We spent the day placing furniture and hanging pictures and making it feel like a home for her. There was one area that just needed some attention....the stairwell. We found a set of matching prints and installed them going up the wall. What a difference it made.....and it got me to thinking....How often do we ignore this area of the home?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Some homes have stairwells and landings that are spacious and almost room like, while others are just wall space to get from one floor to the other. Any space can be enhanced with good design, so I've compiled a group of images that should inspire you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In a new build or a major remodel, the landing area is a great place to add functionality and extra living space. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What a great place to tuck in a little office spot, </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Designing kitchens is my favorite thing to do, and I get giddy when a new project rolls in. One of the things that I have learned is that the enthusiasm with which we begin a project tends to wane as the realities of construction begin to set in. So we spend a good amount of time with our clients in the beginning managing their expectations and helping them prepare for the craziness that is to come!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In our preconstruction meeting I give the homeowners a packet that I title "How to Survive a Remodel".... there's a link on my sidebar. Feel free to grab a copy for yourself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Trends in kitchen design are always evolving, but here are a few things I'm noticing in new kitchens today. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">White kitchens are still the preferred cabinet color, and it's no wonder because they create a clean and fresh look that feels so good! But a trend that I'm liking a lot is two-toned cabinets. Usually the darker color is on the base cabinets and a lighter color on the uppers. The dark bases ground a space nicely and are easier to keep clean too.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Stats tell us that an average kitchen remodel will give homeowners a return on investment of 60-75%, so updating your kitchen is almost always a great idea.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A kitchen facelift can be a good DIY project, but if you're contemplating a more extensive remodel, having a professional help you with the design and layout can save time and money in the long run. Never underestimate the value of experience !</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When I started this blog, I wanted to be the best blogger ever! But I soon realized that it was difficult to give the best service to my design clients and be "the best blogger ever"! I kept pushing for over a year, blogging almost every day, but then life and work changes forced me to make some difficult choices......work, organize my life, or blog. Obviously, the blog came in dead last on my priority list.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But....I've spent the last year moving my business and reorganizing almost every facet of my life, and I've renewed my commitment to Divine Distractions!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'll not be posting every day like before.....That's insane unless it's your primary work....but I do hope to get a couple of posts out weekly for your design inspiration. I've also begun a newsletter that will go out monthly. (Be sure to sign up in the sidebar to receive it) You can always find postings of great photos everyday on my Facebook page as well. (Come follow me!). You'll be seeing a lot of me out in cyberspace, so let's keep in touch. I hope you'll enjoy my posts and leave comments so we can get a great design dialogue going. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I appreciate you!!</span><br />

<div style="line-height: 19px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It seems that the pendulum in design does not swing slightly, but more with a complete and earth shattering paradigm shift. Here in the Dallas area, we have been entrenched in the Old World design style for many years now, and like all things, it's getting old. My clients are longing for a lighter and brighter feel to their homes, but in this economy, few people can start from scratch with all new furniture and accessories. So how do you change the style of your spaces without "throwing the baby out with the bathwater"?</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> If your color scheme is filled with dark colors, begin to eliminate one of the strongest colors from your scheme replacing it with the next shade lighter in the same family. For example, it you’ve used a lot of reds, start pulling in some lighter shades of terra cotta or peachy tones. They will still work with the reds, but they are lighter and less intense. Painting your walls a softer, lighter color is the easiest and least expensive update you can do.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As you begin to replace furniture pieces around the house, replace the heaviest pieces first. If replacing furniture is not in your budget just yet, choose to paint some pieces to lighten up their look. It’s fun to have the juxtaposition of a large scale, heavy piece painted in a glossy white or a bright color, and it brings a different kind of drama to the space.</span></div>

Most of the time just the process of editing your space will lighten it up. Begin to incorporate some different colors into the mix so that the space will take on a different feel. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'm one of those Thanksgiving holdouts who deliberately waits until December to "do" Christmas. I want to savor the loveliness of fall...my favorite time of year...so I allow November to breathe it's last breath before I swing into the Christmas flurry and hurry.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">But fall is officially over with the arrival of December, so I've gotten the boxes out of the attic, and I'm going to begin to glam things up a bit. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This year, I've "de-redded" my house, so my traditional Christmas decorations have been handed down to my kids, and I'm looking for new inspiration in shades of copper, orange and turquoise. I'm going for "festive", not traditional this year. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I've been collecting images to inspire my new color palette, so I thought I'd share some with you. Pinterest has also been great for getting the creative juices flowing. You can follow my boards <a href="http://pinterest.com/sallyjdesigns/" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />

