Nate Berkus and Anne Coyle in Chicago

The Chicago apartment designed by Nate Berkus and Anne Coyle for uber producer Ellen Rakieten was published in Elle Decor almost two years ago.  Even so, it's still one of my favorite projects to look at for inspiration.  For me it still feels very fresh.  I love the colors and the quirky mix of furniture and accessories. And a bouquet of peonies in the photos will always draw me in.  The room above is painted in Farrow and Ball off Black.  I so love the combination of the deep blue with  pink and lavender.

 The Living Room was painted Farrow and Ball gray blue, one of my favorites.  Every time I use this color, it looks a little different.  I guess that's the beauty of great paint; it changes with the light conditions. The floors and the architectural detailing are so "right".

I also really like the large-scale photographs by Mark Shaw.

 

This is one of my favorite dressing rooms.  I love the small desk area under the window, and the funky ornate table in the center of the space.

 

The gray and silver bathroom is another one of my favorites! Gray is such an simple and sophisticated color. You think it would be dull, but it's not at all.  This one is Benjamin Moore cliffside gray.
