Beaux-Artes hand-painted shell ceiling design.

Love this look of lighting in the cove.

Many homes have a tray which can be accented with beautiful molding and the right color finish.

Simple and elegant.

Gold Leaf is a winner.

There you go, lights, molding, medallion and a good use of color.

Beaux-Artes custom painted ceiling.

A beautiful new fixture from Corbett ‘Chimera’.  It has nickel and crystal tassels.  The frame is a silver leaf finish.

My past favorite the  ’Dolcetti’.

Another  gorgeous and exotic fixture from Corbett, ‘Nirvana’.  Fabulous with  Moorish. It is brass.

Some great mural and  panel art from the incredibly talented Paul Montgomery Studio.

New Moon Rugs a classic look that is not an oriental.

Another beauty from New Moon, Corinth in Cerulean Blue.

Antigua Del Mar Tile – Beautiful mosaic reproduction tiles handmade in Spain.

All these products share a color palette that really works for me.  The inspiration for this Zimmer & Rohde fabric came on a design trip to India and the photography of Norman Parkinson called “Pink is the Navy Blue of India”.  You can’t see the texture of this fabric in the picture, but it is felt. Felt found its origin in one of Parkinson’s infamous photos where he juxtaposes architecture with fashion. The contemporary design was developed with hand-guided machine, Aari embroidery on a felted ground. It simulated the crewel stitch technique. Suitable for drapery and bedding.  I think a two-story window wall in a great room would look fabulous with full length panels.

Restoration Hardware now RH has introduced Objects of Curiosity and architectural plaster fragments.

Fabulous isn’t it!!

I love the use of damask on the headboard surrounded by beautiful gold ornamentation.  If it is upholstered it does not look padded.  You could purchase damask yardage and stretch it to your pre-cut template, or do the entire wall in a stenciled or fabric damask and then attach the composition ornament directly to the wall or just add the ornament to the template you have prepared.    I used our hand painted damask canvas we offer for our wall panels.  It is $185 for a custom 2-color application 32″ x 60″.  The color is Gold Stone.  A gold background with biege pattern which coordinates with our Gold Stone Finish.  Painting the damask on canvas you can get canvas large enough to cover the headboard without any seams.  Excuse my seams from my stock size of that canvas panel.

Decorators Supply List of ornament

#9864      54″ x 11″  $237.02

I rearranged the ornament to create the shape of our inspiration piece.

#9583  5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″  right and left pair $69.97

#5390  8-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ right and left pair $50.53

This is one of my choices for the floral swag beneath the centerpiece.

#1751F  9-3/4″ x 6-3/4″   $29.14

This design can be refined.  If you purchased two additional C curves the shape could resemble the inspiration more closely and there are other options for the center feature.  It’s a good start though on this great look.

This is one of my favorites.  I would change the chandelier and add the headboard I will be showing in in my next blog,  Inspiration Headboard and How To Get The Look.  I can’t wait to do the research for the ornament.  It probably will not adapt to an upholstered headboard but it is fabulous.  So until next week.
