PSI Design Mention in The Green Scene

March 22nd, 2010

New Picture (1)

PSI was recently mentioned in The Inside Source’s featured story The Green Scene.  Our ceiling tile wall series was featured as a great way to incorporate every day items into wall decor. Be sure to read the full story here.  Thanks for the mention, Marni!

“I always like to mingle vintage or antique objects into a room, especially if they are everyday objects. They have a unique sense of character and charm that you just can’t get from new pieces. The key is to train your eye to find the extraordinary in the ordinary.”

- Adrian Truluck, principal designer, on incorporating vintage finds within her work.

The Urbane Traveler, designed by Eileen Joyce

 

 

Thanks to all of our readers who weighed in on their favorites for our reader poll.  Here’s what you voted for…

 

3rd Place: Apartment Therapy

The bold wallpaper of this room isn’t for everyone, but the funky style of this Apartment Therapy design placed 2nd in the Big Window Challenge.

2nd Place:  ELLE DECOR

You loved the bright colors and ornate coffee table,  but the influx of “stuff” in the room turned some of you away.  This design by Eddie Ross is a mix of classic and modern meant for a modern woman.  An appealing interior to appreciate, but from your comments, some would rather admire from a distance.

And Our Reader Winner Is… Bloomingdale’s

Most of you said you could picture this design by Eileen Joyce in your home, and we had a feeling this would be the winner.  The simple, stylish New York City inspired room looks comfortable and inviting, a room that most of you said you picture yourself living in.

The reasons to celebrate in 2010 keep coming.  We’re delighted to have Allison join the PSI team as Studio Coordinator Intern.  A  recent graduate from Wake Forest and previous event-planning intern for local wedding planner Kristin Newman, Allison has a passion for interior design, impeccable taste and an urge to gain experience and knowledge within the industry.  She’s been a wonderful addition thus far, and it never hurts to add a brunette into the mix.
