The last, (but certainly not least), designer I will showcase who selected Maitland-Smith furnishings for the Maison de Luxe at Greystone is Alissa Sutton. Alissa is a well-known designer based in California who does residential and commercial design. You may remember that she was a semi-finalist in the HGTV Design Star design competition in 2009.

The bedroom she created at Greystone is striking using a black and gold color scheme. For symmetry, she placed midnight black painted Maitland-Smith chests on both sides of the bed with antique Venetian mirrors and hanging chandeliers.
The whimsical wall on the left holds a collection of brass hands shown in various positions with a hat hanging on one. These fun pieces can be used singly anywhere in the home -- One at the back door would be perfect for holding the dog's leash at the ready for a long walk.
The oversized tufted headboard provides the perfect spot to lean back with coffee and read the Sunday morning paper without feeling guilty, and slowly begin the day. Perhaps her headboard inspiration comes from the headboard in her room at home which is her personal favorite.
Concerning her own headboard, she says, "It's just like the one they had on Green Acres, and I loved that show as a kid."
Here is a closeup of the chest. The top is gilded and the pulls are coral-shaped brass. Using a chest of drawers as a night table is functional as well as beautiful as the drawers provide additional storage space for the room.
The luxe interiors + design Maison de Luxe at Greystone Estate, will be open for another week, so don't miss the opportunity to see this room as well as rooms designed by Bravo's Million Dollar Decorators, Barclay Butera, Lori Dennis, and many more incredible designers.
