"Pillow Talk", Linen...

What's nice about Linen is the elegance and simplicity of the weaving. Attached photo shows a great example of different ideas for new pillows. Simply by adding small grommets and tied them with a ribbon makes such a statement. Also, notice how a 20 x 20 pillow was constructed with upholstery strapping as an accent ribbon.

Have a wonderful relaxing Friday!

"French Coasters"

What a cute way of protecting our coffee tables! Using this adorable French Coasters will give something to talk about. Not only they serve a good purpose but they are so shabby...

Happy Thursday!

"No Office Space"...

You are lucky if you have an office space in your house! If you don't, make it a mission to find a spot in a room and convert it into an visual organizational station. This image is a good example, a dark wood console table was chosen and simple wicker letter organizers were purchase. Make sure you buy nice linen style stationary and notes. Keep your household bills in order, may be hidden in a cute painted box! You get the idea...Oh and lighting is also very important. Check out the formal lampshade.

Good Wednesday!

"Nature, Inspiration, Design"...

De

sign is an expression of all about what's around us...

One can take a natural inspiration and end up with this stunning Bombay Chest. I love this furniture simply because it is a timeless piece. I may use it in a modern setting or even in a traditional design.

Once, I remember a colleague saying "a house should always have a painted piece"...

"A Round Crib"...

A round crib, yes why not!!!

Cribs have come a long way from the old rustic styles. Now days, we may find a large variation of round cribs which offer the same safety standards as regular cribs. Round cribs come in beautiful wood, metal and mixed organic materials. Round cribs offer a complete 360 degree view, any baby I'm sure would love!

Enjoy your bundle of joy!

Please always inquire and check for safety points such as finishes applied to the bed (toxins), or may be what organic materials are being used.

"Pillow Talk" fall colors...

Every Season I love to make small changes around my house. I simply change things such as pillows and throws or banquets in each room. Sometimes, just simply exchanging items between room makes the trick. A close friend of mine said, but maria where do you store so many pillows? My answer is simple, I normally have only the covers fabricated. I use same size pillows and the excess is folded in the linen closet.


Pillow Talk will be posted every Friday with the purpose of appreciating beautiful fabrics and trims.

TRENDY COLORS FOR FALL

Orange, Reds, Dijon, Coffee Brown, Rust. See more next week.

Have a Fantastic Friday!

"Space Savings Solutions", a shelf

I absolutely love this idea...
This space savings solution can be adapted even if your small bathroom is completed. It is a simple additional shelf which will give extra room for toiletry items. What makes it more elegant and important are the brackets made out of the same Italian Marble.

Enjoy the day!
