Modern Glam



Name:

Charmaine

Location:

New Berlin, Wisconsin

Division:

North

Colors Used


Charcoal gray, touches of gold/tan and turquoise. Benjamin Moore Iced cube silver for the walls.

Color Inspiration


Gray and turquoise have always been my favorite color combination. I draw inspiration from blogs and design magazines.

Color Tips


Instead of adding color through walls, why not paint a piece of furniture or two? You have less surface area to repaint if you get tired of it.

Thank you!

NY Muhtari - I got the shelving from Craigslist. They are actually end tables stacked together.

OMG - I cannot live without that couch. That is exactly, precisely what I have been looking for, for years now. Please, please, please tell me you have a source?

What color is that turquoise?! I tried to paint my dining table similarly, but the color was too pale. This is just right.

That built-in breakfront buffet is amazing. I love that it's gray, the turquoise dining table is really fab, and the chairs are so cool. You managed to take a few seriously disparate styles and blend them harmoniously.

Lucky you to live in such a great space, and especially lucky you that you were able to conceptualize it.

Oh my, thanks guys!

Maykigee - I'm sorry, but it is also a craigslist find.
Embryoconcepts - I bought it a local store but it is made by southern furniture (southernfurniture.net). I love it so much I got two!
Kelleyk - It is Martha Stewart Lagoon

would also love to know if you have any favorite design resources in WI!!! We moved to Mt. Pleasant, just south of milwaukee and I don't know where to shop for home purchases aside from regular dept. stores!

Erin, we too moved from the east coast 3 years ago. If you like antiques/vintage stuff, check out Antiques on Second and Blackhawk antiques. I also like Home Market in the third ward.
