			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s be honest: The team at LRM Interior Design loves any excuse to decorate, and any holiday gives us the perfect excuse. Think we&#8217;re exaggerating? Check back at Valentine&#8217;s Day.</p>
<p>But the month that really gets us fired up is December, where we have Christmas, Hanukkah and New Year&#8217;s Eve, and that means decorating for family gatherings, cocktail soirées and friendly parties. Stuck for new ways to get the house—or office—festive this season? Read on, dear friend, and see what ideas LRM has for this most wonderful time of the year.<span id="more-1148"></span></p>
<div id="attachment_1149" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 234px"><a href="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/garlandKari.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1149" title="garlandKari" src="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/garlandKari.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="193" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">  </p></div>
<p>1. Garland, Traditional: Designer Kari Seydewitz loves how garlands look in the house during the month of December. She says that they &#8220;spruce up a room&#8221;, and we all agree. Whether they are over the mantelpiece or up the staircase, garlands made of pine bring the holidays into the house, especially in places where palm trees are more prevalent than pine trees. Add a little sparkle with ornaments and leaves spray-painted silver, which will reflect the light around the room and make everyone feel happy and bright.</p>
<div id="attachment_1150" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 256px"><a href="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/LRM_garland.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1150" title="LRM_garland" src="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/LRM_garland-246x300.png" alt="" width="246" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">  </p></div>
<p>2. Garland, Unique: This garland that uses feathers for attention caught Lisa McDennon&#8217;s eye, and inspired another version. She found this on the House Beautiful website, and she loves the vibrant colors. &#8220;I suggest tweaking the feather colors to match your décor,&#8221; says Lisa. Another idea she recommends is that those by the beach, either here in her hometown of Laguna Beach or across the country in Miami, should try using shades of turquoise and blue to reflect the colors of the ocean. &#8220;Or, use all white and dapple antique silver ornaments throughout,&#8221; adds Lisa. &#8220;If you&#8217;re really crafty, get your silver spray paint and glitter, and spray some holiday berry branches to tuck in for an added touch of sparkle and texture.&#8221;</p>
<div id="attachment_1151" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 201px"><a href="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/drifttree.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1151" title="drifttree" src="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/drifttree-220x300.jpg" alt="" width="191" height="260" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">  </p></div>
<p>3. A Recycled Tree: No, it&#8217;s not what you&#8217;re thinking. It&#8217;s not the pine tree from last year you carefully nurtured in a pot and brought back in after Thanksgiving, but a tree created from driftwood found on the beach. And yes, you guessed it, it&#8217;s perfect for celebrations on the coast! “I love the organic aspect of this tree, which can come in a multitude of sizes from 8 inches to 8 feet,&#8221; says Jan Smith, Senior Designer. &#8220;Beachside homes will rejoice at finally having a tree that represents the sea.” This one is available from 1st Dibs.</p>
<div id="attachment_1152" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 231px"><a href="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/dec-hol-roycop11-2-435A.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1152" title="dec-hol-roycop11-2-435A" src="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/dec-hol-roycop11-2-435A-300x215.jpg" alt="" width="221" height="158" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">  </p></div>
<p>4. Unique Ornamental Placement: We love how Royal Copenhagen treated ornaments in this photo. This is a perfect use for ornaments that are too fragile and too special to place on the tree. This way you have a sturdy display for the ornaments that allows you to use sturdy material for attach the ornaments. By hanging them from your chandelier, you&#8217;re not only creating a stunning centerpiece for your holiday meal that shimmers with the chandelier&#8217;s light, but you&#8217;re also showcasing your precious ornaments from years past. Throw in some new ones to complete the display and to match your color scheme for the event.</p>
