Thom Filicia for House Beautiful

All Photographs by Thomas Loof for House Beautiful.
I was going through the House Beautiful website recently and came across the beautiful show house that designer Thom Filicia had done for the magazine - so I pulled a few of my favourite images. I loved the dining room above, especially the over sized photograph on the back wall and that great hanging lamp. And just look at those fabulously vibrant colours on the table - they are so me!

When you see a living room like this - it just makes me yearn for a larger space were people can actually look at each other instead of being lined up along one wall. But that is of course a luxury enjoyed in larger houses - tricky to capture in a smaller house. Someday, I'm going to design at house that works.

Loved the simple mix of art work and unusual objects that draw attention to your eye.

This Eagle console in the hall certainly creates a grand entrance.

Loved this bathroom especially with the wallpaper climbing up onto the ceiling - it creates a great sense of height and space for a relatively small room.

The stairway had this simple but beautiful runner and how do you like the hand rail? Very creative and very effective.

I was very inspired by this space - hope you are too!
