loved seeing these pics!
I can soooo relate to your indecision with your own home. I took 4 years to choose a fabric to put on my sofas. I think we are exposed to so many different styles and so many different tastes that some of rubs off and we are left floundering when it comes to our own place. I love the red chair infront of the dark wall. Never mind, what's the rush. We'll get there in the end.
I am so glad you shared. I love it so very much. You have got some skills.

Julie, it is absolutely STUNNING! I have posted about it on my blog today.

Wow, your home is stunning! I love the lampshades and the vases. Also love the white armchairs and cushions. You have amazing style!
Awesome!!!! thanks for sharing!
I adore the mirror in the foyer, have it in my favorite find of the week file. It really works here above the black piece. these photos of your home are stunning! Janell
I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only designer who has a tough time doing their own home! As my husband pointed out, I do design boards and detailed floor plans for my clients, but not for myself!
simply stunning!! Love it, i'm in the middle of home reno too..exhausting!!
Your home is GORGEOUS!!! Thank you so much for posting these photos- will definitely be using them for inspiration =) Lovely spaces
Great pops of color! Love the lamps...silver and turquoise. Also, love your mirrors. Any suggesgtions for finding similar?
OMG your home is gorgeous. I'm adding you to my blogroll effective now!!
Brilliant photography. Please show us more :)
Absolutely phenomenal! Your taste is impecable. Where did you find the turquoise and silver lamps?
I am in love...with your spaces and their objects

...got to you via ABT and I was not disapointed! Your home is beautiful, now I can't wait to see more!
I can totally understand the dificulty you are having designing your own home, MUCH more difficult than a client, for sure!!
Thank you for all of your lovely comments. I will answer your questions tomorrow....got to put my little one to bed...
Julie
I recently found you blog and have been following it. I really like your style. Your home is lovely. I know about the designer ADD! It took me 5 years before I could break ground on my own home's design and it was difficult. I've shown my home my blog a few times (including this Tuesday's post) but it took a while to get it to this point.
I would like to invite you join my Timeless Tuesday link party. The premise is timeless beauty in various forms of design and art. I think your posts would fit in nicely and I feel great about promoting them. You do not need to wrote a special post either. Simply link up a post the you would like to share. It happens each Tuesday (I usually post it Monday night). Here is this week's link ~ http://paulagracedesigns.blogspot.com/2010/02/timeless-tuesday-three.html
I hope to have you become a regular!

Wow! Am loving your style and your home!!! Especially the little black side table and the cute gold handles!
Thanks for showing us your home Julie.
Loved the sneak peek, thanks again for sharing your world with us all.

Love ever little detail! I'm sure you spend lots of time deciding about the details - but it's been well worth it judging how its all turning out.
Where is that white mirror or frame from - I adore it!
Thanks for sharing!
I am so glad I have found your blog. You have a beautiful home! I was lamenting something similar on a post the other day. I can help people with their designs pretty easily. But, for my own home I am often crippled by all of the options out there....and not waiting to commit to one style or another. The possibilities.
Congrats on your baby girl! I've added you to my blogroll. Excited to keep up.
I think I'm in love! This is the first time I've visited your blog, and I absolutely LOVE your home!!
oh, it's beautiful!! I love seeing people's homes. I am sick that I didn't get that mirror when I had the chance. Everything is so lovely!!
your house is just beautiful- I LOVE all the color and pattern going on. I have design ADD too so I totally understand your feeling on decorating your own space.
I had to post these this morning too- hope you don't mind :)
So very beautiful. I am thrilled to see you did not succomb to the tired white and burlap and neutrals that EVERYONE is doing. It is so trendy and they will all be changing while yours has staying power. Just lovely!!
Such a beautiful home! i love your style and agree that it's tough not to have design ADD. looks great though!
gorgeous!!! just found your blog through Everything LEB and I love it!
I followed you over here from our mutual friend Elizabeth Hunt.
I have to say that I am very picky when it comes to Interior Designers and I LOVE your taste.
I could use you here in my new house near Aspen. Too bad I don't have a budget but one day I will and you will be first on my list!!
Fabulous post-! AND, I do have that France marked dolphin pitcher too.....only more in the colour of turquoise.
Denise
Absolutely beautiful! I love it all!
Would you mind sharing where you got the mirror or frame that is above your black chest - I'd really appreciate it.
so glad you shared the space!
Julie,
It is all good!! Very good. I don't know how you have time to even think of taking photos with a new baby and on top of that everything looks fabulous!! I want to see more!!
I am so glad i found this blogg.
I will be back
Annika
Gorgeous! Would you share the deep brown paint color in your office and the green/blue in your foyer?
Thanks for sharing!
i must have been living under a rock because i just found out about your blog via absolutely beautiful things... your apartment is looking fabulous! i myself am moving into a new apartment in two weeks and have a bay window identical to yours... i'm loving the large dining-ish pedestal table you used as opposed to something smaller! i added you to my blog roll :)
Your home is beautiful and I love your blog as well! Congratulations on your new baby.
Absolutely stunning! every detail is just perfect and beautifully styled x
Your home is beautiful, Julie. And I completely relate to you on the design ADD - I've been saying that about myself for years! You've done a great job. Thanks for sharing!
It's absolutely stunning Julie. Your choice of colors and fabrics are really lovely. The dark chocolate wall set behind the white bookcase and the pink chair looks great. Thanks for sharing. Hayley
Found you thru ABT! I agree it's all so beautiful and vibrant! I have been doing the same thing, giving out just little glimpses because there are so many things I perceive as incomplete that others would no likel notice. Love to know what kind of camera that is...
Great vignettes. You've done a terrific job. Can't wait to see the end product! Marija
your place is fantastic!!!!!
i had to post about it here....