<div id="attachment_1153" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 230px"><a href="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/candleholders.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1153" title="candleholders" src="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/candleholders.jpg" alt="" width="220" height="187" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">  </p></div>
<p>5. Let There Be Light: Everyone loves candlelight, especially us ladies. It adds warmth to a room and a special light that cannot be recreated artificially. Jan loved these tea light holders from West Elm, and no surprise—they look amazing grouped together, and Jan&#8217;s a fan of grouping items to beautiful effect. Jan recommends to “mix holiday candle holders with everyday holders to create more interest and that dreamy glow to any room or festive event you have this season.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_1099" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Screen-shot-2011-10-14-at-12.06.10-PM.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1099" title="Screen shot 2011-10-14 at 12.06.10 PM" src="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Screen-shot-2011-10-14-at-12.06.10-PM-300x239.png" alt="" width="300" height="239" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Les Alizés Collection from Brunschwig &amp; Fils.</p></div>
<p>Everybody knows that we love <a title="Kravet" href="http://www.kravet.com/">Kravet</a>—we love their furniture (especially the <a title="Kravet Smart furniture line" href="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/2011/07/18/get-smart-and-beautiful-custom-furniture-can-be-yours/">KravetSmart line</a>!), we love their fabrics, we love their trimmings. And now there&#8217;s even more reason to love Kravet—they saved the esteemed fabric company <a title="Brunschwig &amp; Fils" href="http://www.brunschwig.com/buzz.htm">Brunschwig &amp; Fils</a>.</p>
<p>This American company was founded in 1900 and has always been highly regarded in the industry, not just for their fabrics, but as a resource. Unfortunately, due to the economic upheaval, Brunschwig &amp; Fils was forced to file for bankruptcy in late 2010.</p>
<p>But wait, that&#8217;s not all. Kravet president Cary Kravet swoops in like a superhero to Brunschwig &amp; Fils&#8217; rescue. Although they seem like a competitor, it makes complete sense for Kravet to add them to their line of offerings. <span id="more-1098"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;It was pretty close to disappearing,&#8221; said Cary Kravet. &#8220;We all revere Brunschwig, which produced the most fantastic traditional and historically important patterns. It had to be respected.&#8221;</p>
<p>And respect it, they did. Kravet added Brunschwig &amp; Fils to their stable of deluxe brands, right where it should be, alongside Lee Jofa and GP &amp; Baker. Lee Jofa&#8217;s executive vice president and creative director Stephen Elrod couldn&#8217;t wait to dig into Brunschwig &amp; Fils&#8217; extensive archive after the transaction was complete. He was searching for historic patterns that could be adapted for a new generation, and Elrod hit the proverbial jackpot. He combed through thousands of patterns, some even dating from the 1700s, to create this season&#8217;s Les Alizés collection. The name means &#8220;trade winds&#8221; in French, and includes bold prints, substantial wovens and intricate embroideries.</p>
<p>Like when Jean Paul Gaultier took over the helm at Hèrmes, Kravet has brought Brunschwig &amp; Fils into this century without damaging its dignity or integrity, while still being a little cheeky with their updates. Reducing the number of colors in a paisley and introducing a pink and orange colorway were just two of the ways that Elrod updated some of Brunschwig &amp; Fils&#8217; historic patterns.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll be keeping our eyes out for more of Elrod&#8217;s fantastic innovations with Brunschwig &amp; Fils&#8217; deep archives of patterns, textures and delightful fabrics, so watch this space!</p>
<p>We are experts in upholstery, reupholstery and custom furniture. Do you have a sofa in your house that you love, but it needs a facelift? Perhaps some new Brunschwig &amp; Fils fabric? Is there a piece that is missing in your house, but you just can&#8217;t find? Please call LRM Interior Design for a consultation; we have the solution for you.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_1020" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 275px"><a href="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Hinkley_bluedress.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1020" title="Hinkley_bluedress" src="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Hinkley_bluedress-265x300.jpg" alt="" width="265" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">We loved this photo from the Hinkley website, since it could be our own Lisa McDennon modeling!</p></div>
