Pamela Anderson's new wicker furniture collection, 'The Sentimentalist,' for Olive Ateliers is a reflection of her love for gardening and outdoor living, showcasing her design sensibilities.

Lately we've noticed designers, artists, and even jewelers making their own collections of knobs, drawer pulls, and handles that are anything but an afterthought-they're a statement.

"Accent walls. Yes, still."

Making a small bathroom both beautiful and functional is a tall task; after all, they're often short on light, floor space and lofty ceilings. Creating a design for tiny bathrooms should focus on using every inch of space effectively - but since each of these spaces (no matter how small!) have walls, a paint color may be your most important choice.

"Other than central air being added at some point along the way, this room appears to have not been touched for quite some time," Brielle says. But, of course, old homes come with their quirks. "It has slanted ceilings, uneven floors, picture rail crown molding, attic door access, holes in the walls, and peeling windows," she says. Still, Brielle "immediately fell in love with all of its character and could not wait to transform it into [her] sanctuary."

"color drenching" is when people paint an entire room one hue, including the ceiling, wainscotting, and any trim.

Rather than banish all of Brandon's books to the office, the designer took advantage of the long open wall in the living area to create a library wall. "Millwork/cabinetry can be very expensive ... so in came IKEA!" Michelle says. "BILLY bookcases are such a great product - easy to put together and well-priced. We measured how many we could fit together on the wall to create a grand library wall," she adds. It turns out nine was the magic number. Brandon and their friends assembled all of the BILLY bookcases, which fit perfectly into the available wall space. "I'm not a DIY person," Brandon admits. But with a bit of help, the bookcases came together in a snap.

"I really wanted it to look more pleasing to the eye," Sheri says of her "20-year-old builder-grade kitchen in the suburbs." It had orange-toned maple cabinets, tan tile floors, and laminate countertops. "I did not like the floors, cabinet color, microwave, [and] basic closed-in feeling," she adds.

Mixing wood tones can be a bold and rewarding design choice, but the potential for unseemly clashing is real. With a room as important as your kitchen, you want the space to feel inviting, stylish, and functional all at once. Before diving head-first into mixed wood tones, research the different ways to avoid a potentially ugly contrast. Kitchen flooring, backsplashes, cabinets, countertops, and even light fixtures all have the potential to be transformed with a wooden facelift.
