Jonathan Berger in House Beautiful

I just bought the July 2009 House Beautiful because of the cover!  I loved the hot pink chairs and the way the table was styled with the pink beverages, cheese and pink roses.

The most fabulous part of this house designed by Jonathan Berger is the foyer in Razzle Dazzle by Benjamin Moore.

Here it is shown going all the way up the stairs too!  I love the way no attempt was made to coordinate the colour with the area rug on the second floor, but it certainly looks great with the zebra print runner and black painted steps!

I think a strong colour like this really works in an entry where you don’t spend a lot of time!  It’s a show stopper for guests but then you go into the living room where all is calm [below] and the only suggestion of flow from the entry is the hot pink toss cushions on the sofa.

I just love the unexpected combination of pink and orange together.  I have geraniums in the same colour all along the front of my house this summer!  Stunning!

Have you ever bought a magazine just because of the front cover?
