Inspiring Design: Tori Mellott
I saw a blog post on the latest One Kings Lane "Tastemaker" Sale and I'm so happy to see that it's Tori Mellot. I don't know much about her but I know I love the spaces she has designed for herself.
One of my all-time favorite pictures that I ripped out of my Domino magazine's is this image:
I've had it in my binder for a couple years and I still LOVE it every time I come back to it. She has the perfect combination of fun/whimsical elements with a comfortable and almost classic vibe.
Moreover, the rest of this little apartment of hers was also perfectly done. Here is the kitchen:
She does such an amazing job of making the classic toile wallpaper look fresh and modern - right?
And, if you aren't impressed enough. Here was the image that the magazine ran as the "before" shot. I'm not a huge fan of purple but still, years later this doesn't seem like a "before" to me.
And, for good measure, two more lovely vignettes.
It's so cool to see how she used some of the same art pieces in different collages through-out these apartments.
