Designer Spotlight on Mr. Carleton Varney.
How can you look at the cover of his book and not want to know more about him???
Bring it on, Mr. Color.
There is an entire article on Mr. Varney in House Beautiful that you can check out, but these are a few of the gems that I thought were particularly lovely ( I just feel lady-like when talking about a dude that wears ascots...):
Crushing on Carleton? You betcha.

Drama for sure!
Love the eat-in kitchen space. Love the touches of black & white in these rooms.
Love a man who's not afraid of color. Or an ascot. Ha!
I'm really digging the room with the corn flakes box. I see it as art. So playful .
Ascots are totally underrated :) Great Find! I adore the blk and wht stairs....

Also loved your post on banquets yesterday. I've always thought I would love a kitchen nook with one.
have a great day!
That first room just stole my heart! Love it :) xoxo
Oh I've seen most of these pics many times before, and I love them sooo much, but I never knew who designed any of them, so thank you so much for the "introduction"!
PS: I really love your blog, and added it to my blogroll ;-)

I cannot get over that gorgeous foyer!
I'm so inspired by that kitchen, with the black and white and touches of yellow.

Ascots? Now this is my kind of guy! His decorating skills don't hurt either :)
Wow! These homes are amazing and their mix of colors and patterns is incredible. xo style, she wrote
Carlton has such a fun style! Love his use of color and pattern, he trained with one of the best, Dorothy Draper.
My design class got to meet him in New York when we were there on our annual design trip one year, such a great experience!
Definitely crushing on Carleton! That pale pink and dark coral are just delightful together and oh so girly in all the best ways!
Those are beautiful! Somebody has some real talent...and money...and it's NOT me.
