Hi readers. I’d like to ask for your help. I am searching for a 30″ diameter (or smaller) round table with a good price point. Any suggestions? Throw those comments out there, pretty please. Thanks!

all things quatrefoil

Julie — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 15:24:01 +0000

Just to get it out there, I want to express my deep love for “all things quatrefoil“. There I said it! It would be an understatement to say “I merely like this four-lobed shape”. I do not know what it is about it…maybe it is the symmetry of the shape that I like. I am drawn to balance. Though I might add I’m really liking the asymmetrical trends in fashion that are surfacing for spring! So, maybe it’s the simplicity of the complex decorative framework. I know those two words contradict eachother, but think about it! It really is geometry at its finest! Now for the pretty stuff:

quatrefoil blac :: robert allen [+]

quatrefoil alexandra side chair :: suzanne kasler’s collection for hickory chair

quatrefoil border area rug :: frontgate [+]

quatrefoil book table :: hickory chair [+]

and the "fun stuff" begins

Now that I have a place to live, there is a place to design. WooHoo!

It all started with this fabric, which I really love. I’ve had the sample for a while, but never really had anything to do with it. Currently my room in Bham consists of a mattress, box-spring, bed frame, chest, two windows, four walls, two doors, and my clothes. That is it! For some people okay, right? For a design minded person…not okay! So, back to the fabric. I took the sample by a store where my mom’s friend works to see her thoughts. She saw that sample, and responded…”that is ‘my’ fabric, but in another color wave. I have 18 yards of it at my house, and I am not using it for anything.” SCORE!!

That quickly turned into this showing up on my doorstep…

Yeap…an entire bolt of it. And this check was a little left over fabric from something in my sisters room. Works well, don’t ya think?

The fabric is Kravet :: Ginny 1635

Called the lady that sews for us…and hopefully we will have four panels ready for hanging really soon. Which calls for hardware…I really love this antique brass rod + jeweler glass finials from Anthropologie. I think the rod size I need might be in backorder. Anybody seen anything similar? Maybe I should just be patient, but I get so anxious about a space coming together.

And about 95% sold on this Chelsea Textiles Canned Headboard in full/queen size for my headboard-less mattress:

And probably simple ivory bed linens. I will probably coordinate the blue fabric in with the bedding a little bit. A few custom pillows?

I think this will look cute with the planters I bought a while back. Slowly but surely it will come together. Pictures when that time comes!

I am truely, madly, deeply IN LOVE…

with BOOKS!! The only problem is I am running out of places to put them. This has led me to a “one click leads to another GOOGLE search” for bookshelves. Here are a few top finds. {note: the ease of the drag&drop feature on my Mac=my desktop is covered with about 100 other images}
