Moving along to other orders of business........
MY FALL FABULOUS CONTEST. The Contest was a huge hit. I got in over 65 magnificent pictures and the biggest challenge of all will be selecting a winner (glad I don't have to be part of the voting process). I will be posting all the 'contenders next week" and will hold voting over a 1-2 day period. The picture with the most votes wins the prize! More details to come. There are some truly breathtaking images...I must declare my readers are soooo talented! Thanks to all for being a part of it and participating.
MY HOUSE. Finally getting down to business with my bedroom. Ordered the gorgeous silk I have had my eye on for months for the big windows in my closet/sitting area. I may end up using this as the fabric for windows in my bedroom too. Found a perfect velvet for my bedroom (having an ottoman made) and 2 chairs recovered. Then found the perfect blue after a search for a few months of the perfect blue stried velvet for my living room. Having pillows done and thinking of a tufted ottoman, love the look. So small steps of progress are indeed being made! I hope to have my first full sample of the chinoiserie for the dining room in the next 10 days and am super excited about that!! Here are a few visuals....
Pardon the wrinkles....you can tell I have been carrying these around for a long long time!
Love this and want to redo my two French chairs in this.....
The silk that came in.....woo hoo!
And the gorgeous living room velvet for pillows and possibly an ottoman (and trims)....
The perfect velvet found at last.......
Close up of the rug.....
Teddy! So many of you are so kind to ask about Mr. Teddy. He is doing well...he is slowing down as he is 9 years old and is a mellow guy to begin with, I always say in my next life I would love to come back as him...he leads a mighty relaxing lifestyle. A little photo sesh of the man himself....
GORGEOUS WALLPAPER. If only I had enough rooms to use every wallpaper I fall in love with. Some I cannot get out of mind and this is one such paper. I am determined to use it somewhere! This one from Pierre Frey I have had my eye on and am thinking of a guest room done in this...what do you think? So pretty, don't you think!
And I would pair it with luxurious ivory bedding and pillows and shams done in this delicate fabric...
I have to say I am loving it.......
Kind of reminds me of this feeling of a bedroom I have long admired-
GORGEOUS TOLE. I as you know, am so excited about the custom tole line I am carrying...it is beyond beautiful. I got in my own pair of custom lamps (going into my bedroom eventually) and have placed other custom orders for customers. Take a look at whats been churned out lately......click here to see more of this gorgeous line in my online shop.
My gorgeous lamps....love love love them!
This beautiful pair of lamps......going into a CT. master bedroom, stunning.
And this pair is going into a family room/kitchen area of someone I have been doing e-design with, they were custom colored to match her fabrics

Good morning Tina!
ReplyDeleteWe are having the same crazy weather, being in the high 80s all week. Then one of my classrooms where I teach is infernally hot and I just never know what to wear!
OK, your fabrics are stunning. I imagine it's hard to decide which one to choose, but they are all luscious and rich in texture and color, and they will look fantastic. TEDDY!!!!!!!!!! GIVE HIM A HUG, PLEASE! What a good boy, what a dear, fluffy boy!
Well, off to work I go to enter grades; teaching at the secondary level requires more frequently grading. I'm exhausted! Big love! Anita
Looking forward to your fall colours, we don't have too much autumn colour in Sydney as it isn't cold enough. We are well into spring now and it has been unseasonably hot. Love your fabrics especially that delicious silk.
ReplyDeleteThat is your view driving to football? Lucky gal! I adore the silk fabric for the french chairs, and that rug... The handwarmers are killing me, as well as the porcelain additions to your shop. Keep the goodness coming!

Love the look of those wraps - wraps are the perfect weight for Atlanta winters, where the nights can be cold but the days are usually in the 50s.
ReplyDeleteI always love your food recommendations - the cheesy artichoke dip looks like a winner!
Catching up on the blogs after a ridiculously busy two weeks, including my birthday last week, which was on Wednesday - it seems like there were celebrations on the weekend before and all week. I am very low key about my birthday, so this is not the norm! I am enjoying a quieter week and the weather could not be better, so all is well!

