My talented friend Lauren at Pure Style Home designed this fabulous room for the Design House in DC. For those of you lucky enough to live close-by you can tour it starting today and until May 9th and proceeds go to the Children’s Hospital.

This ‘Mad Hatter’ chair is designed by Lauren and part of her new furniture line!
Fabric by Lauren on a few of the above pillows. Her fabrics will be available in her on-line store very soon!


Look at the stack of ‘princess in the pea’ mattresses for the window seat!! So fabulous.

    My favorite piece in this room is the giant green chair. I just adore it. It reminds me of something out of Alice in Wonderland. What a talented friend of yours! Hope you have a lovely Sunday.

  2. Pink Overalls @DIY Home Staging says:

    Yeah, what Katy said about the chairs. Now, those are Wing Backs! And all those greens are luscious. So much to love here.

  3. dimi says:

    What a cool, relaxing design! I love it! But then green is one of my fav. interior colours! Bring on some nature!! Congrats to your friend!

  4. Is she inspiring or what? I voted the other day. Its truly like watching a rising star. Actially, she's there!

  5. SHERRY HART says:

    Lauren did a fabulous job! My favorite parts are the floor lamp, colors and the curtain fabric!

  6. Donna Frasca says:

    Pretty! Now that's bringing the outdoors in – taking patterns and colors from nature.

  7. Catherine says:

    I love everything about it: how the grasscloth envelopes the whole space, that insanely awesome lamp, the beautiful shots of green, that fun llama sconses, and of course those CHAIRS! What I wouldn't give for a pair of those chairs! Lauren is so talented, and I'm so happy for her success!

  8. The enchanted home says:

    Love it, the pops of green really give it a lot of life without taking away from the serenity and calm of the space. Its so inviting and comfortable looking..like its inviting you in with a great book and fresh cup of coffee…beautiful!

  9. Donna says:

    That's so gorgeous Maria! How I love the black and tan with the green leafy accents. I'd live in this house in a heart beat! The mad hatter chair is awesome! And the stacked mattresses. So creative!

  10. Carol Standil says:

    I love the addition of the green and linen shades to the black and white. I'm also having a real thing for bamboo blinds right now, and I love how these help warm up the space. I'm on the hunt right now for the perfect bamboo blinds for a wall of windows in my largely black and white kitchen. This inspires me to hunt faster! Thanks for sharing this, Maria!

  11. Erika Ward says:

    My favorite part of the room has to be the glass lamp and the drapery!
    Congratulations Lauren on your participation in the Showhouse! Great exposure for your pending home decor line!

  12. GLENDA CHILDERS says:

    The bits and pieces of green delight me.

    Fondly,
    Glenda

  13. Sherri Cassara says:

    I love how she stacked the mattresses – and her reason – her interpretation of the princess and the pea. The first time I saw that I was floored. So creative. LOVE it.

  14. Mary Middleton Design says:

    Love love love the fabric on the wingback chair chair. The contrast green back is lovely – reminds me of Richmond Park by Zoffany. Nice lamps and carpet too…..

  15. Storibook Designs says:

    What a fantastically exciting venture for Lauren; her furniture and prints are just beautiful. Love those pillows!
