So My Style!


Viewing the online portfolio of
Christina Murphy Interiors
the other day...and thinking to myself
"I love her style...this is so my style!"

 I mean...how chic is this kitchen?
These fab lucite stools?
I have them too!

She used one of my all time favorite
wallpapers
in this lovely powder room!
I used this too!

Can never get enough China Seas Quadrille~
(and now I want to line bookcases with it!)

 That gorgeous Roost light fixture...I love it!


Completely smitten
with these monogrammed linens!

Hello, Hermes orange ceilings!


I just love all the cool touches that
Christina employs...
which got me wondering,
what would you call this style of decor?
So, I asked her...
and this is what she answered:


"Timeless designs with a twist!"

From now on,
if anyone asks,
that's my style too!

Thanks Christina!

Things That Inspire said...

I love the chevron pattern on the bathroom floor. I love her style too - although I am probably more on the timeless side than the twist side. However, I really appreciate the twist!

Lovely- I have seen the lucite chairs and the forest wall paper-love them both. That zigzag mosaic tile is amazing- I have also been to the paint store twice to look at orange paint samples for a project I want to start- now I know what shade of orange I am looking for!

Cara said...

Gotta have the monogrammed linens! Where did you find lucite stools? MUST HAVE!

Susan said...

Her work is beautiful. I just looked at her website. I could easily live in any of those rooms.

Timeless design with a twist, pretty much nails it!

Have a great day.

Poppies and Sunshine said...

I love the first two bathrooms...and that blue bedroom...wow!

Pemberley said...

I like it all, even though my style is a bit more traditional. My old boss used to say ‘good design is good design’. My favs are the orange ceiling and those chairs around that small table.

I love the splash of orange with the black and white!
So many great combos here!

I love her fearlessness with using the color orange...it's my favorite accent color! I also did a tiny bedroom in orange! Great images.

Emelie - C'est LA vie said...

Oh God, this is so good. I can't find a single thing I don't like! Suddenly my own home looks... very "greige".

Splendid Willow said...

I was convinced it was your home! It is so YOU!
(Seriously girl, you will have to show us more of your own lovely house).

Both Ally and I want Hermes trays! Ally says they are impossible to find. Where did you find yours?