<p>Remember earlier this year when we announced Lisa McDennon&#8217;s inclusion in <a title="Hinkley Lighting Catalog and Website Feature" href="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/2011/03/14/lisa-mcdennon-to-be-featured-in-hinkley-lighting-catalog/#more-913">Hinkley Lighting&#8217;s website and nationwide catalog</a>? Lisa was extremely flattered to be chosen as one of their top picks for giving “<a title="Hinkley Lighting Style Tips" href="http://www.hinkleylighting.com/be-inspired/lighting-tips/" target="_self">Lighting Style Tips and Ideas from Fabulous Designers</a>“, and was even quoted in the blog as saying she looked forward to a long relationship with the distinguished brand.</p>
<p>And that turns out to have been quite the prediction—we don&#8217;t want to spill the beans, but keep your eye out for some exciting news here on the LRM Interior Design blog about that very thing! In the meantime, we wanted to talk a little bit about why Lisa felt so privileged to be included in Hinkley&#8217;s cadre of favorite designers.<span id="more-1019"></span></p>
<p>Hinkley Lighting has been in existence for almost 90 years, and still holds a strong reputation for quality in construction, superb functionality and beauty in design. Phil R. Hinkley founded the company in Cleveland, Ohio in 1922, and the first catalog did not feature any designer style tips, only fourteen copper light fixtures made for both indoor and outdoor use.</p>
<p>In the 1930s, the Hinkley company started moving from copper fixtures into specially treated steel and copper plating. They also started to include crystal moss, amber cathedral and amber opal glass into their pieces. During the 40s, like many manufacturers, Hinkley Lighting&#8217;s new owner Stanley Wiedemer shipped his sons off to the war and started making airplane parts for the government. They reverted to lighting after the war, when the need for residential housing skyrocketed.</p>
<p>The 50s and 60s were great times for innovation both in technology and design, and in the 80s launched their landscape lighting division, which is going strong today. We&#8217;re happy that it&#8217;s still a family business after all these years, and continues to succeed based on those same values the company was founded on. We also love Hinkley Lighting&#8217;s dedication to reducing their eco-impact, with teams dedicated to creating lighting that are more efficient and less harmful to the environment, while still embodying the styling we expect. Their outdoor lighting conforms to almost every Dark Sky requirement that exists, and they continue to provide LED conversions and fixtures for fluorescent bulbs.</p>
<p>At LRM Interior Design, we know how a single lamp can not only transform a room, but anchor the entire design. Lighting should be something that complements, that wows, that delights—but always provides the right quality of lighting for the room&#8217;s purpose. Interior designers like the LRM team are experts at lighting, and would love to talk to you about a lighting makeover. Call (949) 497-6806 for a consultation today!</p>

<p>If you think that affordable furniture can only be found at Ikea, and that any piece of furniture you get through an interior designer is overpriced—we&#8217;re happy to inform you that you&#8217;re wrong!</p>
<p>Ikea furniture might have some cool, European styling, but it&#8217;s not built to last. And let&#8217;s be honest: you&#8217;re not in college anymore, right? But with everyone feeling the crunch of the economy, LRM Interior Design wants to remind everyone about a product line from one of our favorite furniture and fabric companies: Kravet.</p>
<p>Look at the photos on this blog post. Do they look &#8220;affordable&#8221; to you? Do they look &#8220;budget&#8221;? Do they look like they come from a do-it-yourself store? No, we don&#8217;t think so either. These are all examples from Kravet&#8217;s Kravetsmart line, which we can&#8217;t get enough of.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s to love? What&#8217;s NOT to love! <span id="more-1001"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>You can have any chair, sofa, banquette, sleeper, sectional, ottoman, bed or settee upholstered in your choice of over 60,000 different fabrics</li>
<li>Those 60,000+ beautiful choices of fabric are at NO extra charge</li>
<li>The sofas can be ordered by the inch. Yes, that means if you want a 73-inch sofa, that&#8217;s what you get.</li>
