one of my absolute favorite fabrics lines!

as we all know, there are so many elements that go into a room. fabrics are the one single most important element for myself (arguably) when designing a room. i have one line that is a top favorite.....at that is QUADRILLE!!


when i visit the new york d & d building in the spring and fall every year, the QUADRILLE showroom is always one of the first stops. it is the best looking showroom-sunny and bright and HAPPY because every fabric in there is a happy fabric!
my last visit in the showrom i was especially excited because i overheard the conversation of some big wig designer talking about her next spread in a major magazine.....thinking it was meg braff???-pretty sure....love HER!! and i love QUADRILLE!!
 take a look at these spaces and you will agree-these fabrics MAKE the rooms!

and this time, my own table scape fun!

i really should be working on an estimate......but yet again i am distracted! this time by my desire to rearrange!! i decided to take my dining area buffet and see what it looked like with different lamps / accessories.....lets see which scenerio gives me the best table scape!!



the winner!
 im kind of a minimalist......i see so much of my kids clutter all over the house so i choose to have less on it on my table scapes!
 more table scapes in my house...................


got this table at a yard sale in athens, ga when i was in college-still love but could use a face lift
 

my side of the bed....yes, there's "us" again.......please ignore.


hub's side.....could our reading material be any different? hehe


TABLE SCAPES

SO WHATS ON YOUR TABLE TOP?
 LOOKING OVER AT MY SOFA TABLE, I HAVE A PAIR OF LAMPS WITH A LARGE WOODEN BOWL FILLED WITH "VIRGINIA LIVING"....AND  MY "US" MAGAZINES (GUILTY PLEASURE-I LOVE MY US!).
 I FEEL LIKE THE TABLE TOP IS THE JEWELRY FOR THE OUTFIT....IT CAN HONESTLY MAKE OR BREAK A PIECE OF FURNITURE! WHETHER ITS STACKS OF BOOKS, A PLANT, PICTURE FRAMES, LIGHTING, A BOWL, STACKED BOXES, OR MAYBE A PIECE OF CORAL.....TABLE SCAPES ARE SUPER IMPOTANT AND GIVE ANY TABLETOP STYLE AND INTEREST!
 HERE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE TABLE SCAPES!
