Virtual Tour of Naples Square Interiors

This private residence in the community of Mediterra was recently completed by Renée Gaddis Interiors. The client requested a more transitional space with unique uses of wood and stone.

In my field, I often come across outfitted rooms that appear to be missing that one single thing that defines the space.  Metallic colors can take that room from just so-so to amazing but the question remains, how do I use it?

Traditionalists say you should not mix your metals; however, with today’s design trends, mixing old with new is in vogue and the accent of choice is gold.  Yes, gold is back in a big way, and with the right lighting, you can create rooms that shine with quality that is hard to do accomplish with traditional finishes.

Below are some examples of inspirational designs I have come across recently that fit the trend.

I couldn’t be more excited when I found out that February brought in the new Chinese year of the Snake.  My obsession with snakes began a few years ago when I found myself face to face with a baby moccasin that found its way through my dash and rested on the floor mat of my car!  See below:

I have always coveted my python shoes but this snake was a little too close for comfort.  I was deathly afraid of these venomous creatures until on a recent trip to Morocco, we were greeted with a snake charmer who expected us to hold and pet these scaly reptiles. See below:
