This Might Be Boring...

But It Can & Will Make A Big Difference.
ONYX
Onyx can be lit from behind......
Do you have a powder room you would like to be truly special ?

Take a chest like this,

or this,
or this, 
or even this... then you top it with onyx, drop in a sink (or two, if the size is right for a master bath) with beautiful hardware, and you are set ! Now , hang a fabulous mirror over the sink, hang a set of sconces on either side of the mirror and ' voila !'

But, make every piece you choose special. 

Onyx can be costly, but is small quantities, it is worth the money for the amazing impact that it will give you.

Onyx. It is like a jewel.

.
And pictures DO NOT show you how truly beautiful it is
If you under mount a sink , try a hammered brass, nickle, or oiled bronze sink.

Do You Like Onyx ?

I feel that the powder room

is the one room in the house that you can, 

and should... go all the way out for !

Be a bit wild, and extravagant. 

You won't regret it, 

and your guest will always comment on it.

It is a no-brainer. 

After all, a person is only in a powder room 

for a few minutes....

so do something unexpected.

Exposed...

Walls.

I lived in Montreal for 9 months, it was so cold in February that I ended up down here in Florida.

And Florida is hotter than ' you know what !'

Anyway, I adored old Montreal, and many of the buildings had exposed brick , stone, or granite on the interior walls.

I miss that. I was crazy about it !!!

The Many Styles Of ' A Design Genius '

, Anthony Ingrao 

It is my opinion that he can do anything related to interior design. His design mind has very few limits. And what he does.............he does better than most !



Black Lacquered walls...Divine.
Check out the layered fabrics on the window treatments.
So.........Classic.

Perfection.
When I  look at his ' Rustic ' interiors..I feel as though I am peaking into Henry Tudor's country get away.
You must enlarge this image and look at the dragon chandelier ( and very other detail ).


There is Greek key detail on the rustic cocktail.

I love it ...he sneaks in a bit of the ' classics '

The wild flowers are perfectly light for this room.
I have a complete 'design crush' on this man !

His shop is on my FAVE street in the city. EAST 64th.

Stop in at his shop, then walk west on E. 64th , cross 5 th. Ave, keep walking right into the ZOO.

Say ' hello' to the Seals for me.

Exposure And Travel Are Vital...

For Re-Fueling Ones Creativity.

Especially if you create for a living.

"Maureen Footer’s travel memories , including colors, culture and architecture influence her designs."

I love love love  this color scheme.  Do You Like It ?


I especially like the collection of identical mirrors grouped together in this way.

Doing something like this can solve a problem... 

I have done this before, because I could get my hands on the right piece of art, in exactly the right size. 

You can always use the mirrors grouped in a different configuration elsewhere in the house, once you have found the perfect item for over the mantle. 

And, if you do not find it , well....

this would remain beautiful & timeless always.
