Kristen Panitch

I'm working with a new design client on a smallish project in downtown Philadelphia. My client's style is fabulous and she came to me with a handful of inspiration images (all inspiring and beautiful). I'm calling it "polished eclectic" where things are perfectly tailored, buttoned up and organized... but, there must be some balance of eclectic materials, texture and overall personality.

Anyway, a few of the images came from Los Angeles based designer, Kristen Panitch. All I can say is, HAVE I BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK? Kristen Panitch. This woman is insanely talented. Come to find out, some of my own all time favorite images (for the design of my own home, especially) have come from her portfolio. So, it turns out, I am VERY FAMILIAR with her work, but I've been too aloof to realize it. So, get your "PIN IT" buttons ready, ladies. Because these pictures are extremely pin-worthy. :)

This particular project (Kristen calls "Latimer Road") should be called, "Kelly's Dream House." Just look-- the mix of antique and new, the fantastic color scheme, and the traditional architecture. Amazing.
