Design Crush: Roughan Interior Design

 It’s been a while since I’ve done an installment of Design Crush here on the blog.  But when I came across some images from designer Christina Sullivan Roughan, it was a design crush in the making.

Christina is a New York based interior designer and owner of Roughan Interior Design.  Specializing in high-end residential and commercial spaces, her incredible talent has even been showcased on luxury yachts and in hospitality properties.

What sets Christina’s style apart from many other designers is her ability to combine textures, finishes and subtle colors into sophisticated, timeless and livable interiors.

Christina started her design career with Polo Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger , overseeing store design and implementation.  It’s no wonder her eye is as honed as it is!

Here is a sampling of Christina’s work…all which make my heart swoon. 

Enjoy and Be Inspired!

  

Love how the subdued color palette allows the textiles and accessories to be hero. 

 The cabinet backs painted a dark color add drama and depth. 

 The details make this space come to life.

There’s nothing better than a intimate sitting area in the corner.

 

 Christina is known for mixing traditional and modern in unexpected ways.

 

 So pretty!

 

 

 Beautiful wallpaper and a stunning lantern chandelier.

 

Love the combination of turquoise and black.

 

Any designer that can do bright and bold this well wins in my book. 

This space just makes me happy.

 

 This ceiling is magnificent.

 

 The copper hood and reclaimed wood top island are awesome.  And, check out the subway tile that runs floor to ceiling.

 

 Christina is one talented designer whose design philosophy is something to remember…

“Every interior has a purpose and should be conducive to the living requirements of each client while remaining aesthetically purposeful and elegant.”

25 Random Things

I love reading blogs and one of my favorite daily reads is The Creative Place, written by the very talented artist and crafter, Ashley.

Today, Ashelys’ blog post was a listing of 25 Random Things about her.  Not only was the list fun to read, but it allowed me to get to know Ashley from afar.  

I was planning a similar blog post for later this week, with only 10 Random Things, but Ashley’s list inspired me to divulge a bit more about myself.  So, without further a due, here are 25 Random Things about me, the blogger and designer behind ConfettiStyle.

 

1.  I love wrapping paper.  Even though I have a signature color (red and hot pink) that I try to wrap my gifts in, I can’t pass up a role of beautiful wrapping paper.  Luckily, I’ve found ways to incorporate beautiful paper into my craft and design projects, which justifies my paper addiction.

2.  I love horses.  Several of my friends had horses when I was young and I love to ride.  I even have a collection of those plastic horses from when I was young. 

3.  I tried out for Miss Teen USA way back when.  Since I couldn’t since, I chose to do a dance routine as the scarecrow from Wizard of Oz.  I used my gold cheerleading pom-pom as the hair for my costume.  

4.  I love to travel.  When I worked for Eddie Bauer, I had the opportunity to travel to the far east.  I spent 5 years traveling to  places like Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand and Indonesia.   Singapore is one of  my favorite places on earth.  

5.  I love to cruise.  The hubby and I took a cruise on our honeymoon and fell in love.  We’ve taken 7 cruises so far and hopefully will be off on another one soon.

6.  The water has to be running when I brush my teeth, or I’ll gag.

7.   I hate loading the dishwasher.

8.  I decorate my Christmas tree in a different theme each year.

9.  I used to be proud that I had never been in the hospital, until I tore my rotar cuff hanging a piece of artwork at my store.  And yes, it sounded like a piece of paper tearing when it happened.  Now, I have one hospital stay on my resume.

10.  I love blues music.  I’m an old soul at heart when it comes to music.

11.  I still have a baby tooth in my mouth.  Every time I get x-rays at the dentist, they are surprised that I still have it and it’s so strong.

12.  I need to have complete silence and darkness when I sleep.  

13.  I was class president all three years in high school. Yes, I’m somewhat of an overachiever.

14.  I was only 4 1/2 lbs. when I was born and spent a month in an incubator.

15.  I collect Boyd’s Bears.  My collection has grown to about 120 stuffed bears.

16.  My favorite color is red.  When I was young, my bedroom theme was white with red roses.

17.  I was voted best dressed in high school.  My love of fashion started when I was really young and still continues today.

18.  I love the smell of Clorox–totally random for sure.

19.  Like Ashley, I love magazines.  I’ve created a list of all the ones’ I get with the expiration date so I can keep track of them all.

20.  I’m a cat person.  My two cats, Boots and Coco lived for 16 and 18 years respectively.  It’s been hard to think about bringing a new cat into my home, but I know I will soon.

21.  I adore Carson Kressley.  If I were stranded on an island, I’d want it to be with him.

22.  I want to learn to ride a motorcycle.  It’s on my bucket list.

23.   I empty the change out of my wallet every night.  A few years ago, we had collect $900 in coins.

24.  The Devil Wears Prada and Shawshank Redemption are my favorite movies.

25.  I hate cartoons.

 

  So, there you have it.  A few things about me that you probably didn’t know.

i’d love to know a few of your secrets, so do share!
