Mexico Project

Here are some pictures of the house being constructed in the jungle of Tulum. The ocean is on one side and the lagoon on the other - spectacular views! The turquoise color of the water is a real inspiration for the interior colors. We worked hard on spacial changes, plumbing fixtures, and lighting. It was interesting that Kohler was the main brand for plumbing. I guess I was expecting not to see the same products. It is a small world. With an Italian builder and a Mexician architect, it was an world wind of ideas. The hardest thing was the conversion of inches to cm but the guys were great!

More to come but this week I am off to Costa Rica with another client. I hope to post of video of that project.

New project in Mexico

I am off for a new adventure in Tulum Mexico. I have a client building a house down there and they have asked me to help design it. It has a traditional palapa in the center with a roof top pool over one of the out buildings. The foundations are in so I'll take pictures as the progress continues as well as all the cool design related decisions. Bridget Beari is going international!!

New Online Magazines

What do we think of this new online Home Decor Magazine - Lonny! Is this the new wave of printing - no more hard copies?

I do love the insider tips and shopping guides.

Southern Living

Check out the October issue of Southern Living! The article on the bishop home has some wonderful ideas.



The Morrocan lanterns are a great mix with the rustic ceiling. I have just installed something similar in home with a more modern feel. The mix is a fun surprise.



Look at the unique rock pattern in the pathway. I wish I could see more. The accent of black stones create a curved pattern that is echoed in the arbor's woodwork.



And finally the block stone on the wall that continues as the surround - Lovin it! The chocolate brown color is warm and inviting. The large brick size is a perfect accent. I think it is slate?


This has been a great issue but December will be even better when the Bridget Beari holiday issue comes out!

Style Make Over?

I have a new obsession: Rachel Zoe's hair! I have never been into "boho chic" but maybe it is time for a new look. I think I'll go blonder and messier - Is it a look for me? I even like the chunky jewelry ( I have worn the same jewelry everyday for years)

If only I could find a hair stylist in Richmond that could produce this look. As I change I'll post the photos. My new look for my new adventures in Mexico and Central America. Oh by the way I have 2 new jobs that will take me out of the country. I'll post my travels as well.

Rhome Magazine

Check us out in this month's issue of Rhome Magazine. The article features three different rooms with three different styles. All the inside scoop into "what makes a good design."
