One, Two, Three…”Will It Move With Me?”

The upholstered furniture in their starter home found new life after being recovered.

One, Two, Three…three houses later and the furniture still works. It began in a client’s first home. The living room needed updating with a completely new color scheme. Slipcovering the sofa and recovering the club chairs in soft blues and greens gave the room a fresh new look. As soon as the furniture was installed, our client moved into a new home on the opposite side of town. The new living room was larger so additional furniture was needed. We added two Hickory Chair spool chairs, larger end tables and new lamps. By selecting furniture that will “move with you”, my clients were able to use all their furniture in three separate homes.

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!

Real Life Happens

In light of all the family gatherings over the holidays, I thought this blog from a couple of years ago was a good reminder about the benefits of using outdoor fabrics indoors.  Enjoy!

On a recent project, my clients decided to enclose a screened porch. They wanted a “child friendly” space for their grandchildren.  We decided to use all outdoor fabrics.  These fabrics will stay brighter longer in this sunny room, and they are much easier to clean.