<li>Seat cushions are made from soy-based foam and recycled fibers, and all springs are made from recycled steel</li>
<li>The prices are ridiculously affordable</li>
</ul>
<p>Interested now? We thought you&#8217;d be. Have a look around your living room. Is your sofa looking tired? Have you wanted to chuck it out and get a new one, but thought it would be too expensive? What about your dining room chairs? You could transform your dining room by just replacing them with a new style in some fantastic fabric. Need a boost in the bedroom? Have a closer look at the stunning collection of beds in Kravetsmart&#8217;s line, and you might just trade your existing bed in for a new one.</p>
<p>The possibilities are endless! Where to start? Start by calling LRM Interior Design to go in and look through the catalogs. Our designers can give you advice based on your style and needs, and help you pick the furniture that&#8217;s right for you.</p>
<p>Smart? You bet it is. Call (949) 497-6806 to set up your appointment now, or <a title="Contact Us" href="http://lrmdesign.com/contact/default.asp">click here</a> to fill in our online form.</p>

<p>Spring has been quite a wet season, especially by our Southern California standards. But our opinion is that it will just provide a lush summer for our enjoyment. Here in Laguna Beach, we can tell that there&#8217;s been a lot of rain, and not just by the unusually lush hillsides, but that the goats have arrived a bit early this year. Yes, we said &#8220;goats&#8221;. They are our ecologically friendly way of ridding the beautiful Laguna hillsides of the excess vegetation. Plus, they are adorable!</p>
<p>But we digress. Although the spring hasn&#8217;t provided the best weather for us to enjoy the outdoors, we know that summer is just around the corner, and it&#8217;s sure to bring us some beautiful sunshine. And when the sun is shining, the locals of Southern California play, entertain and relax. And what better place to do so than in a stunning outdoor living space—in your own home?<span id="more-964"></span></p>
<p>It&#8217;s no secret that we at <a title="LRM Interior Design" href="http://www.lrmdesign.com/">LRM Interior Design</a> love the <a title="Mid-century modern" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Century_modern#Architecture_2">mid-century modern</a> period, not just for furniture and style, but also for architecture. <a title="Our Team" href="http://www.lrmdesign.com/about_lrm/bios.asp">Jan Smith</a>, Senior Designer at LRMID, submitted this photograph of a home available in one of the mid-century modern havens in SoCal: Palm Springs.</p>
<p>&#8220;For me, nothing epitomizes <a title="LRM Loves: Sustainable outdoor furniture" href="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/2010/08/04/lrm-loves-sustainable-contemporary-furniture/">outdoor living</a> like a great mid-century modern design,&#8221; says Jan. &#8220;Large windows, like in this house, encourage the homeowner to extend the living space as far outside as possible.&#8221; And not using your outdoor space to its full potential in Southern California is a crime. Some areas, like our beloved Laguna Beach, can be a bit stingy on its lot sizes, which makes designing an <a title="Inspiration: The Great Outdoors" href="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/2009/04/30/inspiration-the-great-outdoors/">outdoor living area</a> more challenging—but not impossible. And we love a challenge at LRM!</p>
<p>&#8220;Oversized furniture and great lighting invite get-togethers that last into the evening, or even late into the night. Neutral palettes also bring attention to other details in a backyard; in this instance, it&#8217;s the plant life and pool,&#8221; Jan comments, discussing the Palm Springs home. &#8220;Contrary to popular belief, creating simple designs is often more difficult than creating more ornate or complex ones. With a simple design, every detail and selection must be perfectly proportioned and thoughtfully executed.&#8221;</p>
<p>Is your backyard ready for summer entertaining? Is it ready to be transformed from a &#8220;backyard&#8221; into an &#8220;outdoor living&#8221; space? If you&#8217;ve been thinking about it, there should be nothing stopping you from <a title="Contact Us" href="http://www.lrmdesign.com/contact/default.asp">contacting us</a> for a free consultation. Let us create a space for you that will make you never need another vacation, because you&#8217;ll have resort living right outside your door!</p>

