Creating a Rug
I’ve been wanting to create a rug but this has proven much more difficult than I ever anticipated. Therefore, I turned to Barbara Barren of Classic Rug. I met with Barbara a few weeks ago in Manhattan and she was kind enough to spend a good deal of time and shared an amazing wealth of… Continue reading Creating a Rug
Fabric of the Week: Crush…Turtle Love!
“Crush” is the turtle in the Finding Nemo movie. A funny and genuine character. But I’m wondering about my sweet turtle. Does he have hope? The repeat comes out nicely but I’m simply not sure about it as a fabric. Specifically, I was thinking about curtains or a shower curtain but what else? What do… Continue reading Fabric of the Week: Crush…Turtle Love!
Fabric of the Week: Diane
I’m actually looking forward to the dandelions coming out – it will mean that we have green grass and spring is truly here! This is a simple outline of a dandelion. Available in a multitude of colors and can be as large as 18″ or as small as you like. Great for pillows, window treatments… Continue reading Fabric of the Week: Diane
Classic SOHO
I love the artful reality of these building in Soho, New York! The varying heights, colors, rich dimension and architectural detail become a piece of artwork in itself. The water towers? Well, they just add that rounded texture of interest! We met Michelle Varian at the Architectural Digest Show and wanted to check out her… Continue reading Classic SOHO

Progress is being made on the Alton Bay Lake House in New Hampshire! Unfortunately, the contractors lost a day of work having received a huge spring snow storm last week. But onward goes the work and the gable wall is framed and up. There is a large arched window that will be installed above these… Continue reading Framing is Under Way
Fabric of the Week: Jonah
Spring is here and the fish are waking up! This fabric was designed to respond to the coastal area that we live in. I love the graphic circle that the organic fish create. It repeats beautifully especially on silk cotton. I am having curtains made out of this fabric so that you will be able… Continue reading Fabric of the Week: Jonah
Aki Waves
With winter behind us (or so the calendar says) it’s time for a little color in our lives. This paper and fabric design was inspired from the Pappelina Rug, Aki and a wave pattern. Combined with glass and ceramic samples it is bright and cheerful! Come tomorrow night, March 28th from 6-8pm for the Material… Continue reading Aki Waves
Mayer Fabric
I just installed a 24′ long wrap around window seat upholstered in Mayer Fabric. We selected a specific seating fabric that has texture, is dark enough – but not too dark – to hide little messy finger marks and comfortable to sit on with shorts. When selecting a fabric, it’s important to think of the… Continue reading Mayer Fabric
