Coffee Table Talk 2

Coffee table accessories follow my general rule (not broken this time) of making the best of the rule of threes. I usually, but not always, like three different objects on a surface.

I try to vary the heights and bring color at the same time. In this case, the soft fern juxtaposes the hard slick surface of the glass bowl and knot sculpture, which relates to the glass top surface of the table. All of these elements compliment the wall behind the sofa, which was crying for one large piece of colorful art. Just a few new pieces made for a transitional and alive living room.

Vintage with Vision

Vintage was the theme of this splendid weekend wedding. We kept the look light with delicate pink peonies, white hydrangea, white anemones, roses of varying sizes, and the bride's favorite fragrant lilacs. We achieved the vintage vibe with the fillers; Queen Anne's lace, rice flowers and a touch of hypericum berries.

Coffee Table Talk

Simply stated, sometimes the perfect solution to a large coffee table is one large vase with monochromatic bright color (as in the red poppies) to make the room come alive.

It shouldn't have to compete for attention with other objects. The poppies make a year round statement, but can be easily lifted out of the vase to make room for fall and holiday stems later.

Powder Room Restyled

Bathrooms are generally utilitarian spaces, first and foremost they must function well. I think they must feel clean, organized, and (ideally) beautiful! 

We achieved the crowning touch in this powder room with a natural looking silk orchid nestled in a glass wall vase wrapped in iron. The three dimensional design brings a soft element to hard surfaces and compliments the flat art on the opposing wall.

Perfect Passageways Part 2

Niches are fun little alcoves to which we can bring the perfect design. Moving this homeowner's art to another location made room for our parallel design of over-scaled dandelions and kangaroo paws. Sometimes three dimensional designs work best in small pass through areas such as this. The requirement was to "make it fun and happy"; mission accomplished!

Perfect Passageways

The walls we pass by in our hallways deserve as much attention as other spaces we decorate. Our client's floating keepsake sconce was brought down to eye level and accented with grasses. The antique filled the visual space while making it feel comfortable. This hall now echos the inviting attitude in the house to create a sense of completeness.

Custom Glamour

Serenity reigns in the master suite with soothing orchids. We went on site and removed tired silk flowers to make way for a new spa inspired arrangement, rejuvenating the container.
