Entry Obsession

I've become infatuated with the entry below designed by Colleen McGill. I love the dramatic effect of the dark mirror over the white wall paneling...the cherry on top is that killer lucite console table. I'm also seriously digging the bubbly pendant light hanging overhead. To die for, isn't it?

Via Style at Home, Photo by Donna Griffith

This first photo is from Style at Home and the feature is all about Winter Whites, so the home is styled with that theme in mind. As I've mentioned before, white is among my favorite colors, so that way is my personal pick. In the following shots, there's not as much contrast going on.




Colleen heads up McGill Design Group and as you'll gather from the portfolio shots below, she is quite a talent. She is clearly willing and able to execute a wide variety of styles. Despite the variance in styles, all of McGill's projects impart the same smart, luxurious feeling. There are so many moves and methods to admire, but I am especially impressed with the outstanding millwork and thoughtful cabinetry used throughout her projects. She obviously has a strong appreciation for architectural details and completely understands how they can be implemented to elevate a room.
















All photos above from McGill Design Group

Hope you've enjoyed the tour of my favorite rooms from Colleen's portfolio! Head over to the McGill Design Group site to see the whole gamut.  Lots of great inspiration for those who love neutral palettes. 

Did you have any favorite rooms or elements? If so, do tell. After seeing her work, I'm completely convinced that I need more oversized, full-length mirrors in my house...at minimum, I want one in our entry.

Have a great weekend!

    I'm in love with the chandeliers used in the entryway and in the 1st bedroom. Any ideas where those are from?

    Gorgeous! I definitely like the first image of the entry best. The high contrast is what makes it. Of course, I'm noticing all of the Visual Comfort/Circa Lighting in the various rooms. :)Her work is beautiful!

    Totally with you - just love her work (and will mosey over there next). Adore her clean, elegant tailored style. I am obsessed with millwork and architectural details so her work is right up my alley. I love everything but I would have to say my favorite shots are the bedroom with the spectacular built ins, the mahogany powder room, the detail of the kitchen cabinetry right below it and the beautifully detailed hallway with parquet floors and dark double doors. Thank you for the wonderful introduction!

    I wonder if I could live with all the white? It's a fabulous place just the same.

    Love Colleen McGill! Do you have any idea what kind of fabric I could use to imitate those off-white heavy drapes in all her rooms? Thanks!
