Added Interest


The use of these copper pots have such a drastic impact on this room. Without them it could be drab and cold but with them, the room is lively and interesting. And how fun would it be to always on the look out for more copper pots to add to a collection? I love it!

The room is from the portfolio of
Eddie Ross who I am currently enthralled with. More on that later.

Functional Art

Rebel and I found 6 great dining chairs begging for new life and so I've been indulging in a fabric hunt. I have a weakness for fabrics, any kind.
It is not uncommon for me to fall in love with a piece and buy a yard or two not knowing what I might use it for. Some pieces have been used for throw pillows, some have turned out to be perfect for my vision of that years Thanksgiving tablecloth or Easter napkins,
others have become quilted squares on my childrens' beds.
It has happened that I've come across a great armchair in need of a new look and have only had to go so far as my fabric drawer to find a fitting piece.
To me, fabric is functional art.
These upholstery swatches are some of the ones that have recently caught my eye.