You are one busy lady!! I love all the bedroom fabrics, especially the chinoiserie one! I used the same velvet from Robert Allen in Forest for Library ottoman, I love that texture!! Your house will be a show stopper!
ReplyDeleteBest,
Karolyn
Tina..love everything you picked for your home....and those blue and white lamps are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love this post. I may be unusual but your fabric and wallpaper close-ups are some of my favorite posts. I get the opportunity to oooh and ahh over your lovely choices. I can't wait to see your bedroom come together. The chinois wallpaper is gorgeous. The detail is to die for. I can definitely see that in your house! Thank you for your photos of Teddy. And I can't wait to see your new store items. I'm still making some decisions on your Ralph tray and crystal obelisks. I hope pull the plug on those soon.
ReplyDeleteLots of visual deliciousness today!
ReplyDeleteWonderful ocean sunset shots from your phone! Very lovely!
Glad that your bedroom is coming together. that Clarence House trim is divine! I'd love to use it somewhere... Hmmm, I wonder if it would work on the curtains in my library...
The striped silk is to-die-for. Beautiful!
Thanks for sharing the photos of darling Teddy.
As always, it's a visual treat to visit your blog:)
Dear Tina, I am just glad to know that Teddy is okay. Email me and I will update you with some news...
ReplyDeleteI think it would be so fun to make a scrapbook of pieces of our favorite wallcoverings and fabrics!! The beauty her makes me feel so inspired!

ReplyDeleteThose wraps will certainly come in handy if ever the weather turns to fall temperatures... We can see ourselves wrapped up in one on the banks of a river cheering on the boys! You always find the yummiest looking recipes, too. Hope you're enjoying this summery day!

Love the fabrics and trims...and your beautiful rug! And what a breathtaking sunset.
ReplyDeleteNot many things get me more excited than looking at beautiful fabrics and trims and dreaming up fresh decors! Loooove all the ones you are working with. Dreamy!!!
ReplyDeleteA little ga-ga for your new wraps and gloves. Gorgeous!!!!
And, love that Teddy. What a precious fella. My Molly is asleep at my feet.
Hope you enjoyed this beautiful day!
xoxo Elizabeth
Love your fabric selections. Wish I could tag along when you shop! Am redoing upholstery as well and got the Greek Key tape from M & J Trimming - their prices are so much better.
ReplyDeleteSo much to take in, Tina! How do you do it? You always give so much of yourself in each post! It's always great to get updates on your beautiful home, your beautiful sunsets and your beautiful Teddy! Your on line store is always fabulous…and these recipes! OH MY!! I could eat every bite of all of them right now! Happy Wednesday my friend! So glad you are enjoying this time in life right now! Happy October as well!
ReplyDeleteNice post! Thanks for the pick me up. Teddy is a baby doll. Take heart, my big dogs lived to 15! Keep 'em indoors and take them for walks. Feed them good food. Give them half an aspirin twice a day when they start to get stiff. Those are my tried and true tips. Snacks look delicious. What fun seeing a Kravet fabric on your post that I happened to put on a client's sofa! It's the little mint leopard print upholstery fabric. Have a nice evening Tina. Hope all is well with you. Shiree'
ReplyDeleteWow your fabrics are just magnificent, but I would expect nothing less! Love everything here, it was wonderful eye candy.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeletePoker Tables
This is my first time i visit here. I found so many entertaining stuff in your blog, especially its discussion, I guess I am not the only one having all the enjoyment here!
Tina the fabrics are amazing, stop looking because they cannot get any prettier. I hope you will share the bedroom project when done!
ReplyDeleteTeddy is so adorable. Reminds me so much of my dear Max who was with us for 12 wonderful years. The food has me hungry and finally I cannot tell you how much I am enjoying my brown tote. I get so many compliments and it holds all my junk :-) Thanks for sharing.
cheesy artichoke dip. with little slices of baguette. that is all i can think of now. thanks, tina.