It's not really a good financial decision to take them on, but somehow, you just know you should take it on.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Such is the project we're working on. Mrs. E is recently widowed and has moved to town to be close to her children. She left everything behind in No. California (that's another story!), and bought a small house close to her daughter. She had nothing.....NOTHING! And her budget was what I usually require for a single room, not a whole house!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">But I'd already fallen in love with Ellen, and there was no turning back, so Lynsey and I have been through every thrift store and consignment shop in the metroplex looking for pieces to use within her budget.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I've always said that it's pretty easy to design and decorate with a great big budget. You just pull beautiful things off the showroom floor, call the workroom and make magic. But when you are challenged with a very small budget, that's when the creativity comes out. We have had a blast on this project, but it's been a ton of work to pull things together. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'm going to show you Mrs. E's bedroom. There's still a couple of things we need to complete, but she has been able to move in and start making a home.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Here's what we started with.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrlQ6X_GzNXbaA4RBKeX8bP8joiq3K0DDRR_a9m427-fnQMtU4XsqM8LQY-SPanj8cONNsSfGPbqAkGjcIskOhKGJwPLwP-1KDuEA7KgK_PA0Vg56lCPdxLp1WVJqw7VCPrN-fBjU2WQn4/s1600/design+work+016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrlQ6X_GzNXbaA4RBKeX8bP8joiq3K0DDRR_a9m427-fnQMtU4XsqM8LQY-SPanj8cONNsSfGPbqAkGjcIskOhKGJwPLwP-1KDuEA7KgK_PA0Vg56lCPdxLp1WVJqw7VCPrN-fBjU2WQn4/s640/design+work+016.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Yep....carpet and walls! There was no budget to paint and she liked the blue, so that was our starting point. She did tell us that purple was her favorite color and that she'd love to see some in the room. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Our plan for the house was to create a cottage/modern country feel throughout because that style would lend itself to repurposing furniture pieces.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Our favorite antique/junk-y store, <span id="goog_1934330986"></span><a href="http://alstonsantiques.homestead.com/">Alston's Antiques</a><span id="goog_1934330987"></span>, had the French dresser and the Empire table as well as the headboard. Richard, the owner, had already painted the dresser and the table was in good enough shape, so all we had to do was paint the headboard.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We found the dust ruffle and matching pillow on sale at Home Goods which combined the blue from the room and purple which is Ellen's favorite color. Just saying....there's not much in the market place that marries blue and purple unless you are under 12. The Matelesse coverlet and sheets from Tuesday Morning and the deep plum neckroll was scored on sale at Pier One. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">These lamps were also a Home Goods find....but the color was all wrong, so with the magic of spray paint, we had two deep plum lamps for the side tables. We covered the lampshades and a bench we found in the garage (and painted black) with fabric we found in one of our local discount fabric houses for $3 a yard!!</span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We still lack something over the bed....any ideas out there? Here's the almost completed bedroom. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The reveal was a special moment for us all. We didn't let Ellen see any of the components until they were in place, and there were tears all around when she saw it all together. It was just like on TV!!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We made a major score of furniture at the local Salvation Army which is undergoing transformation as we speak, so we'll be adding in a black dresser on the other side of the room. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I must admit, that I've missed this DIY aspect of interior design. I've always loved being knee-deep in the transformation process, and buying off the showroom floor all the time had made me feel more like a furniture salesman than a designer. I think my artist-self has missed turning a "sow's ear into a silk purse"! I've had paint on my hands and the sewing machine and glue gun have had a long overdue workout, and I'm happy again. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Perhaps taking on this project was more about me than my client. I don't know, but we're both going to be better for it in the end. </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08419279731426997121noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2032989567574858015.post-35085957810588136602011-09-29T09:03:00.000-05:002011-09-29T09:03:37.693-05:00My door<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I thought you might like to see my door decorated for fall. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I used things that I had.....don't call me a hoarder or anything....(all of my family members can stop laughing now!)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><u>Donna Decorates Dallas</u> aired with another episode Saturday night on HGTV. Have you picked your chin up off the floor yet! I'm still working on it!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This episode centered on the Campbell family (he's a pro golfer, and I think she is a "recording artist"). They wanted to redo their living room "Donna-style"! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">What's that you ask? Here's a pic of a living room vignette in her store, That's Haute! decorated by Donna (found on her store's FB page)</span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">They make embroidered and hooked pillows and rugs, and they make them beautifully!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">They are also reasonably priced, and I think they will be great for several of my projects.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">With designers like Trina Turk, Kaffe Fassett and D.L. Rhein, the looks are current and classic...and gorgeous!!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Summer's official "It's OVER" day. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I don't think anyone in Texas will be sad to see this horrendously hot, dry summer come to an end. Every conversation includes the weather and "how much longer can this go on"!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The forecast for Sunday and next week has temps below 100 and the possibility of rain, so I'm officially saying "GOODBY" (and good riddance) to the summer of 2011 with one last summery post. From now on, it's going to be orange and pumpkins, and you'll see one happy blogger on these pages!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">To me, one of the most summery color schemes has yellow in it. Adding in shades of pink and coral just make me happy! But it's a real challenge to combine these colors without it looking childish and juvenile.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So I thought I'd showcase some yellow and pink combinations that also have some sophistication and panache' to show that it can be done.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So, I have officially turned the page on this summer, pastel, light and bright thing. You've had your last hurrah until the daffodils begin to bloom. I'm looking forward to my favorite time of year and shades of pumpkin, aubergine, golds and greens. </span><br />

