Did you ever come home from elementary school and spend the afternoon rearranging the sofas around the living room? Did your family have a huge hall closet filled with silk throw pillows in a rainbow of colors for “seasonal refreshments?” My brothers and I certainly grew up thinking this was the norm due to our interior designer mother, Jane Ellison.

This week HGTV.com is featuring some of my mom’s interior design work! Two of her rooms are starring in the slide show of Asian-Inspired Design Ideas.

An elegant sitting room-office with shockingly chic blue walls.

A bright and airy breakfast nook.

To see more of my mom’s designs on HGTV you can check out her designers’ portfolio.

This living room (my childhood home) is one of my favorites.
