Fab Fabrics

I love fabrics and I love color!  

I can flip through fabric books & samples for hours every day.  I have been hooked on Vervain fabrics since my trip to the Denver Design Center two weeks ago.

The Barry Dixon Collection is definitely my favorite.

I'm in love with Ishtar! The color Cinnabar is as yummy as orange & raspberry sherbet.

This pattern comes in 5 different color ways. 

Simply divine, a barrel chair covered in Ishtar.

I can't wait to flip through my fabric books today, it makes my day.

Love This: Wing Chair

I received my Williams-Sonoma Home catalog the other day and the soft springs colors on the cover were very exciting.  As we have finally experienced what we call in Colorado, warm weather, I am really looking forward to Spring time.

One page in particular caught my eye.  The Anderson Wing Chair...

I imagine myself sitting in this chair with a cup of green tea blogging. The color is so soft it reminds me of coloring Easter Eggs.

The fabric is mini grid in sky blue.

 

The fabrics offered in this catalog are just wonderful.

I am thrilled that Spring is just around the corner.

Love This: Roman Shades

Amanda Nisbet Design is a pro with roman shades.  I love the simplicity of her designs, her shades make a statement and are so much a part of the overall design.  Not an after thought or made to coordinate with the room after it is complete, window treatments are such an important part of the design.

Not much pattern in the room, place it on the shade.  My favorite is adding an eye-catching band of contrasting fabric around the shade.

  

  

  

  

  

 

Butterfly shades have the a sleek smoothness of a flat Roman shade, with draped softness at the lower edge. 

Tobi Fairley does a really nice job with her designs and incorporating roman shades.

 

  

  

  

  

 

A great economical window treatment that controls light and provides privacy.   

 

A nice change from the same old blinds on every window... why not a roman shade instead?

Pattern, Paper and Walls

I Love Wallpaper...

This dogwood pattern is lovely!

 

Break up the room and place it on the top third of the wall rather than the entire room.

It's lovely in my clients dining room.

The collage of fabrics really pops with the black background.  Each frame is unique, different patterns and textures painted in the same shade of white.  I especially like the oval frame with a piece of the wallpaper, mounted on a frame riser.  My favorite collage I have done, so beautiful!

Try wallpaper on the dining table for the Holiday tablescape.

 

The candles are wrapped with care.

A special thanks to such a special person.  One of my favorite clients and an exceptional person, I am truly blessed to have you in my life Rebecca.

Thank you!

Love This Little Number

Ballard Designs offers the Courbe Ottoman in just about 100 different fabric options. You can send your own fabric for a lovely "custom" piece. Ranging in price $149-$309, very affordable for a designer look!

This pale soft fabric is one of my favorite choices.

I could put one to two ottomans in just about every room I design.

LOVE IT!

"The Mother Of Pearl" and Lighting...

I suppose you could call me "The Mother Of Pearl"...

Anyone that knows me, knows that I love pearls!

In fact, right now I am wearing my favorite pearl purchases from Silpada Jewelry.
The 7 strand bracelet paired with another pearl bracelet in which a charm dangles, a pearl ring and pearl earrings.

I wear pearls that both my grandmothers wore.

Pearls of all colors.

I don't only accessorize myself in pearls, I enjoy accessorizing living spaces with them also.
Mother of pearl has popped up in all accessories for the home over the past few years.

Imagine this pendant light hanging in a room painted with a dark color. How beautiful and how it would stand out.

Sconces for the bathroom with a few more touches of shells to hold a few pearl necklaces and silver rings.

This lamp would work in any room. On a night stand next to the bed or an entry table for a great first impression.

The options are endless anymore. Take a risk and try something that is not safe. You will suprise yourself, I'll bet taking a risk with lighting will turn out to be your favorite light in your home.
