If My Blog Was A Room – Next Up – Lucite and Lavender

November 2, 2011 by Amber Filed Under: blog room series Leave a Comment

Happy Wednesday and welcome to the series If My Blog Was A Room… where I pose the challenge to think of your blog as an actual space. What would that space look like? This week, I am so excited to have Emily here, from her design blog Lucite and Lavender. Emily is a very talented interior designer and opened her own business, em designs a few years ago. Just the name of her blog sounds chic to me!

Here is her pretty blog header:

And here is the amazingness that she came up with-

I wanted my blog to represent two sides of who I am and what I like.  I chose the words lucite + lavender due to the gentle juxtaposition of the two.  Lucite being man-made, and lavender being organic.  Lucite is a hard man-made material.  It’s simple & it’s timeless- it was great in the 60’s and it’s great now.  Living in a big city, San Francisco, I’m surrounded by an active environment full of people, buildings, movement & creativity.  I love city life but I also love nature.  Which is why I also selected the word Lavender.  It’s one of my favorite scents, and I am very drawn to the hill sides of Sonoma county which are full of lavender!  The views are breathtaking and I find that I need the solace of nature to revive me after days in the city. 
I design with the same intention, to create spaces that are timeless and reflective of all sides of my personality and my clients.
I hope my blog is as sophisticated & tasteful I intend it to be.  It’s growing as I do, Enjoy!  I hope you stay awhile!

WOW! Thanks so much for being here today, Emily! I love what you came up with and it reminds me very much of your blog. The colors are calm, soothing and very chic! Definitely stop by Emily’s blog– you’ll be happy you did! And to see the source list for this gorgeous room, go here.

Can you believe it… I wrote a blog post!!! 😂 Can you believe it… I wrote a blog post!!! 😂 Head over to my blog (link in bio) to see what’s been going on with all things Amber B Design, including this bookcase beauty in the office of #ProjectClassicLiving #amberbdesign #coastalliving #myballardstyle
In my last post, I hinted at a new plan for the li In my last post, I hinted at a new plan for the living room. Now that the ladder has been relocated to the family room, this corner is definitely in need of some height. I almost went with the idea of a tree and while I love it in other homes, I just didn’t see it here. So I went on Pinterest in search of inspiration and @studiomcgee to the rescue! I love the idea of a pedestal with a vase and maybe some branches, instead of a tree. I can switch up the accessories on the pedestal and I think it’s the winner! Inspiration in the next slide. #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving
I have always liked to shop around my home, moving I have always liked to shop around my home, moving things to different rooms and making them feel like new accessories. It breathes new life into a space, even with subtle touches. I switched the living room and family room table lamps and I like the larger scale lamp in here! I have fun plans for the living room, which I’ll share soon. Happy Friday!! #amberbdesignathome #loveyourhabitat #SMmakelifebeautiful #howyouhome #bhghome #hgtv #coastalliving
Once the Christmas tree is down, I always feel lik Once the Christmas tree is down, I always feel like the room is so bare. This year, we had it to the left of the television and I really feel like that space is now so empty. I tried the living room ladder in its place and I love it! But the living room needs it there too. What to do?! Maybe a tall plant in one of the spaces?! Two ladders within feet of each other?! 😂 #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #howyouhome #SMmakelifebeautiful #loveyourhabitat #bhghome
