LINING UP

Isn't it funny how stripes work? Always bold, always dramatic- the perfect punctuation mark in a room. A stripe in whatever application, whether it's painted , in wallpaper, on a fabric or in a rug is a classic accoutrement for any space. Chic, sassy and forthright - I think every interior needs a little or sometimes a lot. What do you think?

WICKER AND RATTAN WORKS

My focus has been on a tropical locale for months now and when furnishing a home that will never see a chilly day one always thinks of wicker, rattan and seagrass. The casual texture and informal breeziness always adds heightened dimension even when furnishing a formal space. Forever fresh and inviting - the organic shape inherent in these materials brings a level of welcome relaxation to any interior!

STEEL YOURSELF

What is it that is so incredibly beautiful about a steel window or door? Maybe it's the deceptive airiness of such heavy material, its thin grey lines allowing in all that light! I love their slim proportions and elegant lines as well as their ability to maximize an amazing view.

Let there be light...
