I don't know about you.....

But, I am absolutely IN LOVE with 

the black door and trim in this room!!!

It is dramatic and elegant.

I want to do it.

And do it soon.

Your thoughts?

The India Connection

I had all but given up hope
on the design job in India.
But....I just heard from the India Connection
and things are moving along.
They have finally received
the financing that they needed to start the project.

And as far as my posting goes...
I will be back on track this week.
My regular schedule will resume
and I will be able to get back to posting.

I am recovering from retail burn-out.

big hugs,
renee             XXXX's

The Old 'Switch A Rooney'

Vertigo.

It is sometimes brought on by stress.

I am feeling overwhelmed 

with this 'August Sale' schedule.

My days off have changed 

and I don't know what day it is half of the time.

I am too sensitive of a creature 

for the old 'switch-a-rooney'

This is an upbeat song....

I am trying to perk myself up a bit.

Anyway, it seems that I am having a difficult time of it 

organizing my tasks at work,

at home, and anything else 

I need to get done.

Including my thoughts.

I decided to take a few days off from my blog

until my regular schedule kicks in again.

My brain isn't working anyway.....

I am not myself.

I have too much on my plate at the moment.

So, I have slapped some images together from

 the Hotel Vertigo in San Francisco. 

...wish I could get away for a week,

 or a year!!!

"Carved out of a 1920s hotel, this hotel underwent a cinematic makeover inspired by the Hitchcock classic. If the orange-and-white color scheme doesn’t make you dizzy, the spiraled mirrors and corkscrew staircase might. The 102 rooms are spacious, a loop of “Vertigo” (which was partly filmed here when it was the Empire) plays in the lobby and, during the check-in, you’ll receive a list of the best places in the city to “get vertigo,” including Twin Peaks and the top of Coit Tower.( New York Times)"


I will See you in a week or two. 


This will give me time 


to just comment on your blogs 


for a while.


xx's hugs

A Truly Industrial Styled Desk

This is supposed to be a French Post Office desk.

The price tag is about $2999.00

I like it.

But not for the price tag.

Have a great day!

While Cruzin' the home section of the Philadelphia Inquirer......

I found this article and thought I might share it with you.

I am off to work, on my day off......

(can't you hear the violins?) 

I have to finish up some work on a design proposal.

But do read on......

EDISON LIGHT BULBS an additional $15.00

By Kim Cook

Associated Press

English poet Percy Shelley wrote, "There is a harmony in autumn, a luster to its sky." This fall, that's especially true in home decor. Rich, interesting hues, textiles, and materials work in concert to welcome the season when we all move back indoors.
As Gary Friedman, CEO of Restoration Hardware, says, "We're coming out of a very modern, minimalist moment in design into a period where people are responding to a mix of historic periods and classical references."
Designers and retailers are offering furnishings inspired by late 19th- and early 20th-century Europe and America. You'll find warm colors such as plum, mustard, persimmon, teal, and charcoal. The newest wood finishes are often hand-rubbed to a lustrous glow. There are details such as tufts, nail heads, and evidence of artisanal handiwork.
Linens are woven in patterns that reflect tapestry and embroidery.
And in tabletop, we're seeing lots of painted ceramics, vintage industrial objets d'art, and basketry.
New wall art includes reproduction antique merchant signage, folk art, and bracketed shelves for collectibles. This trend is all about feathering the autumnal nest with more traditional things, which evoke the past and spark conversation.
Restoration Hardware's collection draws from elegant salons, old factories, and the rustic countryside. From Belgian brick palettes to architectural elements to distillery floor boards, the pieces have an authentic look.
Along with wood corbels and reproduction archival city maps, there's a copy of a 19th-century Italian gas streetlight, and a glass orb pendant inspired by one found in a Victorian hotel.
Look, too, for tables and mirrors crafted of salvaged wood from 100-year-old British mills and distilleries; pieces such as the muscular Balustrade coffee table and the ornate Entablature mirror make strong statements. Bow-and-arrow shelf brackets resemble ironwork in the grand old European train stations.
A French Empire bed is a regal piece; with toned-down accoutrements in the rest of the room - perhaps some simple linen drapery, softly hued bedding, and a few well-loved mementos - this would be a most inviting sanctuary.
Rowe Furniture's new Robin Bruce sofa group features several tufted, voluptuous pieces that suggest a luxe Paris apartment, circa 1920s.
Crate & Barrel's Scarlet chaise is a show-stopping swoop of luxe velvet comfort, and the Dylan wing chair in buttery, pewter-toned leather just needs a book and a blanket to be the perfect curl-up spot.
If the notion of a farmhouse in Tuscany or the Loire appeals to your inner decorator, you'll find lots to work with this season. At Pottery Barn, painted linen pillowcases look like plump Van Goghs. Wrought iron candelabra, lamps, and horse-head hooks have a rustic charm, as does a rough-hewn dining table and bench. Hammered copper vessels have great texture. And a collection of heirloom quilts from the crafters at Gee's Bend, Ala., among other artisans, brings America into this relaxed, rural style mix. Crewelwork lampshades and pillows have a nice folk-art look; find more at Homegoods, too.
Boston-based Nikki Dalrymple's Acquire design studio and store has a great industrial lamp made of shesham, glass, and nickel that holds a vintage-style Edison bulb. It hits the antiquarian-chic trend square-on, and would complement any of fall's new decor.
The old days never looked so fresh and new.
