Modern House
This is a modern, 5 story tall, house. The first floor is the garage. The second floor is the bedroom. The third floor is the living and dining room. The fourth floor is the kitchen and a small porch. The fifth floor is the bathroom. An elevator connects the five levels.
If walls could dream… they’d dream of five story houses.
Design Tip of the Month: March
Buying a new coffee table.
You never want your coffee table higher than the cushins of your couch. So, before you click “buy” on coffetable.com make sure the table is lower than the cushins of your couch.
Also keep scale, style, and color in mind when buying a coffee table.
Ottomans are a great alternative to a coffee table. They provide extra seating, you can put a tray on them to place things on them more easily, and they are very kid friendly because of their soft edges.
Bathroom
This is a bathroom. The walls and cieling are the same color. This really highlights the crown molding. The vanity is the only real “bathroom” item in this picture. It has a simple sink and a towel and soap dispenser sitting on the light granate countertop. Notice the doors to the closet at the left of the picture. I thought of this volcano effect when the door was just half colored. I stopped coloring brown and fulled the rest in with gray.
If walls could dream… they’d dream of volcano doors.
Eiffel Tower
This is the Eiffel Tower.
I didn’t design it, but I drew it. Well, I drew it with help from wikihow.
If walls could dream… they’d dream of the Eiffel Tower.
Nursery
These are nurseries. Notice that they both have the same floorplan and same furnature, but different color schemes. The top is blue, perfect for a little boy, and the bottom is pink, perfect for a little girl.
The most important thing in a nursery is the crib. Most cribs have vertical poles, but this crib has horizontal. This gives it an unexpected and modern feel. Another important part of a nursery is comfort. The window bench and rug provide comfort. An important part of any space is storage. There is lots of storage in this room. From the built in dresser to the left to the built in bookcase and display shelf.
If walls could dream… they’d dream of nurseries.
A Modern Dollhouse
The Emerson House by Brincadada is a modern dollhouse.
Complete with sliding doors and solar-powered LED lights, this is not your grandmother’s dollhouse.
Brinca Dada also makes modern furnature and uber cool dolls.

Industrial Great Room
Like I’ve said in the past, a great room is not a room that is really good but a combination of a living room, dining room, and kitchen. Although, this is a great room that is really good.
It has an industrial and modern theme. With bright blue walls and cieling. Notice that the color of most of the walls and the cieling is a different shade of blue, but one wall is the same as the cieling. I thought this would be a really cool detail. To go with the modern industrial theme, the floors are concrete and instead of upper cabinets, there are exposed shelves. Exposed beams or columbs are also common in modern and industrial styles. There is a column coming out of the cichen cabinets. The counterops are granite with wonderful green, purple, gray, and gold specs. The red couch is pushed right up to the kitchen cabinets. The purple coffee table can be used for putting your feet up and watching the TV hidden in the tall cabinets to the right or can be pushed out to provide more seating during a party. The painting near the center of the drawing includes the wall color and couch color and is framed in the same wood as the cabinets.
If walls could dream… they’d dream of industrial yet cozy great rooms.

My Favorite Bathroom
.JPG)
This is one of my favorite designs. Even though I’m not a big fan of brown, I love this color scheme. And, being a girl, I love the walk in closet.
The gray tile and cement countertop, brown walls and cabinets, and blue accents make up the color scheme.
All the different shades of blue found throught the room are also found in the two paintings above the tub.
It’s hard to see, but the tub side has a vertical line of glass tile that matches that of the vanity backsplash.
The sink is not your classic sink. It is called a glass vessel sink. Vessel sinks are made to look like a bolw sitting on the countertop. These sinks are great because they don’t use cabinet space and they show off your countertop more than traditional sinks. I have even seen vessel sinks with lights installed around the drain! You can find great vessel sinks at http://www.everyvesselsink.com/
If walls could dream… they’d dream of vessel sinks.
Home Office
This is a home office. It has a large built-in desk and bookshelf that wraps around the whole room. This room is very warm with the orange cieling and chairs, lots of wood, and red walls. I love the dark wood floors and large window over the desk.
If walls could dream… they’d dream of built-ins that circle the room.
