Sneak Peek - House Beautiful December

I'm very excited to share a sneak peek of The Next Wave feature in the upcoming December issue of House Beautiful. It features the gorgeous Georgetown apartment of Matthews Bees, a Washington based designer and owner of Niche Interiors. Matthew refers to his look as Southern transitional and his space, bathed in a stunning deep green, is a fresh mix of traditional elements with a dash of modern.

Family photos are mounted in floating frames, giving them prominence while allowing the green walls to keep center stage. Love this!

Here's are just a few of Matthew's picks from The Next Wave feature. Favorite lamp, Mary McDonald's Ondine and favorite coffee table, John Saladino's iconic three-legged table.

Now Accessory: CB2's Numi candlesticks.

This shop is gorgeous. I love the green, and the floating art is perfect. I floated a piece of art my daughter gave me.
Happy Wednesday.
