Summer is a wonderful time to add a signature tropical piece! A painting, a pillow, or a big palm bowl! Think Hollywood 1940's! We adore vintage rattan and bent wood, mixed with pops of tropical flair!! Go for it!
Do not be afraid!
Add a mantle in a rich color! I love the mix of color in this pic! I wish I could see the rest of the room!! By adding a bit of color to a feature such as a mantle, you can create what I call the "pow" to a room!
Add the natural!
We love adding contemporary to a traditional space by adding natural elements! These panels in wood are just the ticket!
Use unexpected!!!
We love our new "smashed" glass bowls and trays! Completely made out of broken car wind Shields ..Add the unexpected for a surprise!
Buy 1 good piece for each room!
Anchor a space by purchasing 1 good piece, the best you can do! By adding in quality new or antique, you are investing in not having to reinvest often for furniture that will not last the test of time.. I suggest a good dining table or China cabinet...A good cabinet for the living areas, and a good dresser. Add trend with easy lamps, accessories, and wall color!
What is it???
A classic Tulipere! Used historically for Tulips but here we use for Hydrangeas! A stem in each opening and voila!!! A fabulous centerpiece!
When in doubt?! Blue and white!
If having trouble creating a "look", start with beautiful blue and white! It works with every palette, from crisp white to dramatic black! Start a collection today!

What could be more fabulous than old ballast brick steps! Don't attempt to make things like this too perfect. Many times you lose the patina and age! Keep the classic!
Society influence of interior decoration!
Every time that something major happens in society, we see a trickle down in interior decoration! This year the trend is GOLD! Brass and shine! Polish it up and let it sparkle your space!

Find the inspiration!
I started my dining room project with the rug! This antique rug gave the inspiration to decorate with Silver tones, a touch of black, a fresh blue with embroidery and last of all, lots of glass! Sparkle it up!
the inspiration!
a Wonderful black Chinese Chippendale chair
trim is a touch lighter!
drapes in lightest blue with pewter embroidery
Details!
Never miss the chance to add a great detail! Embroidery in unexpected places can be great! I love this lampshade in linen with pine branches stitched on!
On table lamps and floor lamps!
Always add a cool lamp!
Lighting is so "key" to a space! Add in a cool lamp or two to add interest to a space! I love this contemporary lamp, with a cultured flair!
Mix those fabric styles!
The following chairs are in the same room! Mix up the patterns and style! I used a more contemporary plaid with a traditional oversized damask! Using a mix lightens up the space and updates the look!
Use the Christmas fresh!!!
Since we live in such a lush area for vegetation, give it a trim for the season!!! Banking fresh into artificial strands of garland not only makes it prettier, but the smell of cedar and pine....divine!!!
