To The Orient And Back Again

I do love an oriental print. They have never really gone out of style, but recently I’ve noticed a lot of re-colored and re-interpreted oriental prints that are truly stunning.

They are classic yet fun and can add lots of personality to any space.  Here are just a few I’ve seen recently!

Multi color prints add drama to accent chairs.

Solid backgrounds with a white oriental pattern add interest without overpowering a room. 

From wallpaper to pillows, asian-inspired patterns add personality to any room!

“Flipping A House” Takes on New Meaning

The expression “flipping a house” takes on new meaning in this historic home renovation.  When our clients purchased this traditional house, they realized very quickly that it was not functional for their lifestyle.  They love to cook and entertain, but there was no access to the side yard and every room was dark and closed off from each other.
