Forgive me. First, I post nothing for three months and then throw another board at you with the same old pink Aubusson, I have used two times before. This was a vintage rug from One Kings Lane, which is sadly no longer available. Link will take you to others still available. Obviously, I really like […]
A New Year’s Eve Library
December 2017 came and went, with little time for design. But wanting to close the year with a post, I created this library for New Year’s Eve — a place of quietude and comfort on this last night the year — a cosseted space in which to reflect on the year that was, and imagine […]
Crisp and Clean and Totally Out of Season
Welcome! I have another board today that contrasts with those I’ve done so far. Any style’s a good style When I see a thing I like, I want to try it. Not to copy, though copying is fine, even one of my most admired designers, Miles Redd, says so *, but to understand the design, the designer’s […]

We’ve all seen contemporary interiors designed in neutrals, some of them very beautifully, and I was intrigued by the idea of designing one myself. I usually prefer some pattern or color in a room but the challenge of designing […]
Light and Airy Aubusson
Hi and Welcome Back! My last post featured this vintage Aubusson rug and I promised to come back with a new design, giving the rug a more starring role. That first design was light, airy, and a little folksy. I wanted to push the airy factor by lightening things up even more and the result was something quite […]
Trying Hard
Hello and welcome back! This is my Second Blog Post Ever and its subject is about trying hard. I meant it to be about how I put mood boards together but, as they say, indescribably difficult things happen. The matter is, I often try hard to accomplish things. Any thing.
