heather garrett design

553164375_egsl9-l
well good morning, beautiful rooms that should be mine. each of these gorgeous spaces is the work of durham, north carolina designer, heather garrett. i particularly love the kitchen heather’s design below- it’s the glamorous kitchen of my dreams. one day (in my dreams) i’d like to host fancy dinner parties in a kitchen that’s pretty enough to not only cook in, but entertain guests. if you’re in durham, be sure to stop by heather’s shop, or click here to see more of heather’s work online. [thanks, heather!]

Beautiful! Love the hanging lamps and the kitchen.

What a cozy home! Lots of fun eye candy everywhere you look. :)

Very lovely! I love the retro/modern mix and feel of the spaces. Antlers & branches are definitely a reoccurring theme throughout as well. Outdoor elements turned contemporary is such a great surprise.

June 15th, 2009 - 9:48 am

What an amazing space. I have a similar guitar…that’s about it.

Yay for NC design! How perfectly glamorous, cozy with a nature-y vibe. What a great juxtaposition!

Wall paper/painted brick half and half kitchen – works brilliantly – a beautiful home

June 15th, 2009 - 10:07 am

Oh my! I love the oversize botanical artwork in the sitting room. Any idea as to where it’s from?

Sallie said:

Lovely! I would also like to know what color the bedroom paint is…or a suggestion for a comparable color.

oh my goodness! Love it ALL! That oranged tufted bench!! The stunning oversized botanical piece!! The gorgeous light fixture in that last image… oh my!

June 15th, 2009 - 10:26 am

That shelf detailing in the kitchen is just about the prettiest thing I’ve seen in a while. Really really beautiful!

Heather uses the best lighting. Wow! I think I want every single lamp and pendant.

June 15th, 2009 - 10:56 am

This is one of my favorite homes shown here so far. Everything is so beautiful! I really love the color palette in each room.

Very sophisticated in a way that you feel comfortable living (not in a don’t-touch kind of way)! I’d love to know the paint color in the living room with the orange ottoman…very similar scheme to what I’m aiming for. Thanks for sharing!

I want the antler wreath! Did she make it?

June 15th, 2009 - 11:46 am

Please, please share your lighting resources. I am in Greensboro NC, and have been searching (to no avail) for a beautiful light fixture. Is the last one the Meri White drum by Oly? And can you tell me what fixture is over the first two pictures? Thanks so much for the tour of your beautiful home.

This is one of my favorite sneak peaks. It’s really beautiful.

June 15th, 2009 - 12:35 pm

I am a mess over that kitchen! SO in love am I! Only one suggestion, Heather… start taking some pro bono work purely on my behalf!

June 15th, 2009 - 1:08 pm

There are rhythms of white on white light patterns that keep my lashes fluttering in the most delightful way.

Jessie said:
June 15th, 2009 - 1:18 pm

Yeah, Heather! Yeah, Durham design! Beautiful work, as always. :)

June 15th, 2009 - 2:01 pm

I covet that kitchen. And all the rooms are so well-lit. Loves it.

Angela said:
June 15th, 2009 - 3:13 pm

I’m intrigued- what is that trap door under the kitchen counter ?

katie said:
June 15th, 2009 - 4:40 pm

i lovelovelove the kitchen, especially the barstools and the polka-dotted pitcher turned vase.

Bethany said:
June 15th, 2009 - 4:53 pm

Oh my gosh… I want, want, WANT that orange ottoman. Anyone know where it came from, or where to find something similar?

Bernie said:
June 15th, 2009 - 4:56 pm

Definitely my favorite sneak peak in a while

heather said:
June 15th, 2009 - 6:22 pm

ditto the request for lighting details, please. particularly the pendents over the bar between the kitchen and dining area.

June 15th, 2009 - 8:34 pm

Gee, so glad people enjoyed these photos! Here are some of the things I used to work on these rooms…
Bedroom paint is by Ben Moore, in the Preview collection, and although I’ve misplaced the exact shade I know it was in the vein of Venetial Marble. The crazy persimmon suede Jonathan ottoman is by Oly. Re lighting, the pendant lanterns over the kitchen counter are by Jamie Young, white sculptural Meri drum in the foyer by Oly, dining room light by Nuevo. The oversized quince print is by NC’s own Ippy Paterson. And I cut a cat door into a remote lower cabinet for kitty’s box!

Does anyone know where the canopy bed is from? Love it!

Allison said:

The kitchen deserves to be used in a film … it has such an inviting feeling!

Lindsay said:
June 15th, 2009 - 10:35 pm

I too would love to know where the canopy bed is from pretty please!! :)

Love this home – the mantle type design/arrangement above the stove gives such a neat feel – it’s not often something makes you stop and look harder and it did. Thanks for sharing.

I love the use of antlers in the decorating. I think the piece in the kitchen looks amazing next to the wall paper!

Nicki said:
June 16th, 2009 - 1:00 am

Awesome! Beautiful colours. Really like all of the whites. And, love the barstools in the kitchen. Anyone know where I can snag some of these?

Stacey Brawner said:

Heather- the house looks fantastic. Would you provide info on where the antlers and the bedside tables are from? Thanks!

Cole said:
June 16th, 2009 - 12:05 pm

I would like to know where the antler wreath is from as well.
Gorgeous home – thank you so much for sharing.

I would love to know the blue paint color from the bedroom? It is gorgeous!

Abby said:

I second Winifred. The kitchen IS the most beautiful room I’ve seen in a long time. Lovely.

June 18th, 2009 - 3:16 pm

A few more sources…the bar stools are from Design Workshop in stamped black crocodile…bedside cabinet and antler wreath are both from Oly…sorry, but the canopy bed is a one-of-a-kind! Trying to find the blue bedroom paint color.

Wow, I obsessed with this kitchen. It’s so beautiful! If that was my kitchen maybe I’d even cook.

June 28th, 2009 - 10:57 pm

Beautiful. Great soft lighting.
