A Recent Project: Weems Home

Heirloom family pieces beautifully complement the new sofa, lamps and fabrics all from the Brocante Home Collection.

Love the repetition of circles in the rug, tea table, marble inlay in the coffee table and orbs on mantel!

All the best,
Ann

P.S. Please join us for the Paris-style Flea Market at Brocante Home this Friday and Saturday, May 25-26 from 10-4.

Spring Market Trends

Chesterfield sofas everywhere in leather, linen or velvet.

The drum shade continues to rule.

Modern paired with rustic.

Narrow flanges now showing on slipcovers.

Tufting, tufting, tufting!

All the best,

Sun Room – Fun Room! Part 2

The sunroom in my 1930s Dutch Colonial home now sports youthful verve with these fuchsia and spice tribal-inspired pillows!

Old and new, high and low, rustic and refined, here’s my recipe for the mix: Wavy-back sofa, pillows, net shade floor lamps and natural jute curtain panels from the Brocante Home Collection. Vintage French-style gilt mirror and 1960s Baker cocktail table. Woven bamboo stools from Pier 1 Imports. On the walls, Benjamin Moore’s Bone White.

All the best,
Ann
