*Great Interiors With Great Ideas

I just love the drapery detail!!!

When I do draperies I usually (99% of the time)

use a solid body for the drapery

and a patterned Peek A Boo fabric for a 9" turn back

(on the leading edge)

that shows when you turn the fabric back slightly 

when you tie them back with ropes and tassels or a medallion.

*as shown below*

I do the reverse-
the patterned fabric on the inside (turn-back).
And the body of my fabric usually matches the paint color.

And for the final finish touch....

on the leading edge I use a 1/4 " rope welt or even thinner if I can find it.

It looks SOOOOO detailed and FINISHED!

:)

I do

LOVE doing my window-treatments!!

                                 

How about the wood application behind this bed!

Brilliant.

Again.....

Contemporary mixed with curly iron and other traditional elements.

I think the mix of the two.

WORKS.

Each style helps the other to breath.

Wall Mounted Desk

Wall Mounted Desk

The concept is great.

Imagine the possibilities.

I saw this and thought.....

how incredibly handy.

A small wall mounted desk that folds up into almost nothing.

The applications are really endless.

What do you think?

springtime, spring colors, spring fabrics & red ticking

I am looking out my window....a fresh foot of snow is staring back at me!!

And every day I keep saying

SPRING IS HERE!!!!

In keeping with spring design trends....

here is a bit of inspiration.

The colors and the fabrics at the bottom remind me of summer time.

And a casual one at that! 

In addition,

the fabs remind me of my friend Pam at shop Red Ticking.

Temporary Masqerade

I have really been through it.

This has been a living breathing Masquerade.

Masqerade;

 to disguise oneself; also : to go about disguised

I am a bit afraid to be me.

This is MAINE.

REAL MAINE.

I love my new town but this business of finding my fit.

Just the right fit for myself has been daunting.

It was just last week that I finally found 

'it' in me to start to print up new biz cards,

design some ads, get my tax #,

and finally look forward to what ever this new 

phase of my life will be.

I know that whatever will be

will not look or feel the same.

That's what I wanted....

but doing this great big 'THING' is scary.

It is certain that I have a great foundation of 

friends and family.

It is different for sure,

but 

and I hated where I was.

Right?

....sorry that I have been M.I.A.

-this has proved to be hard stuff-

I have barely been present for myself.
