A Lynn Morgan Room



3-080617_EJ_duneroad_0267_Edit
Is like a candy store.
YUMMO!
Her published rooms are faboo!
It's not just the sunny colors in Lynn Morgan's rooms that make one want to exhale, but the designer herself: Relaxed and unpretentious, Morgan brings the tropical colors and effortless living of her native Savannah—where she grew up sailing and crabbing—to the homes she designs from her shingled studio in Rowayton. After 25 years of raising children in Connecticut, the designer and her husband returned to Manhattan with an Upper East Side pied-à-terre.“I needed to push myself away from my regular look,” says Morgan of the Art Deco apartment that she says required “symmetry, simplicity, and sophistication.”  For the palette,she avoided the sea blues, chartreuse greens, and bougainvillea pinks inspired by her coastal upbringing and winters in St. Croix. Instead, she used the grey-and-white awnings of Paris as a starting point for roman shades and pillows,and the black-and-whites of her husband’s City of Light photography collection as foils for bursts of coral and orange. “I like white high-gloss lacquered walls—nothing fussy,” says Morgan. Unafraid to mix high and low, she balances custom pieces with catalog finds. “Simplicity and order—that’s the spirit of a holiday, year-round.” ( as featured in New York Spaces)

I love the metal light fixtures that she has spec'd for most of her kitchens.

I love this room.
It reminds me of Maine.

This one is for you Mom.

This picture is for me.....
I LOVE banquettes. 
And this setting is fabulous with the mix of textures and the antique chairs.

I noticed that most of her walls are pale 
and the color is in the upholstery 
and in the soft goods.
For the most part, I do the reverse.
I put the color on the walls 
and in the occasional soft goods.
ie; pillows, occasional chair fabrics, and any trims that I might use.
They are easily changed
when the client tires of them ( and less costly).
And the biggest impact (I think) 
in a room you can have is a gorgeous paint color.
And if you are going to screw up on anything....
paint is an easy fix, and an easy change 
when you want a new look, and a totally new feel.
And the room is all about 
'THE FEEL' 
if you ask me.

Are you all about 'THE FEEL' of your rooms?
Each one of my rooms have different moods, or feelings
 that the colors and pieces set off in me.

Did I mention I love Grey...

You know what is funny (well not funny ha ha funny - but funny) I spend a lot of time tracking down images. Images that match up to my thoughts- does that make sense? When I imagine a space I am always thinking that I have seen it somewhere before and it drives me insane when I cannot find that exact image. The reason that I bring this up is that I was going through my images and noticed that I have saved a BUNCH of really cool images to share with you that I have been just saving... So here I am - sharing now!

Which leads me to this Kitchen... I am love loving this kitchen!! Everything about it from the cabinets, to the stools, the cut corners on the counter, the stove - maybe I would go for different lights- like these Jamie Young pendants.. Otherwise loving it!






Quick note: Does anyone know where I can find those stools they look like Lyons but I cannot find them??

Vintage and white..

I don't know what it is about this look that makes me feel so good- maybe because it seems so clean yet easy- like my kids really could not hurt anything. I love the Olive tree in the dolly tub and of course my first love the Tolix Chair!
