Independence Day typically conjures images of nautical stripes and shiplap but Casa V Interiors prefers red and blue with a worldly twist.
Traditional New England style is loved by many as it is classic and all-American. It may be un-American but never the less, this look has never appealed to me personally. At least, not for my own home. Maybe it comes from my mother. She always suffered from wanderlust filling our home with treasures from all over the world.
Like my mother, the following designers also dream of exotic places. They add a touch of international flair to their homes and projects giving them a unique appeal.
Michelle Nussbaumer injects international flair into all of her homes despite the location.
