Going from Drab to Fab


Look at this juicy color palette I'm working with for a dining room project.  It's so fresh and colorful! We're doing a jute rug, the ikat on the chair seats, the large suzani print on the curtain panels, and some luscious wall color.  The homeowner loves color and wants a younger, fresher, vibe in her often used dining room.  She's lived overseas and has collected colorful pottery from everywhere.  I thought her dining room should reflect her love for the color and pattern that attracts her eye. Here's some of her collection.





This was the project where a dinner party started it all!

The "Before"



Remember?




During a dinner at this house one night not too long ago.......one particular friend, well I guess it was several friends, decided the border had been there long enough. 



One piece was saved as a memory!


 
  Everything is on order and will be ready for Christmas!

Window Treatments Part III - PATTERN

Oh, how fun is this!  Patterns speak volumes when used on windows.

Here they establish a loud, fun vibe with a hint of ethnic flavor!

Patterns used on Roman shades look like art on the wall.

The pattern here gives relief and is such a nice foil to the solid color wrapping the room.

Solid color on the drapery above would have been staid and boring.  The pattern gives movement and interest to the room.

Look how just using that wide stripe adds so much vigor to that space.

How invigorating is this pattern used on the windows?  What a great backdrop for solid color furnishings and carpet.  I feel happy just looking at it. 

If you want a little punch and life in your interiors, pattern at the windows is a great way to go!
