Practicing Patience

We’ve all been waiting for years to see the completion of this unique dining room-designer, architect, builder-and especially our client!  The custom beams, venetian plaster walls, gray limestone floors, and an open wine alcove all lend the feel of a Tuscan villa.  A retractable wall of french doors provide a wonderful way for the elements to interact, creating a beautiful open air dining venue.

Fifty Shades. The Sequel.

Having just returned from this years trip, I am happy to report that Nantucket is just as blue and just as beautiful.

A few years ago, I chronicled my honeymoon in Paris by exploring the many shades of green I happened to see at every turn. It’s not what I started out to do, it just seemed that every thing I was drawn to-the shutters, subway tile, window mullions-were all beautiful shades of green.  They were all just as current as the day they were done and can still be used in many ways today. It was a joy to see and to share what I found.

The Versatile Ottoman

Ottomans have become a popular and unique decorating asset.  Because of their versatility, range of shapes, sizes, and finishes, they work in a multitude of situations.  They can be foot stools, fireplace seats, coffee tables, extra “chairs” and bedroom accents.

Sometimes it is the little things that make a room complete.
