Mar 12th 2010 {Inspired By} Jan Showers Interior Design
Jan Showers work is all about understated glamour. In each project, she works with a variety of design periods and styles. Her skill at mixing traditional furnishings with mid-20th century modern design allows her to create comfortable and inviting rooms. She says “Decorating is never successful if it is not personal. We always strive to reflect our client’s lifestyle and personality. I tell my clients that they need to look great and feel comfortable in their own rooms.” A woman after my own heart! I couldn’t agree more with that sentiment.
Besides running a successful interior design business, Jan Showers has her own line of furniture. Many of the designs are based off of antiques ~ they’re inspired by originals she found on buying trips in Paris. These pieces she collects come from many different eras in time. What’s the common thread, you ask? Each piece reflects a modern and glamorous aesthetic. I am particularly drawn to her collection of lamps.

Pop by Jan’s Notebook for a glimpse into what inspires her. She did a great post about top design trends for 2010 that is worth checking out. I especially love that she thinks skirted tables are back “in.” (Remember what our dining table looks like -YAY!) You can also do what I do and follow her @jshowers and become a fan on facebook.

The
LEO Designs’ focus is home accessories. Turn-of-the century pottery is arranged by color on every shelf, in and on top of vintage book cases. How I’d die to walk in one day and purchase an entire shelf of matte-green early American pottery -all at once! Can you imagine?
It’s worth a visit! LEO Design is located at 413 Bleecker Street, right near West 11th in the Village.
