How to Design With: Painted Terra Cotta Tile
This is the very first article in what I hope will be an informative and enjoyable series of posts, which will be published about once a month. With each article, I’ll explore ‘How to Design With” a specific type of material, finish, furnishing, or accessory for your home. I’ll be sure to include my thoughts…
Read More“Just Trust Me”: Thoughts on the Client-Designer Relationship
Fair warning – I’m about to dive into some controversial waters here. And they are shallow. I’m not in the deep end. [Note to self: Watch A Star is Born again on Netflix…]. I’m including some random, pretty pictures (detail shots from my portfolio) to keep your attention, and to hopefully keep you from getting…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: Julien SocialCorner Sink & Newport Brass Taft Pull-Down Faucet
This is a very special edition of #FFFFind! This week’s finds are products that were recently incorporated in “The Morning Kitchen” that Dianne Aucello (Edesia Kitchen & Bath Studio) and I created for the Junior League of Boston 2017 Designer Show House, which just closed a couple of weeks ago. If you weren’t able to…
Read MoreFive Years Young
Last week, out of the blue, I started getting all of these emails from LinkedIn congratulating me. For what, I wondered? As it turns out, it is my ‘work anniversary.’ I started Kelly Rogers Interiors five years ago. In the beginning, I blogged – with varying degrees of success (here’s an oldie but goodie from…
Read MoreDogs of Design: When Hounds Bear an Uncanny Resemblance to Their Homes
Have you ever heard people say that dogs and their owners start to look like each other after awhile? I totally believe this to be true. While I was photographing a room in my house a little over a year ago with Eric Roth, it dawned on me that maybe dogs and their homes also begin…
Read MoreRoom Reveal: A Restful Bedroom for (Brand) New Parents
I recently had the opportunity to work with a great couple who I learned (after our first meeting!) was expecting their first child – a boy. I helped with a few decisions for the nursery and other areas, but mostly my focus was decorating their master bedroom in a new construction home in Wellesley. They…
Read MoreGot Questions?
I hope all of you parents out there survived Halloween! Is it just me or is this holiday getting more and more drawn out every year? Don’t get me wrong – I do like Halloween. But as with any good holiday, I’m also a little relieved when it’s finally over. I think my little Alvin…
Read MoreThe Allure of Antique Portraits
Maybe it’s the art history major in me, but every time I see a photograph of a room with a prominent antique portrait, I get a little weak in the knees. They lend warmth to a crisp contemporary space, balance whimsy with a dash of gravitas, and lend a sense of depth and history…and dare…
Read MoreMoody Hues
Although the “bathed in white” aesthetic (as I like to call it) is still going strong, I have also noticed an emerging trend in quite the opposite direction. Rooms that envelop you with strong, deep, dark colors are providing a visual antidote to all the white-walled light-and-brightness. Yes, even black! I can almost hear painters across…
Read MoreAn Interview With Traci Zeller
Have you ever met someone and thought, this is exactly what and who I want to be in 5 years? This is precisely what happened to me two years ago when I was introduced to Charlotte-based interior designer Traci Zeller at the High Point spring market (OK, I think I introduced myself 🙂 ). She…
