Spotlight on Design - Nicola Manganello - Part 3


A little bit more  from Nicola.  

The photos here are just some of my favorite Nicola images.  Unlike the previous posts they don't necessarily belong to the home in the first photo.  

Nicola creates such warm and inviting spaces that would be so easy to live in.  Just wonderful!

Here is yet another magnificent home.  Once again there is such a great mix of materials.  Love the picket fence.

This table is fantastic!  Noah actually has that exact pendant light in his room.  I like the mix of light and dark.  If I come to think about it Noah has a creamy white wood bed as well.

An antique newel post.  Mixing the old and new again!

This dining room combines a great mix of elements that are both formal and fun.  Can you imagine how comfortable and cozy dining by the fireside would be?  Oh - and sitting around after dinner talking and being able to curl up on the sofa a bit would be nice!  I love that this room is a very formal space but has been made playful with the addition of the chalkboard wall and casual table.  I also like the mix of chairs along with a sofa.  The beautiful artwork above the fireplace and crystal chandelier adds to the formal aspect of the room. 

This bedroom is so spacious and serene.  The colors are very soothing and one of my favorite things is the drapery.

Here is a look into the adjoining bath.  It has a mirrored vanity and just look at the cabinet over the tub!  I would have to say it is a very pretty bath.

The bench in this kitchen looks like another relaxing dining spot!

I really have just skimmed the surface on the work of this talented lady.  For more of all that is Nicola visit her website here.  It is loaded with more beautiful images, video tours, an online store, and a link to her blog.  In the near future I really hope we will see her, once again, grace the pages of Better Homes and Gardens Magazine. 

 Nicola also has two new lines of bedding at Garnet Hill.  This is her second season of bedding.  I really like the Yarmouth plaid throw and the Sunday Morning comforter cover and sham shown in this photo. Click here to go to Garnet Hill's website.

Thanks so much for reading!

  7. This is all so charming. Very seriously, however, I want that dining room. As in, I think I want to give away my table and chairs and shamelessly copy that space...Swoon.
