What can I say about Nate? Only good things of course. He is funny, sweet, charming, warm, passionate, talented and of course I must mention that he is absolutely gorgeous!
He is one of my all-time favorite interior designers and we go way back! Nate might not remember this, but I was at one his very first book signings for Home Rules in the front row!
Here I am with friends in the front row! Check out the lady to my right it’s Brooke from Fabulous Doodles.
Here’s Nate waiting to sign our books!
That book signing was way back in 2005! From his days on Oprah, to seeing his own designs hit my favorite shelter magazines to being able to purchase items designed by him for my home I’ve been along for the ride.
Nate’s latest venture is his own show that is set to launch on September 13th! Due to the savvy nature of a pair of bloggers know as the Moggit girls and the power of twitter there will now be an audience of design bloggers at one of the shows!
Now you might be wondering why a lot of your favorite design bloggers are discussing Nate today. Well Julieann of CreateGirl came up with the idea to make today Nate Day and get Nate excited for his blogger filled audience.
You can check out all of the bloggers takes on Nate here!
Ok now back to the matter at hand. My favorite Nate room! Of course I can’t just pick one so here are my favorites!
Who doesn’t love Nate’s Manhattan apt? Those white floors, those lacquered doors and tasteful accessories! Once Nate realizes we are meant to be BFF it’s nice to know he has a place to stay well visiting me. 🙂
This room totally speaks to me and I feel completely reflexes who he is. It’s simple yet elegant with a touch of glam and world traveler thrown in for good measure.
I have no idea where this room is, but I love all the weathered pieces in the room. I’m dying to see pictures of the rest of this house.
So simply yet this set-up speaks volumes to me. Love the natural wood, the element of nature, amazing light fixture.
Since I’m a huge color lover I must say this room is one of my all time favorites. Love all the tufting. Love the green sofa! Love those burlap like roman shades! Love the shelves to house all of your treasures from travels. Love, love, love!
This is another love, love, love room. Amazing flooring…check, amazing chairs…check, amazing tulip table….check, amazing lighting fixture…check. Truly a stunning room!
Oh Nate I feel like I’ve watched you grow since the very beginning. I wish you nothing, but success! Can’t wait to see the show and I hope to get be in the blogger audience!
What’s your favorite Nate room?
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]
What to look for when it comes to picking out kitchen appliances: Leave room in your budget for appliances. When it comes to kitchen renovations everyone knows that the cabinetry and the labor of demoing and installing cabinetry is going to eat a lot of your budget. However, the second most expensive part of a […]
I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that designing a kitchen is an overwhelming undertaking. I’m an interior designer and even I find it stressful to iron out all of those details. So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]
I heart Nate, too! I love the fact you got a chance to meet him in person. If I catch him in Atlanta, I'll be dragging him home with me 😉
That living room with the green tufted sofa is going straight into my inspiration files – it's gorgeous!
