Color and Paint
This is the stunning living room of Erin Featherston in New York. It can be described as a modern french style with a touch of whimsy. I am totally in love with this place, when can I move in? lol
I love the pastel natural colour scheme in the pastel blue and beige, the amazing French pieces and the high ceilings and tall windows.

This is the apartment of psychiatrist and socialite Samantha Boardman. Lot’s of color, modern art, and suprising hijinks wherever you look! This is a very cool home that is just as arty as the art that resides within it!
The grand staircase with Warhol’s Del Monte and Campbell’s-soup boxes stacked to the left.
The long hallway from the front door leads into the dining room and is lined with Andy Warhol’s portraits of drag queens.
In the dining room, blue velvet Marc Newson chairs circle the table, and a glass-enclosed biosphere by artist Paula Hayes functions as the centerpiece. On the left wall hangs a William de Kooning painting, flanked by two Richard Prince paintings.
The library is very exciting along with man books you will see a plesiosaur skeleton that the Boardman’s bought at Bonham’s auction house hangs from the ceiling, along with an oversize chandelier found in a store in Palm Beach.
Nestled in the bookshelves in the library are penguin dioramas from John Norwood Antiques and skulls sculpted by Damien Hirst (silver) and Andreas von Zadora-Gerlof (pink).
A quiet cozy corner of the room.
The home study with its black walls and red desk. Pieces of note: On the mantel, there are glass flowers by artist Alessandro Pianon, and the fire-red lips hanging above are the work of artist Tom Wesselmann.
Andy Warhol portraits in the playroom.
The ceiling in the more formal living room had to be reinforced to support the weight of the Jeff Koons dog hanging from the ceiling. To the right of the couch hangs a vibrant Cy Twombly painting.
The stunning rooftop patio.

There is no other color like the color red for maximum impact appeal! The color red appears to advance towards you while making all other colors in the room retreat.
Everyone’s idea of red in their minds eye is different as expressed in the following quote:
If one says “Red” – the name of a colour – and there are fifty people listening, it can be expected that there will be fifty reds in their minds. And one can be sure that all these reds will be very different.
By Josef Albers
And now for some red walled bedroom inspiration!
Pull one statement-making color out of a bedspread fabric for the wall color to get an unforgettable look. Here, candy-apple-red walls are bold and in control. For eye-catching artwork, paint empty picture frames white and place them on the wall above the bedframe. The white pops against the red, adding interesting contrast to the walls.

A bedroom has been transformed into a cosy haven with rich ruby red walls and a matching throw and cushions. A striking palm-leaf cushion gives the room a modern feel. Pretty candles and brass accessories, like the lamp, complete the warm and inviting look.
In this Oriental-inspired bedroom one wall is painted in bold red, which adds depth to this neutral scheme. Pale wooden furniture blends into the caramel-coloured walls and carefully placed accessories and the orchid bed linen from Next completes the look.
All that’s old is new again when spruced up with color and the appropriate comforts. This dark Gustavian-tyle bed from Viva Terra Here is made from reclaimed fir and is an ideal compliment to Benjamin Moore’s Vibrant Blush, a rich stain on the surrounding walls. Blue and white bedding soften the room, and stitched throw pillows add a handcrafted feel.

A touch of pink or maybe even doused in pink, either way modern glamour in the foyer never looked so spectacular than with some super-dooper pink!
The entry of a late-19th-century house in Brooklyn is a showstopper, with walls in Benjamin Moore’s Razzle Dazzle. The table and side chair (covered in vintage needlepoint) are Louis XV, and the mirror is 18th-century Italian. Designed by Jonathan Berger.

I just came across this amazing designer Decor Demon. I am in love with the aesthetic produced by Decor Demon, I see lots of modern shapes in shades of white, grays and blacks and then the most violent splashes of bright red. It is just so gorgeous! Modern and contemporary at its best.
This Baroque mirror is just wonderful.
