Let’s Go Visit: Joel & Maria Pirela
Monday, June 30th, 2008
Hi everybody! This starts our first “Let’s Go Visit” post! Yay! This new category will feature home tours and interviews with their creative & loving owners. Click Here if you would like to have your home featured!
Today we are visiting Joel & Maria Pirela. I love the clean lines, pops of color, and vintage finds in the Miami home of Joel & Maria Pirela of Blue Ant Studio. My favorite would definitely be that of the dining area. The red chairs are absolutely fantastic floating on top of the “hide” rug, and their daughter Isabellas room is super cute and sweet! Okay, so let’s head on over to Joel & Marias…
Let’s Go Visit: Joel & Maria Pirela
Occupation: Tactical design consultants
Home Location: Miami, Florida
Style of home: Modern with mid century touches

Favorite Rooms/spots: Living room and daughter Isabella’s room
Design/decor challenges when it came to decorating: the biggest challenge was figuring out how to deal with today’s run of the mill construction to make it more “your style”
Favorite shops/boutiques for decorating their home: Design Within Reach, Highbrow Furniture, CB2, Ikea, Herman Miller, and ebay for vintages and clocks!
5 words that would describe how you would want someone who is visiting your home to feel: relaxed, airy, bright, lounge-y, chillax (is that a word?).


Thanks so much Joel & Maria for sharing such a lovely abode with us!
