BEDROOM

A Thibaut wallpaper mural, profuse with blooms, birds, and butterflies, envelops the room. “I also like to give the ‘fifth wall’ interest, and this was a perfect opportunity for a trellis wallpaper on the ceiling.” Lisa pays equal attention underfoot with a radiating carpet design from The Rug Company.

The trim on the leading edge of the curtains references back to the ceiling pattern, as well as to the scallops on the luxurious bedding from Pioneer Linens. Blue-and-white porcelain from Replacements fills shelves in the Jonathan Charles bureau.

FLORAL SPOTLIGHT

“Inspired by nature, I love to design a multi textured, loose and wild arrangement of flowers. Let’s bring the outdoors, inside!” says floral designer Mary Pinson. Lisa Mende filled the bureau in her bedroom with blue-and-white porcelain from Replacements. Mary flowered the collection with arrangements of butterfly ranunculus, thistle, anemones, rice flowers, antique hydrangeas, roses, straw flower, light blue delphinium, and brown Queen Anne’s lace.
