Alidad in the House

Life is sooo upside down right now that I feel like I can't get anything done.

I did get my custom curtains finished, though, that I started here.

Plain linen ground from Chelsea with the leading edges embroidered

with the Goli border from Alidad for Chelsea Textiles.

Love them!!!

Sweet Virginia

Shopping has begun for my new project in Virginia. 

Tradition with a twist. Just like my client.

1920s Turkish Oushak from Keivan Woven Arts via 1stdibs.

A pair of French wingbacks from Jon Vaccari via 1stdibs.

...to be reupholstered in this cotton/silk City Stripe by Lee Jofa.

A 19th Century French Silver Gilt Greek Key mirror from Fireside Antiques via 1stdibs.

A pair of mirored chests from C. Damien Fox.

A pair of vintage mercury glass lamps from Susane R. via 1stdibs.

And a cerused oak bar cart from Arteriors.

I think it's a hell of a start.

TIPSY GYPSY

I went to an evening estate sale a few nights ago at 7:30 pm...

after a smidgen of French rosé. That said I came home with:

A forbidden stitch embroidered Chinese silk panel,

a fur coat...

and a stuffed bird.



You can't take me anywhere.
