It's Been Too Long!!

I've been so busy lately with projects, spring cleaning, and gardening that I haven't had a second to spare!  Thought I would share my design for a very traditional client's living room. Can you guess that her favorite color is blue?  A small space, it already has a gorgeous antique secretary on one wall, and an upright piano on another.  The couch will face the two slipper chairs in blue linen with a pair of blue ottomans at a right angle to the couch and chairs.  All the furniture will be sitting on that beautiful blue dhurrie rug.  Silk taffeta drapes will dress the floor to ceiling windows and pillow fabrics and trim are on the right.  I'm still looking for a gorgeous cocktail table that won't blow the rapidly dwindling budget.  If any of you have some ideas for the perfect table,  e-mail me!  Thanks!!

I hope you enjoyed looking at these spaces.  Would you go with a full black kitchen, or just selected cabinets?  I really like the dark color on the lower cabinets and have thought about doing my cabinets in a deep charcoal for a while.  Hmmmm...


Here's your daily dose of Nola - who is very busy practicing her Elvis smile!






Have a terrific day!

Millie
