Inspiring Design:: Summer Thornton Design

Today’s inspiring designs come from Chicago designer Summer Thornton.  Summer is actually the designer of one of my all-time favorite rooms.  Let’s see if you know me well enough to know which one it is!

I love the use of an elegant chandelier in a living room.  It’s not something I get to see (or use) very often here in Texas, where everyone uses ceiling fans.

A beautiful mix of furniture, and the draperies are gorgeous!

I don’t think I ever would have put these chairs together, but I think they look fabulous!  And the arrangement of artwork is really nice.

It’s really not often that a neutral, monochromatic room catches my eye, but I think this one is so beautiful.  The mix of patterns and textures is so inviting.

For a long time now, I’ve wanted to design a room with wallpapered panels, and I really like how a wallpapered panel is used in lieu of a headboard in this room.

Okay, I’m fairly certain that it’s obvious which one is my favorite.  That teal headboard is just incredible!

  1. I was about to say the Dining Room…. but then saw the bedroom and knew that was your favorite. 🙂

    I think I like the neutral bedroom best, but mostly because of the windows. I love lots of windows.
