Decor Inspiration: Lofty Cali Bungalow by Allison Bloom

May 17, 2012


A loft-inspired home in Mill Valley, CA
is soooooooo very fortunate to have
been designed by the talented and lovely
Allison Bloom.

Oh yes.
I can hear your sighs.

I sigh too.




And I have already written my love letter
to interior designer and Remodelista contributor
Allison, quite possibly thoroughly creeping her out.
But who can quiet themselves when it comes
to engaging, inspiring design?

*everyone on planet michele shrinks away with shame*


I think Allison and Dehn Bloom Design
are on to something
SOULFULLY DIFFERENT
and
FRESH
and
DEEP,
and I may not know much,





but I know raw beauty when I see it.

I see a 1920's bungalow breathing
with new life thanks to careful thought,
creativity, and intelligent design.





I see innovation and airiness
where excess could have spoiled
the view.





I see comfort.





Such an honor to share her work with you today...




and I have a sneaky suspicion you will
discover another 'Bloom lovely'
love-fest right here, very soon.

Teaser:
just think the most beautiful pantry transformation ever.

Are you enjoying the sunny view
as much as I am today?

Peace to you right where you are.

    OMG, that chandelier over the dining table and THAT DESK are to DIE for! Love it when a designer can show the use of restraint, it's so hard to do!
    Gorgeous!

    What a fabulous space! I sighed on the first picture the living room is so open and so fresh and clean. Love her use of open pieces as well, fabulous loft.

    Ohhhhh, it is pretty. I'm in love with the paintings... I would love to do some more abstract unique work like that... I particularly like the one in the dining area...

    Increadibly unique style she has, very inspiring & reinventing the old into modernist retro has never been very natural for me so it is great to keep on learning from such talenets, thanks...hugs Z