</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">You go JUNKING! </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Now, I love to shop the high end interiors showrooms, purchasing stylish and beautiful pieces for clients, but secretly, I'd almost rather dig around in a jam-packed thrift store, searching for treasure.</span></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So that's how I spent part of last week, and I've found several pieces for my clients home. They're still in various stages of redo, so I'll have to show them to you later. But one of the upsides to my job is that sometimes I find things that I love!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I've been looking for a small, narrow piece for behind my love seat. It needed to be a demure little piece that would blend into all the other things in my open concept space. I found a cutie!!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Size is perfect. It needs a little TLC....maybe a complete makeover?....I'm thinking vertical black and white stripes...or maybe I'll just leave it alone....I've got time to decide. It's exactly what I didn't know that I wanted! And guess what? It was $20!!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I did goooood!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So, now I need something to go on it. A lamp is always good, right? So I go on the hunt for a cool vintage lamp (that's what you call a lamp that is as old as me....vintage....nice!).</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I was scanning the lamp section and saw this shape....the perfect shape...and I grabbed it!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I looked all over for the price....like it mattered! I would have paid up to $20 for it, big spender that I am, so I grabbed it. The price was written on the brass bulb socket....$3.98!! Score!! It looks like a pretty creamy white, but trust me, it was a nasty painted on finish that was chipping off in places. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Spray paint in hand, it is transformed. I had an old lampshade in the closet, so I searched through my fabric stash and recovered the shade. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I've been a baaaad blogger, but I'm determined to stay in the air conditioning and get back to blogging after an insufferable month of temps over 100degrees. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">OK. Excuses are behind me!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And that brings me to the question: Did you see </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><strike>were appauled by </strike> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">"<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Donna Decorates Dallas"</span> on HGTV?</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">OMG ! I was so excited to see a design show originate in my beloved metropolis, but two seconds in, I knew we were in deep____!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'd love to show you some of the images from the show, but strangely enough, there are NONE! Reading over the HGTV discussion posts, I'm not surprised. Comments centered around "Are you kidding", "What were you thinking. HGTV?". Perhaps they're "rethinking" this one!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> Picture1990's - over-the-top, Tuscan/Old World/neo-Baroque thematic bedroom design. It's the stuff I've been trying to rid my clients of ever since! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So, I thought it was my duty to showcase a few bedrooms by Dallas designers who really DO decorate Dallas.</span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Flor is one of the most innovative flooring options that's ever been created for people who live in the real world. They have designed great looking carpet tiles that stick to one another in a semi-permanent way, but allows you to remove and replace tiles that get soiled or stained. Their FLORdots are self-adhesive and stick the tiles to one another, making it easy to mix and match and replace. Genius!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">They are even "green" minded in that they will take your old tiles and recycle them! Good for the planet too!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">They make great rugs or wall - to- wall applications.....suit yourself.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a> is a site where you can catalog pictures of everything you like, what you want for Christmas, clothes you wish you could wear and places you dream of visiting. Anything that is a picture on the internet can be "pinned" and placed on a "pinboard" on your own personal page. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I thought it would be fun to show you a few of the things I've pinned this week. I'd love for you to follow me and repin to your heart's desire.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have lots of pinboards for all things about interior design, as you would expect.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This little French chair was originally covered in a beautiful Chinese silk that my client had brought back from her travels. But we all know how delicate silk can be, and this had completely disintegrated.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Poor little chair!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The frame was beautifully distressed, so we left it as is, but this purple room really deserved a fabric combination that had some purple punch.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Isn't she just the sweetest thing? We did a purple velvet on the frame, and then added in the plush silk pillow seat and the embellished lumbar pillow. We chose to use bronze nailheads instead of self-cord, and I think it was the perfect thing! (silks from Duralee - Silk Road collection)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This little settee had great bones and had served it's purpose, but my client wanted it to fit in with her Santa Fe style study. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We chose a fabulous wool from Kravet's Museum of New Mexico line and paired it with a faux leather for the frame and cording. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
