Coveted Crib: Chez Sheila Bridges
You may remember interior designer Sheila Bridges from our Designer Spotlight or from Domino and ELLE Decor, or her spot on the Fine Living network. Voted one of America's best designers, she can transform any space with a bold use of color and whimsical accents, while maintaining a traditional sensibility. She doesn't reserve these techniques solely for her clients though; her Harlem apartment is perhaps the best illustration of her knack for design.
Designer Spotlight: Christopher Coleman
I first took notice of Christopher Coleman when I saw him sitting next to Sheila Bridges (a designer whose work never fails to impress me), in the June 2007 issue of ELLE Decor offering advice on the best weatherproof tables for your home. I figured that anyone associated with Bridges (and anyone that good looking) must be worth checking out, and I was right.
Christopher Coleman is a born and bred Baltimore boy and a graduate of the Maryland Institute for Contemporary Art, who founded his own design firm, Christopher Coleman Interior Design, in Brooklyn's hip DUMBO district in 1993.
Designer Spotlight: Sheila Bridges
Though she's an interior designer in name, Sheila Bridges' job description includes everything from hosting a show on the Fine Living network to appearing as a design pundit on "Oprah" to decorating the Harlem office space of Bill Clinton. And if an interior designer can achieve national fame, Bridges has done it. Since founding her own firm in 1994, she's been named America's Best Interior Designer by CNN and Time magazines.

Crave Worthy: Chinoise Garden Bird Toile Plate Set
I must admit, I am, in most cases, not a huge fan of chinoiserie. I'm also a nonfan of toile, aside from Hazelnut's New Orleans toile and Sheila Bridges' Harlem toile. But, the two styles blended together in this Chinoise Garden Bird Toile Plate Set ($224) is actually quite the eye pleaser.
Your Favorite Female Interior Designer
As part of our Best of 2007 polls, you named Charlotte Moss as your favorite interior designer. I do love Charlotte's couture living design philosophy and her attention to detail, so I see where you're coming from. But, I have to say I think the whimsical touches and bold color choices of Sheila Bridges' interiors are more my speed.Source
