There are so many fun things in the summer issue of CS Interiors…surely to inspire many posts!  CS Interiors is the home and interiors offshoot magazine of CS (Chicago Social), the Chicago edition from the Modern Luxury publishing group.  It’s an exciting, sharp and truly fun read…and I always learn or rediscover a cool Chicago “thing.”  For example, I have had the pleasure of meeting the woman behind Bedrooms by Brynne, a “luxury boudoir design service”  and was excited to see her addition to the mag.  Bedrooms by Brynne is the brainchild of Brynne Rinderknecht, a young and crazy talented designer who specializes in, yes, the bedroom.  Before the School of the Art Institute alum launched her own company in 2007, she had been decorating over the top sets for Playboy.  Brynne decorates the bedrooms of her clients with the same flair and whimsy as she used in her Playboy days.  She does, however, still do work in set decoration as well as commercial work…which is equally as fabulous as the personal bedroom retreats she creates for her clients.  Brynne is fearless in her work and varied in her style, which makes me even more fascinated with this young, bold designing rogue.  Tell me what you think about her various work!  Also, stay tuned for more from CS Interiors!

Been traveling quite a bit for business and kiddo stuff.. .college auditions for our young, talented,  classical musician,  and have been searching through archives of amazing dream bedrooms.  Not sure if I need to wake up or sleep more deeply through this process

Some of my favorites are from British Homes & Gardens.

This “Modern Classic” example is alive with blocks of colour (gotta love that) accented with florals and geometrics.  Subtle, soothing shades emphasize the cocooning nature of the room, while ceramics and accessories in pure white impart light relief…that I dig.

This “New-Look Country” is based on texture and pattern which brings a sense of intimacy (blush) to this bedroom scene.  A dramatic floral wallpaper, tempered by clean lined furniture and unfussy curtains, gives the space a romantic feel without being overwhelming.

“Boudoir Chic” is all about an over-sized bedhead (UK speak for headboard) that creates a striking focal point and works beautifully with a delicate color palette.  Subtly patterned wallpaper, plus accessories and cushions in silk and taffeta add to the sense of glamour and luxury.

Hmmmm.  Looking for a bit of shut eye……
