Kips Bay Decorator Show House - Designer Panel 1: Barbara Lewis, Chris Goddard & Janie Molster - Perfectly Palm Beach #14

We are so thrilled to welcome back our guest today, Janie Molster, who you may have heard on episode 117. She is an interior designer from Richmond, Virginia known for decorating spaces with exuberant color and a masterful mix of antique and contemporary pieces. Since we last spoke to her in 2019, she has written a book called House Dressing: Interiors for Colorful Living. Today we chat about her signature color usage, antiques, the importance of balance, and designing your house for TODAY and not waiting for someday!What You’ll Hear on This Episode: Trials &amp; Triumphs with gallery walls and wires, soft washing a 90 year old house, getting rid of bats, new windows and doors, finding the perfect nursery rug, and doggies ruining the perfect nursery rug. Janie’s philosophy is to make homes glamorous yet durable. Balance is the key! What are Janie’s rules when it comes to window treatments? How does Janie do pink so well? How to still have fun and be bold with neutral colors. What are Janie's tips to shop for antiques? What antique piece is Janie currently in love with? Janie’s design philosophy on ceilings and floors. Decorating Dilemma Hi Christie,I love where you’re going with the performance fabrics! To your point about patterns, I’m with you and think you should stick with a solid color. They have come a long way. If it were me, I would definitely consider going slightly darker on your sofa and in a warm taupe or gray to ground your room. Overall for your space go for warmth. On that back wall, I would do some sheer curtains (you can hear my rant earlier in the episode about curtains!). Then I would consider a console table for the back of that sofa. I can tell you’re drawn to a quieter mix of materials, so for patterns I would focus on pillows and lampshades. You could add something like an upholstered bench for when you have guests over and you could potentially add some pattern there. I would not get hung up on adding pattern to the pair of chairs; I would go with performance linen white. Art, like you said, is a great way to add color! Lastly, with the spaciousness of your room I think you can size up on your coffee table. Your furniture is rather spread out so I would consider pulling it in to make it more convivial. Don’t create a “time out” space for your guests!In your dining room, the chandelier is great. But it could also really use some beautiful and bold curtains! I would also consider painting the walls all the same color. If you’re nervous about patterned curtains, you could use the same color as the paint for warmth. And the colors from the rooms should speak to each other. Then I would put something fabulous that lives in the center of your dining table. It doesn’t have to literally be “alive” as it could be a collection of vases, sculpture, etc.You have such a great space with wonderful lighting. We love it and can’t wait to see what you do!Mentioned in This Episode:Janie Molster DesignsJanie Molster Designs on InstagramHouse Dressing also available at Target, Amazon, Barnes &amp; NobleHTD Episode 117Chairish1stDibs

Ep. 219:  designer Janie Molster

Janie Molster, Interior Designer in the Richmond, Virginia area, is known for her fun and light-hearted designs, mixing the beautiful with the well-choreographed messy. She joins the show this week to talk about her love of pink, decorating for the holidays, and why we don’t always have to go with the traditional red and green. We also all talk about decorating with comfort in mind first, when twin beds may be the way to go and creating symmetry that is pleasing to the eye. What You’ll Hear on This Episode:  More about Janie’s style, recently described as “pretty, happy, and layered.” To some, it may look like it’s done with abandon, but really it is choreographed with a ton of thought. The juxtaposition between the old and new in a home, and Janie’s suggestion that people mix and match objects they most love together even if it’s different style-wise. Janie’s top tree decorating tips including ribbon, colors, and not worrying about blending homemade with fancy. Janie’s love of pink since she was little, and ways we can create a Christmas-y feel without having to be tied to the traditional red and green. What a story about Disney cartoons with hairy arms has to do with design! New idea: Christmas trees that come with a remote? When twin beds and be engaging and pleasing, especially for people like Janie who do a lot of hosting. Why she loves pairs to create symmetry that is pleasing to the eye, and constantly recycling and swapping items from room to room. Janie explains her love of an upholstered headboard and gives some unique design thoughts on using them to spruce and liven up a room.  Mentioned In This Episode:  Janie Molster Designs @JanieMolsterDesigns House Beautiful  “In Defense of Twins” Decorating Dilemma  If your budget allows, Janie loves your idea of wallpaper. She would not only wallpaper the walls, but the ceilings as well, wrapping front to back. A stripe or vertical pattern can be really fun, and you can run it up the eaves vertically and across on top to create a cabana tent effect. The funky trimmed doors are so fun and filled with personality, and they could be so fun to accent as well. Great job and we are very impressed by you! One final note: Janie also thought having a custom headboard made could be really cool to get the feel of an arched headboard. __________________________________________________________________ If there is room on the other end of the sofa, a chair could go nicely there. Janie recommends creating two seating arrangements: one that is oriented to the TV and the other one under the windows. If you layered a room size rug and your current rug on top, it could hide a little of the asymmetry. If you are looking to fill up some wall space, more artwork or mirrors can look great — and only get a bookshelf if you are really needing space for more books! Our final thought is that adding some drapery could be great for adding some softness to the room.
