A touch of Asian………….

Always a  pleasure to visit the home of a friend/client; especially one with great pieces and a great eye for design!!!

A bit of the exotic; a nod to another time, another place; always appropriate in any decor!

in my dreams…………

As a designer, rarely have I seen a painting that has the potential to drive an entire project.

Although this photo shows only a portion of the piece, my heart flutters…..

In my dreams I would design a contemporary cottage with plastered white walls, dark, metal-trimmed glass doors and windows, hung only with sunshine and starlight;

open to oaks and lemon trees, gravel paths, mustard fields and mountain views.

Upholstered pieces slip-covered in white Belgian linen,

paired with minimal accent colors drawn from the rich hues in the painting,

and scrubbed pine, white ironstone, well-used vintage linens for everyday use.
