    Just as everyone is getting ready to head to the beach, I’m working on the next design personality for a person not necessarily in need of a beach – EARTHY MODERN.  It’s easy living…with lots of natural materials like driftwood, stone and rustic fabrics. It’s a little eco, a little country, and a little 70′s with disco balls and shags. Being a color addict it’s been a fun challenge, to stick to a more strict color scheme of neutrals to give the place a relaxing vibe. A pop of orange and some olive green is as colorful as it gets,oh a little eggplant purple. Here’s a few images that have inspired me.

    I love the beach, but summers are great like this too.

    I love this bedroom with it’s relaxing feel and Andrea Kakel IKEA bedding.

    Eco-vibe interiors.

    This white lake house.

    Christine Matthai’s animal photography.

    Just love a shag!

    A very Nate Berkus feeling foyer ( did he design this?)

    Interior design Lee Kleinhelter

    Sisal, driftwood tables and gray.

    Image via Space for Inspiration.

    A relaxing 70′s European vibe that could be my brother’s place.

    This modern Connecticut horse country vibe.

    Julianne Moore’s apartment.

    I don’t know about you, but I think this is a really livable modern look.

    Looking around it’s hard not to let nature inspire your interiors. Fall is finally here in Virginia and leaves are turning all kinds of beautiful colors.  One of the personalities/homes I’m designing right now for LiveLikeYou is inspired by nature and some of these images.

    An earthy, nature infused, modern, fall inspired look.

    An orange carpet with an earthy print….

    A natural driftwood table.

    Fall colored bed linens like these by LULU DK…

    ….sisal rugs…

    White slip covers, dark espresso walls, orange book case….

    …touches of zebra.

    A pickled wood cabinet from Bungalow 5.

    Interesting, modern light fixtures, like these ones from Oly Studio, in the cool kitchen designed by Amanda Nisbet.

    Or a dandelion glass fixture.

    A four poster bed, in an all white bedroom, with a fall colored bed spread….

    …filled with beautiful black and white images of horses by Christine Matthai.

    Now I just need a fireplace!
