Tilton Fenwick for HYGGE and West, Summer 2017

Last week I showcase our favorite living room at the Hampton Designer Showhouse by Melanie Turner, now check out another favorite space. You may remember I offered sneak peeks of Tilton Fenwick's designs at the Hampton Designer Showhouse in 2011.  The design duo has come a long way since they debuted their design firm in 2010, and now they are a force to be reckoned with in the industry.  Their firm keeps them very busy but they are also enterprising product designers to boot.  Their brand new wallpaper collections will debut Summer 2017, and they took the opportunity to showcase their new pattern, IKAT blossom on the walls of this beautiful master bathroom.  Tilton Fenwick will debut a collection in collaboration so look for wallpaper, Tilton Fenwick for HYGGE and West.  I love, love the cerulean hue painted ceiling and was happy to hear the paint sponsor for the house is my favorite paint company, Pratt & Lambert.  I have long-loved Pratt paint for it's rich hues and the ceiling color is called Blue Heron.  I also appreciate the "high-low" design of the bathroom showing some swanky high-end design (the art, the rug, the wallpaper) then coupling that with thrifty ready-made yet stylish products like circa lighting and the shade store.  Bravo to Ann Maxwell Foster and Suysel dePedro Cunningham, and we look forward to seeing more of their offerings to the industry!
