Precious Stones in Design

If you haven’t the budget for true precious mineral slabs in your next design, perhaps this might be just the ticket; Alex Turco‘s visions are alive in beautiful decorative art panels that have limitless possibilities as they are malleable and can be placed in any installation.

The “Blue Agate” panel from his Minerals Collection is on a plexiglass surface, making it a great choice for this application as a shower wall. I love how the mineral form almost mimics an ocean wave. Read more

Designing with Bold Murals

In 2015 Brian Gluckstein spearheaded the design for the Princess Margaret Showhome, and my favorite part was the large mural in the dining room that took up nearly the whole wall. It was a custom print made from a classic oil painting. Read more

Fantastic Wallpaper Maps

situ_bedroom

What is it about maps that intrigue us? Maps make us ponder where we have been, where we are going, and just the wonderful notion that our world is so very much bigger than we are. I love the wallpaper maps by wallpapered.com, especially the vintage maps like this Antique Map of Paris from 1800. They are available in many sizes and customizable as well. They would be lovely on a feature wall, imagine them in the location of a headboard, or ordered in a custom size to fit a panel framed wall.

Mirror Impact

Large White Mirror vanity gorgeous

Now this makes a statement! The large white painted round mirror anchors this vanity like one gorgeous bullseye. I love the emphasis of the mirror through the heavy frame, but since it is the same white color of the walls it is not too heavy at all. This could be used in a foyer, bathroom vanity, or desk too.

Painted Mural

Painted Wall Mural

Do you like the look and creative edge that can only come from a hand-painted mural but you don’t consider yourself an artist? No worries! Find an image you love and bring it into a copy store where they can make it into a transparency for you, get your hands on an overhead projector and away you go!

Bird Print Wallcovering

Wallcovering Damask Bird Print by Schumacher Chenonceau

Hidden not so secretly in this pretty print are butterflies, birds, shrubberies and flowers! I love prints like these because even though at first glance they look like a symmetrical damask, they have meaning and associations other than the scrolls and fluid lines by a typical damask artist’s pen. Chenonceau in Charcoal by Schumacher. See it in the soft Aquamarine for a cottage near you!
