"Cute Quilt Idea"...for windows

So, if you have access to fabric samples or have left over textiles, here is a great way to recycle them.  Take a regular inexpensive vinyl blind and glue patterns randomly.  The colors can vary, depending on your taste.  I think this is great for a country home or even in a modern setting.  In a modern setting I would use modern shapes, stripes or solids. 

Happy Wed...

"Wrap Me Up"...

I've a love for toile fabrics.  There's always a scenery telling you a story.  Here is a simple way to add color and style this to a flower base.  Take a fabric sample and center vase, tie up with a coordinating ribbon and enjoy!

Happy Tuesday.

"Little Yellow Front Door"...

Want to know another color palette to use on your front door...{yellow}.  It's refreshing, clean and elegant.  Yellow is timeless and flows with all four seasons.  Wether Traditional, Gothic or Modern, they look beautiful.

Hope you have a sunny Monday!

"Pillow Talk"...daisy pillow

Loving this Thomas Paul Daisy pillow...so perfect to decorate around it.  A pillow like this one, inspires me to decorate a room around it.  It's shape and design is pushed to the side, leaving a blank canvas to appreciate the beauty of the cotton textile.  The finger welt is very elegant and simple at the same time.  Perfect pillow for the so waited spring time.

TGIF to all...

"Yellow Fever"...

As you can see in this image, designing a room based on one color is not too bad.  Mixing all types of yellow tones, from wall paint to bedding's makes the room calm and elegant.  Adding items such as natural organic baskets, in this case, a basket weave side table gives much character to the space. 

Enjoy!

"Gina's Room"...continuation

Gina's Room is almost completed, just waiting for a few accessories on back order.  As I posted last week on the blog, Gina is a teenager who wanted a sophisticated room based on a color palette.  The chosen colors were grey, turquoise and silver.  Wall tones turn out very soft and calming, is like being by the ocean. 

Because of a space issue, we thought about converting a corner, left of the closet into a vanity-storage area.  The idea was embraced and duplicating the furniture, a cabinet was created so Gina can sit down to put her make up.  The little footstool will act as a chair.  Its deep turquoise or aqua color stands out a lot, especially because of all the silver nail heads. 

The platform bed is from by American Drew, a La-Z-Boy company.  Bed has drawers and shelves at the bottom for additional storage.  A tall chest was placed on biggest wall.  A flat screen TV, still needs to be mounted on the wall above chest.  The curtains are a classic heavy cotton with a grey embroidery design, hanging from silver hardware.  Only had room for one mirror night stand, may be I will order another one for the other side.  Can't wait for the rest of the items to arrive...

So Shabby!!!

"Color and Texture"...

I often have to be careful when it comes to selecting fabrics for curtains.  Sometimes textiles do not adapt to the design in mind, or maybe material will stretch or repeat will be hard to match; so it's a science.
Image, shows a beautiful combination of color and textile.  These stationary pinch pleated panels, even though are of a solid fabric, but because they have a horizontal, look stunning and sophisticated.  The fringe will add a final touch!

Happy Tuesday!