<p>Welcoming a new bundle of joy into the family?  Babies may not be discerning when it comes to room and interior design, but as creatures that sleep the day away, they will need some comfortable bedding and sheets to accommodate their not-always-peaceful slumber. <a href="http://www.sferra.com/">Sferra</a> bedding is the top name in the world for beautiful, luxurious and custom-ordered linen, having manufactured the highest quality products from Italy since 1891.  We have already discussed how you can get lovely, soft, beautiful and custom bedding from <a href="http://www.sferra.com/">Sferra</a> (and with <a href="http://www.lrmdesign.com/">LRM Interior Design’s</a> help, you won’t even have to step out your door for linen perfection!), but now you can also share this luxury with your baby.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.sferra.com/">Sferra</a>‘s Baby Collection offers baby ensembles, blankets and basics all in true, lavish <a href="http://www.sferra.com/">Sferra</a> fashion. Start off with Baby Basics, the softest bedding woven from classic white Egyptian cotton crib sheet, accompanied with a gently gathered crib skirt and a soft baby pillow made of poly-fi.  Toss an unbelievably soft Nursery Stripe blanket on top of it all, and let it cocoon your little one in its 100% cotton yarn weaves.  Or, we personally love the Bambino blanket, an even plusher option, made from the softest cashmere available.</p>
<p><span id="more-960"></span></p>
<p>Start your little one off right with <a href="http://www.sferra.com/">Sferra</a>’s baby bedding collections.  You already love the feel of luxurious bed sheets, so why not share it with your baby and their smooth, sensitive skin? Your baby will appreciate the deliciously soft bedding as he or she drifts away into dreamland every night.</p>
<p>What better gift for a baby shower than a <a href="http://www.sferra.com/">Sferra</a> set? What mother would not appreciate the finest quality in blankets, sheets and bedding for their new arrival? At <a href="http://www.lrmdesign.com/">LRM Interior Design</a>, we can help you create the perfect collection of items for your friend or family member who is expecting a little bundle of joy.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lrmdesign.com/">LRM Interior Design</a> will help you coordinate your baby’s bedding so that the ensembles harmonize with the rest of your home’s design.  We carry all of <a href="http://www.sferra.com/">Sferra</a>’s samples right in our studio, so please feel free to stop by to touch, see and choose.  <a href="http://www.lrmdesign.com/">LRM Interior Design</a> can also come by your office or home.  You’ll never need to shop for your baby’s bedding in-store ever again.  For a complimentary consultation by <a href="http://www.lrmdesign.com/">LRM Interior Design</a>, please call us at (949) 497-6806.</p>

<p>Raise your hand if you don&#8217;t like a good night&#8217;s sleep&#8230;.Nobody? That&#8217;s what we thought. Who doesn&#8217;t hear the siren call of a wonderfully soft bed bursting with just the right amount of pillows? We know that there&#8217;s some people out there that jump out of bed each morning with boundless energy, but even they know the delight of snuggling in for another hour of well-deserved slumber once in a while.</p>
<p>Did you know that LRM Interior Design is more than qualified to help you in this department? No, we don&#8217;t mean helping you sleep. We mean helping you create—literally—the bed of your dreams.</p>
<p>How? It&#8217;s simple. We create custom furnishings for clients all the time (see photo!), and custom bedding is one of our specialties, down to a personally designed and built headboard. But custom doesn&#8217;t have to mean expensive&#8230;<span id="more-953"></span></p>
<p><a title="Sferra bedding" href="http://www.sferra.com/">Sferra</a> bedding is some of the top on the market. If you&#8217;re not lucky enough to have this brand on your bed at home, you may have experienced them at a high-end, luxury hotel. Yes, the ones you contemplated tucking in your suitcase because they were that delicious.</p>
<p>As usual, the best and most luxurious home items come from Europe, and Sferra is no exception. These world-renowned linens are Italian, and have been making their superior products since 1891. And practice makes perfect, that&#8217;s for sure. There is something for everyone—from romantic, embroidered designs to sleek, modern styles—with a price point to match every budget.</p>
<p>We can help you with creating your perfect bed in many ways. One: we can help you choose the ready-made Sferra bedding options that will complement your existing bedroom decor.</p>
<p>Two: we can provide you with all of the Sferra products without you having to step into a store—not just high thread-count sheets in beautiful colors and patterns, but also duvets, down-alternative comforters, blankets and down pillows (plus bedding for babies! More on that later&#8230;).</p>
