More than a Man Cave or media room, this Bellevue interior designer worked with her clients on a ‘female-friendly’ two story sports and entertainment space. An equestrian theme tells the story of competitive horse riding plus a serious bar area for all tastes. And the large flat-screen is the focus for sporting events like Super Bowl 2012.

It all comes together for the Super Bowl

According to Fox News, “The fairer sex make up more than 40 percent of the fan base of the NFL, MLB and Nascar. In fact, female viewership of most sports has been growing greatly over the last decade.” Need some pointers before the big game? Feel unprepared? Read this post from Jen Mueller, Talk Sporty to Me, and you’ll be ready on game day.

In this all season entertainment and sports pavilion, luxury interior designer, Faith Sheridan says you can swim, smoke cigars while playing poker, shoot pool and sample your favorite drink and BBQ too. If you want to see all of the space you can click here for more photos. Here are some favorites.

So, you’ve sorted decorations and stored them for 2012. What about donations? Most important, what decorating dreams make up your Wish-List for 2012? A beautiful  interior requires motivation and discipline says this Seattle interior designer. You need 3 actions: cleanse, donate and target your decorating.

Entertain in Well Decorated Style

The cleanse and donate actions require an design audit with a critical eye. Just how long has that accent pillow, throw, lamp and so on been hanging around? Accessories are the jewelry in your rooms. Next, target the key decorative items you crave… a chair, lamps, vases, art. What is needed to add some dazzle to your room design?

Did your kitchen finesse the big Thanksgiving dinner? Was it a 5 Star event?  This Seattle interior designer suggests 5 basic improvements that make holiday entertaining memorable events for your family and friends.  Christmas, New Year’s and the Super Bowl are right around the corner.  Gather your family, friends and neighbors and start cooking in your beautiful interior and put some of these improvements to use this season.

Faith’s 5 Favorite Improvements for Holiday Occasions

• A standard 30″ range can be limiting with a larger menu and crowd.  A portable induction burner supplements your standard range and is readily available. I like this one from Fagor.

• Pull out your Crock Pot or slow cooker. From casseroles to roasts, these versatile appliances are work horses. I used this one from All-Clad for T-Day.

• Large crowds = lots of ice.  Consider a portable ice maker and save space in your freezer. Major box stores have them readily available.

• Small, portable wine and beverage fridges or installed dual-zone models will serve the home entertainer in good stead. I love Sub Zero for the selection.

• Ultimate cool new thing for your island and kitchen, the Cool Drawer from Fisher Paykel. A refrigerator, freezer and wine cooling drawer all in one.

Please enjoy a Happy and Healthy Holiday Season with your family and friends. 

This holiday season, gather family and friends in your kitchen and surround them with aromas of your marinara sauce simmering in your kitchen on your range. Imagine the stories, laughter and toasts as folks savor your tasty appetizers.

At Faith Sheridan Design Group, we applaud and congratulate lovers of cooking and food this season.

Mary Hoffman knows color ~”As a third generation employee with Benjamin Moore & Co, Mary Hoffman has experienced paint from a diverse perspective.” from Sunset Magazine. So when Mary says, “embrace color’ she means it.

As a Seattle interior designer, I soaked in her message at a presentation at the Kravet showroom. We’re all still mostly neutral but we want some pops of color to punch up our furnishings and walls to set our room and home designs apart.

Enter purple with grays, beiges and a touch of yellow.  One stellar fabric on a pillow, headboard, small chair or ottoman adds the punch that sets an otherwise dull setting apart, thanks to Pollack Fabrics.

Mary Hoffman noted that current fashion = current design and the Fall runway made shades of purple important this season.  Purple is the color for royalties. It stands for luxury, wealth, and sophistication. It is also the color of passion, romance and sensitivity.

Consumers love the practical benefits that accompany outdoor fabrics.  In the picture below (Brian Harken, photographer) from an article in the WSJ, the active toddler epitomizes the attraction and reason for the popularity for active families who desire beautiful interiors.

Outdoor Furniture Moves Indoors

My grandson loves to play using ottomans from Hickory Chair.

To protect them and also provide a colorful, practical solution, I had slipcovers made using a Trina Turk fabric from a F. Schumacher collection.
