Designer Sneak Peek: Nathan Turner

Published on March 17, 2011 in Designer Spotlight. 2 Comments

Ohhhh, goodness.  We’ve really done it this time.  We Covet Living heifers have managed to score our own personal Q&A session with one of our all-time favorite interior designers, the ingenious Nathan Turner.  Not only is he one of the foremost LA-based decorating and entertaining gurus, a renowned antiques expert, and the owner of a beautiful decor/textiles store perched in a quaint and adorable neighborhood in West Hollywood, he’s also one of the coolest, nicest people you’ll ever meet.

But before we get ahead of ourselves… just take a peek at one little corner of his amazing shop (below).  Heavens to Betsy, have you seen anything so cool?  And yes, that is an orange, leather chair.  Bad-ace. Further pics and our Q&A to follow next week:

Fab wallpaper vendor Walnut Wallpaper has some goodies on sale this week over at One Kings Lane.  (Update 3/25/12:  The “Captain Smith” in color Epoque is by Katie Deedy of Grow House Grow and available HERE.)  This serene, aquatic, dreamy design could do some REAL pretty things to a space.  But if you’re not keen on doing a whole room in it, try framing a few panels like artwork (in frames or in molding), comme ça:

Or cover the inside of a closet – quel surprise!

You could also use the remnants to line dresser drawers…

…cover a lampshade (this is fabric, but you get the idea):

…or line a pretty tray, make placemats, cover ugly boxes for storage, etc.  There are oodles of NOODLES of possibilities…  wheeeeeeeeeeee (!)
