Simple Image=Happiness

This week I was going to do a series of posts featuring one room at a time that grab me. Instead I am starting this week with an image from Romo that makes me smile...
Speaking of...the fabric is the background of this picture is my newest love...

Hanging With Ralph

Wouldn't it be nice to live in Mr. Lauren's world?Surrounded by beautiful fabrics...
I love the bottom of this bench-
Sipping champagne on my striped sofa...
Don't get me started on my love for pinstripe upholstery....and then there is the pillow on top of that...sigh.
See this could be me right?
Love everything about this chair but did you see the books in the background?

Feeling Funky Clarke?

I was introduced to Clarke & Clarke in Atlanta last week and I love all the funky elements...
Flocked wallpaper? I must admit I love it, especially in a fun design....
Their fabric reminds me of Romo, a long time love of mine.
Love those roman shades...
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

What Started With April Showers...

This post started as...April Showers Bring May Flowers....and when I think of flowers I think of Osborne and Little. However, when I went to O&L to get images I was got off track several times...
Have a wonderful weekend!!!!!

Bouquet Of....Samples?

I have mentioned before I love the quote about the bouquet of pencils in You've Got Mail....Well if I could I would send you a bouquet of fabric samples....I must admit it is one of my favorite parts of being a Decorator, packages filled with pretty samples showing up at my door.

Unbelievable: Jackie VonTobel

I can't contain my excitement: Jackie VonTobel (of Jackie VonTobel Home ) just launched her new fabric line & online store today!!!!! You HAVE to check it out -oh my gosh her things are SO BEAUTIFUL!! http://www.jackievontobel.com/



Her designs are too pretty for words... But I'll try of course! ;)




Everything is so fresh & energetic& happy!!!:
Lots of them are whimsical takes on the classics: enlarged florals & toile-like patterns (The design below is just perfection... It reminds me of a modern version of one of my Grandma's plates... Oh how I need it!)...



...chinoiserie in unexpected colors...



beautiful peacocks, huge paisleys with an enormous amount of white space ...



...Cheerful graphic patterns that are still curvy enough to be super-pretty. (Sometimes graphic patterns can be a bit too much for me & feel a bit trendy but not these!)



I could seriously find a spot for every one of her fabrics & pillows in my house. (I would love a closet full of her pillows to switch in & out seasonally. Just one of these would make a room!) You can choose to go with organic cotton or eco-friendly linen, depending upon the look & feel you're after.


She uses so many different color palettes & here are images of just a few:

.... had to share the greens & grays of course!!! But this blue too (below) - oh my goodness!!!

Anyway, you've got to check it out!! I am in love and cannot wait to use some of these for projects!!!

xoxo,