<p>Three: we can redesign your entire bed with custom-made Sferra bedding, with personalized embroidery, amongst other choices. We love designing custom decorative pillows, bolsters and cushions too, as shown in the photo. Four: we can redesign your entire bedroom, with not only a bed that meets your exacting specifications for color, comfort and style, but also built-in cabinetry, flooring, wallcoverings and window treatments.</p>
<p>Interested in changing your bed from lumpy to comfy? Bored with your sheets and want to treat yourself to a little luxury? Does your bedroom need an entire face lift? We carry all of the samples in our studio, so please feel free to stop by to touch, see and choose! We can also come by your office or home. You&#8217;ll never need to shop for sheets in-store ever again! Call LRM Interior Design for a complimentary consultation by calling (949) 497-6806.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the things we are allowed to do in our job is see a lot of what is behind closed doors in many clients&#8217; homes. We&#8217;re not snooping, of course, but to find out what spaces can be used for, repurposed or remodeled, you need to see everything. And we&#8217;ve found that many people are what&#8217;s commonly known as &#8220;packrats&#8221; or &#8220;hoarders&#8221;.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s not to say that much of what they&#8217;re hoarding needs to be thrown out, but if you&#8217;re not using these items, perhaps it&#8217;s because it&#8217;s packed so far back in a cupboard you forget about it. Or, you could be like Katherine Caporale, the newest member of the LRM Interior Design team, someone who was brought up to save the best items for special occasions. &#8220;I subconsciously incorporated my mother&#8217;s philosophy into my attitude towards my possessions,&#8221; Katherine explains. &#8220;For instance, my Christofle sterling silver sits waiting for a holiday to be admired. But this year&#8217;s spring cleaning will be a rebirth for all the lovely pieces that have been leading a cloistered existence in the china closet!&#8221;</p>
<p>And why don&#8217;t we all take Katherine&#8217;s lead? Clear out those items that you put in the cupboard to hide, and take out the beautiful items that should be admired by all who see it, every single day. Here&#8217;s some fantastic ideas on how to showcase those items, plus some refreshing spring ideas from our fearless leader, Lisa McDennon herself!</p>
<div id="attachment_940" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 226px"><a href="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Ballard.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-940 " title="Ballard" src="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Ballard-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="216" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The perfect storage solution for a shoe collection</p></div>
<p>1. SHOES: Now, we know that there are ladies out there that like sensible shoes, and there&#8217;s nothing wrong with that. But let&#8217;s face it, whether they are sensible shoes or fabulous Manolo Blahniks, most of us girls are obsessed with our shoes. So why shut them away in the closet? We love this shoe storage tower with space for 18 pairs of shoes and six handbags. Lined with pale grey fabric that keeps shoes and handbags in great shape, the cubbies can be readjusted to hold boots or specially sized shoes or bags. I don&#8217;t know about you, but I&#8217;m looking for the &#8220;buy!&#8221; button! Just call the girls at LRM Interior Design and they can get you pricing: (949) 497-6806.<span id="more-939"></span></p>
<div id="attachment_941" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 268px"><a href="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/carmine.jpeg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-941" title="carmine" src="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/carmine-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="258" height="258" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Display items on this contemporary bookshelf</p></div>
<p>2. DISPLAY: Bookcases can be so, well&#8230;.boring. It&#8217;s shelving, after all, right? But, as usual, Arteriors manages to do something innovative with a piece that seems to be unchangeable or unimprovable. This limed-oak bookshelf would provide a subtle contemporary styling to a bedroom, living room or home office, but it&#8217;s not just for books! It could even display items in a dining room instead of the usual china cabinet. Don&#8217;t forget that there isn&#8217;t a back to this shelving unit, meaning that the wallcovering behind it will show right through, adding another decorative element to what you display on its shelves. Carmine Grey Limed-Oak Bookshelf, available through LRM Interior Design: (949) 497-6806.</p>
