DC DESIGN HOUSE 2017

Design House days have come and gone, and I only managed to make it by on closing weekend—but this year was worth the cost of admission. A few highlights:

This Family Room, by Susan Nelson and Todd Martz of Home on Cameron, was a splash of sunshine, calmed down by the liberal use of blues throughout. Large doses of white space on the moldings, built-in, and even the curtain hems, keep the party from getting too wild. Here's the official image, and a few iPhone shots of mine follow. I always love a good Bunny Williams lamp.
 A wall mural covered the hallway entry to a guest room, decorated by Caryn Cramer
Blue was an accidental theme of the showhouse, with this library by Kelly Proxmire making the biggest blue hue statement—the dominate fabric is La Portugaise by Brunschwig and Fils. Her D.C. Design House rooms are always showstoppers.
 So much beautiful blue! The "built-in" on the left is actually trompe-l'oeil.
The Lady's Sitting Room by Marika Meyer featured a wall of framed Hermes scarves.
 Love that sky blue taping on the couch cushions!
