Shout outs to Sunburst’s newest Share Your Shutters winner: Chelsey Rushworth! Her winning submission to #ShareYourShutters shows two rooms decorated with beautiful new Polywood faux wood plantation shutters that beautifully complement both her ornate window frames and modern decor.

 

Chelsey, who some may recognize on Instagram as Taste of Coffey, is a Boston-based interior designer who definitely has a unique eye for matching colors in her decorating. A quick look at her photos shows how she combines both neutral and brighter tones for a look that’s welcoming and comfortable, but fashionable all at the same time.

She even has a few pieces of advice for DIYers in Baltimore and around the country:

• Have a color scheme in mind. When you design a room, you’re always able to play with color to customize it. Make sure to pull in tones from either your home’s color pallet or ones that can accentuate it.

• Be flexible in how you use colors. I use shutters that are vibrant white and most of my furniture includes shades of gray, either fabric or weathered wood. So I decided to mix in pops of white and color accents.

Not only does Chelsey excel at using colors in her design, but her use of space in her home is great as well. From the placement of her chairs that guide the eyes right up to the wall and her plantation shutters, to the evenly-spaced accessories in her shelving, Chelsey’s home is modern, practical, and extremely livable without ever looking overdecorated.

As our contest winner this season, Chelsey will receive a gift card to a great restaurant in Boston, in addition to having her designs featured here. To see her entire body of work, take a look at her personal site at TasteofCoffey.com.

And if you think the shutters in your home look great enough to be our next winner, share them on Facebook or Instagram with the hashtag #ShareYourShutters. We want to see another Baltimore homeowner featured here!
