5 Interior Design Blogs We Couldn't Live Without This cleanly designed and beautifully photographed blog is the creation of a generous interior designer. Vancouver based Patricia Gray shares her keen eye for style, takes us on trips around the world and points out the resources and materials that she enjoys using on a job. The later is particularly useful for interior designers. It's great to see a master designer work, to look at her resources as they appear in finished spaces, and get an analysis of why and how they function beautifully. You also get the bonus of a well-trained feng shui expert, layered on top of this interior designer, and you can better understand why Patricia's interiors exude calm, serenity, and strong flow.
Patricia Gray is an interior designer par excellence with a pedigree that would wow anyone. Her innovative design work has been featured all over the world, and in many different publications (including the renowned Architectural Digest). Patricia's warm style and originality have helped skyrocket her to the top of the interior design world, and her blog reflects this. Design 55 UK

Patricia, you give us aspects of the world that we might never see; ideas to inspire us, pictures that move us emotionally, a view to a kinder, more artistic world that lies within our reach. This must take time and energy, and I am most thankful for your blog. J Marie Goodwin Vancouver
You have one very nice blog bravo !!!

Fantastic post, very exhaustive! I was thinking lately how much zebra has been around and was just about to do a post on it but you beat me to the punch. I'll just have to do it from a different angle now. Thanks for sharing such beautiful images with us.
ReplyDeleteHi Suzy
ReplyDeleteYes please do a posting on zebra carpets from your own perspective. I would love to see it through your eyes.
Nice to have you back, P!
ReplyDeleteI almost did the zebra look in our new office space. I just couldn't pull the trigger. It was because I saw them everywhere. I pride myself on appreciating style, not trends...but as we've all discussed, so few people actually place these in their homes that it would be hard to call it a trend that has taken off anywhere except photo shoots and magazines. Either way, I still can't help but loving how they look and adoring them when used well in a space. Burnhamn Design and Domino make such clever us of the rugs. They accentuate, but don't dominate the space. Fetching.
very nice array of resources and inspiration, Patricia. I hope the move went smoothly.
Welcome back, Patricia! Great, thorough post. Love all the wonderful photos.
ReplyDeleteHi Franki
ReplyDeleteI think the zebra could make quite a statement in your office. It is very unique to have in an office space and fun too.
Hi Anne
ReplyDeleteGood to be back posting after my move.
I've always loved zebra! Great post and glad that you are back.
ReplyDeleteThanks Neutral dwelling.
ReplyDeletePatricia, what a thorough and wonderful post! For some reason, it really bothers me seeing zebra rugs, as they are such beautiful animals and I have an ethical dilemma with these rugs. But isn't it funny that I am okay owning and wearing leather goods made from cows? I am a hypocrite I guess, and the cute animals get more sympathy. They do make beautiful rugs...are zebras endangered at all? I know it is gauche to bring up these topics, but I thought i would add my thoughts anyway, as I am not being critical, just acknowledging that even I have mixed values about these things! And by the way, I love skulls and antlers and feel bad about that too. But something about a zebra hide makes me feel funny in my tummy... :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post though!
Great post! I love the collection of images. Thanks for the mention! (I have the fresh palette blog/aka Things that Inspire)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're back, hope your move went well.
ReplyDeleteZebra is my daughter's favorite. Her bedroom in SF is blk & white with a zebra rug, I'll have to show her this post! It's great :)
I agree, Patricia. It would have been fun. My challenge was finding a quality one that didn't look cartoon-ish. In the end, I opted for a completely difference angle. But there's always next year when I redecorate ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Fresh Palette
ReplyDeleteThanks for your inspiration via the pictures.
Hi Robyn
ReplyDeleteStay tuned for your daughter as I will be doing more postings on Zebra inspirations.
Hi Franki
ReplyDeleteYou're right there is always "next year".
Wonderful, wonderful post!! So glad to have you back. Hope you are getting settled in!
ReplyDeleteHi All the Best
ReplyDeleteThanks....and I am still getting settled in, lots more to do though.
Nice, as long as it aint real!
ReplyDeleteI am sad to say that zebras are indeed endangered. Use faux zebra rugs. The patterned designs are sublime, and look absolutely splendid in a space. I love the look with splashes of color here and there. Pure luxe!
ReplyDeleteHi Patrick & D
ReplyDeleteI am agree, let's us Faux Zebra!!
Hi Patricia,
ReplyDeleteI'm finally moving out of my parent's house into my own condo and would love to have a zebra rug. Can you suggest some Canadian (preferably Western Provinces) shops that carry some of these rugs? I'd love to get one but my budget would be at most $600.
Any information would be great! (Or anyone else who has any ideas!)

Wow, this is one of the best collections of zebra rug pics I've seen in a long time. I too am completely in love with the zebra rugs. Hope to have one soon!
