Great Interiors With Great Ideas

*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.

A Museum-Quality Art Collection Fuels Eric Cohler

This is such a gracious blend of the old and the very new.

Notice throughout this article 

all window treatments are clean , simple and sleek.

Nothing detracts from the fine art in this home.

All the tops of the curtains have the pinch pleats just out of sight.

An elegant approach to draperies.

To fabulously whimsical.

LOVE!

And the bedroom is sophisticated and understated.

Pure Style.

But that is just what Eric Cohler does.

Right?

Andi's Favorite Girl

...

My daughter loves Natalie Portman...

so....

here is a peek into her apartment.

What I really want 

is your opinion on this living room!!!

The kitchen is nice.....

I haven't researched this at all...

but,

do you think she did her own interior design  ?

Or

had help from a professional ?

{ like maybe her mom's best friend's friend who is a decorator ?}

ummmmmm?????

okay, I will be leaving now.

Are you coming too?

Seriously....

what do you think?

You probably love it,

 and it's just me.

But.... I have to know.....!!!!

Should I take a few cues from this for my new line up in my showroom?

@$%$$#@@YYY??!!

Am I that out of touch?

Great Beds - Built-In

I have always had a thing for built-in beds.

I still want my own.

This one would work just fine for me.

Is this not fabulous???

This is way too sweet for me 

but it solves some problems.

The dresser is under the bed, and if you are tight on space 

or would like to leave room for the kiddos to move around a bit.....

this is a great option

When I finally have a second home in a fabulous place....

I am going to make one of the guest rooms 

with stacked built in beds on both sides.

I knew a woman in NYC who was a single mom.

She had a studio with an alcove {apartment}, 

and she did this in the alcove space for her son.

She slept in the living room.

This woman was very chic....

and managed to pull off her difficult situation beautifully.

This idea is fabulous.

You can make a room where there wasn't one.

If you had a loft....how great could this be???

Do you like BUILT-IN BEDS?

I Like Kendall ...How About You?

I love Venetians and mirrored dressers.

Again,

an antiqued mirrored chest.

This is so elegant.

Look!

Mother of pearl walls. 

They are beautiful.

The mirror is a lovely shape.

And the gold detailing 

on the dark bathroom cabinet is just my style.

Have a great weekend.

From Somewhere In Manhattan .....

Toby watches the NYC marathon.

This is the neighborhood Toby lives in.

These are some of the runners that

Toby watches.

How I wish I were there.

I love the marathon.

I am amazed that anyone can run more than 5 city blocks.

It would all but kill me.

I might be able to walk the marathon,

but somehow I don't think anyone will still be hanging around 

by the time I would finish.

Besides....

I would stop for a nice lunch 

and I would be hard pressed not to go shopping 

while walking passed all the superb shops.

No.....

for sure I would finish the race 

holding many shopping bags.

If I finished at all.

Would you?

Could you do the NYC Marathon?
