Birds cheapin' and Plants are poppin"....let's decorate

As I sit here on my back patio(advantages of being an entrepreneur) the birds are "cheeping" away and my rather large perennial garden is starting to pop. The daisy buds are the most prominent in my garden as I write, I love their "fresh whiteness" when they bloom.....they don't last long but  it is wonderful to look at. After hearing what the weather was going to be like today in Connecticut I hunted down my summer clothes and was so relieved that they still fit!!....I'm so ready for warm weather as I am sure all of you are. Along with the warm weather clothes so you look good, let's look around your home and see what can be better. Open a couple of windows and let the spring air in.....and take a good look at one or two rooms around the house .... could they use some sprucing up.

Walls

Maybe new paint??...easiest and least expensive transformation. +Farrow & Ball  www.Farrow-Ball.com   Stone Blue would be fabulous in a dining or living room. India Yellow with a pinch of  brown  in it would be stunning in a kitchen with off white cabinets. Skylight is a peaceful blue/green for that perfect serene master bedroom color.

Window Treatments

I love the  fabric below from +Brunschwig & Fils   http://www.Brunschwig.com    it has a summer like feel..made as window treatments then,  coupled with the  pop of redish orange in the sisal rug and, +Lori Weitzner   www.weitznerlimited.com   wallpaper on an accent wall....wow.... you would have a fabulous and comfortable family room.

Floors                                                                                  

I just received some yummy "soft sisal" rug samples from a company down south,  +Blackstone Carpets & Rugs  www.blackstonecarpets.com  The various styles are unique, soft (hence the name) and, can be
easily finished off with +Fiber Sealing   www.Fiberseal.com   against stains.

 

These soft sisals can be bound as shown and  they come rubber backed so need for extra padding although it is available.  This company also makes an outdoor soft sisal. The colors and weaving are some of the best I have ever seen.
Enjoy looking at these high quality products and contact Terri Reilly Design to see samples and receive professional guidance  for your next project in your home or office.
