Room by Room: Library
Although walls of books are often the best
decorating of all, the bookshelves in this home include a mix of sculptural
objects. The slight surfeit of shelf space allows each component to harmonize
with the others.
Display only things that you love. Pieces that
have meaning and history are always better than fakes and clutter.
Book cases can be a display space to flaunt your
collections and transform a room from everyday to extraordinary. A bookshelf needs
to be carefully designed. Adding air space is my first requirement, two-thirds
for books, and leave the rest for introduction of two dimensional objects, i.e.
picture frames, soft grasses, and sculptures. I like to aim to create some sort
of rhythm or checkerboard as a feast for the eye.
I hope after
studying these hints you can create your own environment, one that is both
comfortable and inspiring; a shelter for your soul.

Room by Room: Living Room
Often times the fireplace and television take
center stage in a living room and this one is no exception, however, I have
softened the hard edges with softer vases of zebra grass and yarrow for color.
Two lanterns flank symmetrical on either side of the shelf, but I like to break up the static by using different vases on the middle shelf to achieve balance without monotony. Elements of iron are depicted in the accessories to achieve harmony in the space.

Room by Room: Landing
Create a cozy reading nook on the landing. This black
console stores a multitude of books or other projects. A lamp makes the space
feel comfortable. A walk in the rain piece of art lets your mind wander and
relax.

Room by Room: Entry Way
Create a welcome for every visitor with a
demilune table, well placed lamp, and your favorite collections to complete
your first impression and make it a lasting one among friends.

Room by Room: Master Bedroom
An instant way to dress up any bedroom is to invest in
a couple of great lamps and a pair of hand colored art. Instant elegance and
sophistication. This lamp is also lit in the glass base for ambiance or on top
for reading in bed.
A well placed permanent botanical near the bedside table makes a master bedroom a sanctuary for your soul.