<div id="attachment_942" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Benedict.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-942" title="Benedict" src="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Benedict-300x221.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="221" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Entryway storage is key with a family</p></div>
<p>3. ENTRY: Do you have a problem with other people&#8217;s clutter? Do you have busbands, wives, children (or even visitors!) who come in to your house and drop their belongings in the entryway? This Benedict Entry Bench is the answer to all of your problems! It&#8217;s almost 4-feet long, with three deep drawers and 10 deep cubbies for storing all types of items as they come through the front door. Bookbags, purses, briefcases—even toys—can be neatly and safely tucked away. And, since it&#8217;s made from zinc, it&#8217;s long wearing and durable. Also available from LRM Interior Design. Call (949) 497-6806 for pricing.</p>
<div id="attachment_943" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 288px"><a href="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/201010_Hamptons_KitchenAndBathIQ_Waterworks_SumptuousSoaks_Bathroom_1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-943" title="201010_Hamptons_KitchenAndBathIQ_Waterworks_SumptuousSoaks_Bathroom_1" src="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/201010_Hamptons_KitchenAndBathIQ_Waterworks_SumptuousSoaks_Bathroom_1-300x183.jpg" alt="" width="278" height="170" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The lines of this Waterworks tub are gorgeous</p></div>
<p>4. SOAK: &#8220;Last year I changed out my kitchen faucet,&#8221; remembers Lisa McDennon. &#8220;And it inspired me to want an entire kitchen remodel!&#8221; And it&#8217;s no surprise that this soaking tub from Waterworks is making us all think of a bathroom remodel. Is your bathtub built in? Do you only have a shower? Discover how truly delightful a bath can be with a deep, contemporary soaker like this one. As a matter of fact, this tub is so gorgeous, we dare you not to want to remodel around it once it&#8217;s installed&#8230; Call (949) 497-6806 for pricing from LRM Interior Design.</p>
<div id="attachment_944" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 197px"><a href="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Dining-room.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-944" title="Dining room" src="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Dining-room.jpg" alt="" width="187" height="208" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Try a wallpaper insert or a starburst mirror in the dining room</p></div>
<p>5. HANG: Is replacing your tub too big of a step to take right now? No problem. We have ways for you to start small and work your way up to the bathroom remodel. Try adding a stunning oversized object to a room, like this fantastic starburst mirror. We have used something similar over a bed, but in this case we hung it over the dining room buffet, to great effect. We have many sources for these type of striking mirrors and hung objects, so don&#8217;t hesitate to ask us to do the shopping for you. If you look at the ceiling of the dining room, you&#8217;ll see another little trick: a wallpaper insert that provides a unique touch to the dining experience. The F. Schumacher wallpaper and mirror are both available at LRM Interior Design, and other styles and colors are available; all you have to do is ask. (949) 463-8134.</p>
<p>So, hooray for spring, and let&#8217;s bring those wonderful items out for not just display, but use too! And make sure to donate those pieces that are cluttering up your home to a thrift store near you. Try not to be sentimental about pieces that are not adding beauty, value or usefulness to your home. Out with the old, and in with SPRING!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At LRM Interior Design, we love trees. Now, we&#8217;re not necessarily saying that we&#8217;re &#8220;treehuggers&#8221; or anything, but we&#8217;re fans. That said, it&#8217;s not always easy to include trees in interior design.</p>
<p>But, luckily trees share their bounty with us, as if every tree was The Giving Tree. They give up their sturdy, strong trunks and branches to be chopped, cut and otherwise transformed into many items that we use today, from paper, pencils, flooring, building materials—the list is endless.</p>
<p>But some of our favorite uses of wood are in the interior accessories category, allowing us to bring the organic feel of the outdoors indoors. A few of our top picks are listed below:</p>
