Love: Color

Every now and then, I get a client who dares to go beyond "punch it up with pillows"...thank you, god...this home was so much fun to do: ombre walls, fabric collage, custom rugs AND all with a woman who exudes joy...
The before


the ombre walls in the salon...to keep things somewhat calm, sofa and living room walls almost the same

custom rugs; switched field colors - space is open, so continuity required in rugs and window treatments...I used same patterns in different colors
outside back a lovely print, inside a subtle plaid

Stickley entertainment unit balancing the other side of the room
long view capturing salon side panels - same embroidered pattern in two colors

more ombre on the salon side wall done by Patinas

small details make all the difference; mixed metals in the rodding and adding a cuff is like your windows wearing a bracelet!

Want: Every Home Needs One

There is quite a history to the 'chaise longue' (spelling correct), which translates to 'long chair', but I won't bore you with it....suffice it to say that the styling runs from Rococco to uber-modern and it's uses range from decorative to cozy to space bridging. Look around your home and see what could be swapped out or added to bring in a chaise...and go from merely having your feet up to utter repose

Bit of a velvet rope around this one, but what a focal point, especially in an industrial-chic interior

Serves as punctuation here...

...and as sculpture here
Lovely reading nook for a bedroom



When stretching out, add a bolster under your knees to keep them from hyper-extending




Bridges the room to serve as a perch for conversing with either side



As a room divider
