I love this Mary McDonald designed store. In fact it would be the perfect inspiration for a living/dining area. The mix of color, pattern and texture is gorgeous. Mary's website has been updated, if you'd like to check it out clickhere.
I teach a retail design class at Endicott College, it allows me to hang on to piece of my previous {clothing/fashion} related career. Plus, it's great to get inspired by store + fashion design. A fitting example of fun + fashionable is Kate Spade's latest 5th avenue store. The multi colored -stripes are so effective at moving your eye through the space.