<div id="attachment_922" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 234px"><a href="http://www.interiordesign.net/newproducts/9423-Munio_Vases.php"><img class="size-medium wp-image-922" title="munio" src="http://blog.lrmdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/munio-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Munio wooden vases</p></div>
<p>1. <a title="Munio Design" href="http://www.muniodesign.com/" target="_blank">Munio Vase</a>: Fine wood items and water don&#8217;t sound like good bedfellows, but that&#8217;s if you think that only live flowers in water go in vases. In a word: no. Just the curvaceousness of these vases is enough to stop traffic; adding flowers would only detract from their singular beauty. These vases, made of wood from the rain forest with Forest Stewardship Council certification, come in three sizes and designs, ideal for single placement or a fantastic grouping. We like grouping items—when it&#8217;s done well, of course. Don&#8217;t worry, we can help.<span id="more-921"></span></p>

At LRM Interior Design, we have many ways, many <em>gorgeous</em> ways, to segregate areas of a room. One of our favorite ways is the old-fashioned way—use a folding screen. These screens from LatticeStix are unique, elegant and completely customizable. These screens use more than 100 pieces of wood, and all are connected using the Arts &amp; Crafts tradition of exposed joinery. You don&#8217;t get that kind of craftsmanship often in today&#8217;s world of mass production. But then again, we at LRM Interior Design only use the best for our clients.</p>

It can be used as a super-sleek in-bed dining tray, or in any of six other possible configurations. On it&#8217;s &#8220;side&#8221; it forms a &#8220;C&#8221;, creating a large amount of storage for reading material; or point the &#8220;legs&#8221; toward the wall for the illusion of a solid block; or with &#8220;legs&#8221; straight out for an open feel. There&#8217;s also a matching bed, and this bedside table&#8217;s versatility allows the bed&#8217;s under-bed storage drawers to be accessed without moving the table. Clever design—that&#8217;s what we expect from DWR.</p>

<p>We&#8217;re very proud to announce that Lisa McDennon and <a title="LRM Interior Design" href="http://www.lrmdesign.com/" target="_self">LRM Interior Design</a> is featured in <a title="Hinkley Lighting " href="http://www.hinkleylighting.com/" target="_blank">Hinkley Lighting</a>&#8216;s latest catalog feature &#8220;<a title="Hinkley Lighting Style Tips" href="http://www.hinkleylighting.com/be-inspired/lighting-tips/" target="_self">Lighting Style Tips and Ideas from Fabulous Designers</a>&#8220;.</p>
<p>In a series featuring renowned interior designers from across the country, Hinkley Lighting composes a simple yet articulate guide on how to properly utilize lighting, both natural and artificial, as an essential component in designing interior and exterior spaces.  Lisa McDennon has lent her impeccable eye for design to this guide, offering stylish tips on how to maximize the effectiveness of lighting in order to create the perfect ambiance.<span id="more-913"></span></p>
<p>Hinkley Lighting actively sought out our fearless leader for this feature, after monitoring her rise in the interior design world after she was named one of the <a title="House Beautiful Top 20" href="http://www.housebeautiful.com/decorating/next-wave-designers" target="_self">Top 20 to Watch by <em>House Beautiful</em></a>.  McDennon, who has always admired <a title="Hinkley Lighting " href="http://www.hinkleylighting.com/" target="_blank">Hinkley Lighting</a> for their craftsmanship, was thrilled to be invited to work on the Lighting Style Tips &amp; Ideas guide for <a title="Hinkley Lighting " href="http://www.hinkleylighting.com/" target="_blank">Hinkley Lighting</a>’s website and print magazine.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s always an honor to be recognized,&#8221; says Lisa. &#8220;But to be honored by and aligned with a brand that I admire is even more exciting! I look forward to a long relationship with <a title="Hinkley Lighting " href="http://www.hinkleylighting.com/" target="_blank">Hinkley Lighting</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hinkley Lighting has been illuminating the world one lighting fixture at a time since 1922.  Starting out as a small family company, <a title="Hinkley Lighting " href="http://www.hinkleylighting.com/" target="_blank">Hinkley Lighting</a> quickly grew to become one of the most respected designers and manufacturers of beautiful lighting fixtures in the world.  Hinkley Lighting prides on constructing, with superior craftsmanship, their products from the finest material available, to create lighting fixtures that blend both design and functionality.</p>
