Quirky Cork

Cork provides both thermal and sound insulation, as well as being waterproof, mould and mildew resistant, hypoallergenic and hard-wearing. “There isn’t a room in the house where you can’t use cork,” From the bathroom to the basement and on walls as well as floors.

Period Style, Serene Setting

Serenity

A touch of color, a touch of texture, here are some images of serenity.

I will be posting some excellent photos of a project my husband and I worked on...

Typography on textiles....Have you ever sat on "Type"?

Dining Room Chair Fabric Choice-Casual and Classic

I do prefer to use a 'Choco' brown version to enhance 'transition' in the space.

Firewood Art

As seen many times in the approach towards modern/traditional family-tv rooms, the firewood can be a central focal point to creating an artistic touch of vision + function. A great execution. courtesy of Kimberly Hall Creative in NYC.

New Kids!

Twin boys sharing a bedroom. This is the board we're working on. Light boxes, hive shelves, wall fishbowls are all some elements for a fun space that can grow with young kids.

So simple So youthful

With a little help of white paint, white lacquer desktop, a few cool chairs and some cutting edge geometric fabric, an office is transformed.

Soothing office

Have a look at a project in progress I am working on!

Find the good, criticize the not so good : ) Its the way of design

Although a little bland.....some nice elements in this room to consider. The boxed white wall for instance is quiet, but textured and interesting. It gives a bland wall some dimension that you cannot achieve in the same way with color, or even wainscoting. Simplicity is not easy : )

The sofa to me is a little green....or perhaps its the window treatments that are too boring of a color, but the 'architecture' is what I like best, and some other touches.....the single chunky book on the lacquered coffee table, the different lamps/lighting used on either side, and that element hanging above the center of room......

And I must add that 'sunburst mirrors' (sorry to say to picky designers) do not go out of style....some may disagree, but I have a hard time finding their wear in a space.

Fun ideas for built-ins
