cathy — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 17:55:40 +0000

So it’s just about that time of year to gather around the table with family and friends!!! Here are some Christmas tablescape ideas to inspire you when decorating for that special occasion.

Love these red lanterns Jen used over at At Home In The Northwest. A simple tablescape but boy, what a statement those splashes of red make!

Here is a beautiful tablescape created by Dining Delight with her daughter. Love the white and silver with the natural touches of the pinecones and greenery.

This beautiful tablescape was shared by Jordan and Janette at their blog, The 2 Seasons. It is the Ralph Lauren Christmas tablescape from the Ralph Lauren flagship store in New York city. Stop by their blog HERE to see more of the detail photos from this tablescape. The floral centerpiece is amazing as well as the dishes used in this setting!

And if you’re dreaming of a coastal Christmas, check out this amazing tablescape by Coral And Coast. So simple, clean and beautiful. Love the driftwood and starfish!

And last but certainly not least is this beautiful tablescape created by Between Naps On The Porch. The Reindeer candleholders are simply to die for!!! Love them! AND…if you’d still like other Christmas tablescape inspiration, stop on by this post at Between Naps On The Porch where other bloggers linked their tablescape ideas! Endless possibilities!!!

Merry Christmas!

Fabulous Fall Fabrics

cathy — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 16:26:49 +0000

Ha…say that five times fast!

I had a meeting yesterday with a local Shumacher rep. here at our local Designer’s Market to talk fabric design and view their collection on site. It was pure HEAVEN!

(source)

What I love about the Shumacher collection is the vast variety of patterns and styles. There’s the straight up traditional fabrics, which really appeal to many in historical parts of Richmond, and there’s the edgy and fun modern fabrics that can really make a statement in a space.

(source)

These colorful fabrics are from the fall line by Martyn Lawrence Bullard. Such an awesome palette of color, texture and pattern. Love his designs! And there are so many other wonderful designers creating great fabrics and wallpapers that are carried by Shumacher. Shumacher does sell to the trade only so seek out an interior designer or representative to have a peek at the awesomeness! You won’t be disappointed!
