I framed a piece of fabric I got at Brunschwig & Fils sale using an Ikea frame for an impact effect; used some cigar boxes we kept from our wedding, a cane lamp, my own hats, silver little trays for contrasting against the woods and pink orchids to bring out the pink on the fabric and on the Monte Carlo casino cards (these ones were used in Monte Carlo by the way.) It's fun to see their black marks, it's a great topic of conversation and makes everything more real and interesting.</div><span style="font-family: webdings; font-size: 180%; font-style: italic;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">A Global Chic Collector's Table</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgobp17y57WlmAIIWyz-7bm4bi9f4XZwq0b2PWi1k4Iu9vwcRQwe-oZEGg9T4UgNnXeyL5Xb91tpHCzsPRA1WdNyjowwL0NjRcdCrH2nnWey1bGr98sMMtXfCuPZLuBG1IgpeHRPhmh66M/s1600/DSC00088.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469990293522326354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgobp17y57WlmAIIWyz-7bm4bi9f4XZwq0b2PWi1k4Iu9vwcRQwe-oZEGg9T4UgNnXeyL5Xb91tpHCzsPRA1WdNyjowwL0NjRcdCrH2nnWey1bGr98sMMtXfCuPZLuBG1IgpeHRPhmh66M/s400/DSC00088.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; height: 515px; width: 387px;" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV7sHmvnDhawnqkkl26Kc7U50CtkC18a18TRUgF7cXLcRmfP5EWS3Es47IhWD03sbQ8YwaSiE8CqccEZj6yXzsqs98LUEw4g5zWo7cNQNqFdFjHVF8MDbKd_aoFnF24xhT2AIEQZ3lDcc/s1600/tablevignette.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469984074624029042" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV7sHmvnDhawnqkkl26Kc7U50CtkC18a18TRUgF7cXLcRmfP5EWS3Es47IhWD03sbQ8YwaSiE8CqccEZj6yXzsqs98LUEw4g5zWo7cNQNqFdFjHVF8MDbKd_aoFnF24xhT2AIEQZ3lDcc/s400/tablevignette.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; height: 326px; width: 435px;" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglLx4M7me29Putfam9m-hc5WGJ6F5xhOEbQubDxGn8sbin2dVZpigO3ZjosZmCz2XkSF-pSlKbGSpuhRZzzEnKCk2DakfdkGUwUAIYHAwAgeaBJuMugQTLRTN13FHbNWlZnznFtq_4Nws/s1600/tablescapebyjuliayenicag.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469983571575505874" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglLx4M7me29Putfam9m-hc5WGJ6F5xhOEbQubDxGn8sbin2dVZpigO3ZjosZmCz2XkSF-pSlKbGSpuhRZzzEnKCk2DakfdkGUwUAIYHAwAgeaBJuMugQTLRTN13FHbNWlZnznFtq_4Nws/s400/tablescapebyjuliayenicag.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; height: 502px; width: 377px;" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;">For displaying a personal collection.

Dried plants, yes, I think they look perfect on this table, books, Chinese broaches, Chinese porcelain and a parsley tablecloth add the perfect touch to the soul of this Global Chic collector's table. </div><span style="color: #3366ff; font-family: webdings; font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size: 180%;">A Home Office...</span></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOiuLPYWTW4yBA9Kjaalyfo7FgxHqD3cgr4gLiG8N3mgO5-aw8_MB5pM8vtbPWcUH-Pnwsn0kYOpiX3EVIwW6iuR3NnnPo67vTC0ixoKXiDMgFwkL_ZJS0mR4rQyH4tFYTzAn4FLC6pds/s1600/DSC00086.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470004672465945618" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOiuLPYWTW4yBA9Kjaalyfo7FgxHqD3cgr4gLiG8N3mgO5-aw8_MB5pM8vtbPWcUH-Pnwsn0kYOpiX3EVIwW6iuR3NnnPo67vTC0ixoKXiDMgFwkL_ZJS0mR4rQyH4tFYTzAn4FLC6pds/s400/DSC00086.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; height: 418px; width: 314px;" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4srkdBri-FCy0_8pT5hX5VxjTu7GKGuwP21MgY9WwRIe3nzQmUBtPh49GgpQHQj2U18q_kfJCtq2A3VSEBZpcMraKEi6u2upB8SFKXykPVUSW_fKU4fl8HoryYXyROc3dXFdf-bojHuQ/s1600/DSC00084.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470003552104626770" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4srkdBri-FCy0_8pT5hX5VxjTu7GKGuwP21MgY9WwRIe3nzQmUBtPh49GgpQHQj2U18q_kfJCtq2A3VSEBZpcMraKEi6u2upB8SFKXykPVUSW_fKU4fl8HoryYXyROc3dXFdf-bojHuQ/s400/DSC00084.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; height: 300px; width: 400px;" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHuQQ1cZBKQFPyxNmgwphoNEldNugHRTbP60DbCGMt_7v_YKaokNJSCVxsN_SdmgWvbV2hx-50bpl6hqbSQCmzMNWtureWRojG8S22s5OhMvjad0NVJrAQDlj5ILjsddKzEYiAZaEocmA/s1600/homeofficestyle.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469979428702538866" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHuQQ1cZBKQFPyxNmgwphoNEldNugHRTbP60DbCGMt_7v_YKaokNJSCVxsN_SdmgWvbV2hx-50bpl6hqbSQCmzMNWtureWRojG8S22s5OhMvjad0NVJrAQDlj5ILjsddKzEYiAZaEocmA/s400/homeofficestyle.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; height: 470px; width: 353px;" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;">For the home desk I selected white and blue as the color scheme, but in a more fresh and modern way.

For wall art I hanged our Dali lithograph as the focal point and sided with two very inexpensive silhouettes I got from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/KZukowski" target="_blank">KZukowski</a> and finished it up with two bronze plates I got at my local vintage store. The use of bronze on the walls and on the table act as an invisible string that pulls it all together. I love to use every surface for inspiration hence the lampshade and the flower base used as inspirational boards, something I have done before. </div></div></div>

How to make a Floor Plan

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">It's easier to make than you think and it's the first thing to do when it comes to decorating a room. What you'll need: preferably big white paper, a triangle, a t-square, enough tracing paper and perhaps the most important tool, an architectural ruler. After you take two measurements of the room making sure to include doors, radiators, stair landing window seals and their respective heights, also take notes of electric and telephone outlets. It's always a good idea as long as you take measurements to draw an unofficial floor plan as well as take pictures of the place to remember it accurately. Once ready to start drawing decide on the scale you want to use. I prefer to use a scale of 1/4 or 1/2 because I like the furniture to look big enough. After having the floor plan of an empty room then the fun part begins. Having enough tracing paper will allow you to be able to try different furniture layouts without having to erase anything. A T-square will keep your drawing straight. Don't be afraid of your not-so-good looking drawings, the shape of the furniture don't need to be as perfect as long as the measurements are correct. Have fun and go and make your room as beautiful as you deserve it.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRpB_T8LQpmhIFtIAlwvwwbNfTcx4RNdOmPiwKDzBJ7FTu1ZTc4yOwWP3n7hWk7oAphyphenhyphenYyFLRimEQOs_owfgEKGM-50P451x2NF_oJVvRWDMlWDSsY8_t7Dfa4v_KK1_9wqpX0wVQLXB8/s1600/floor+plan.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459623358852288162" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRpB_T8LQpmhIFtIAlwvwwbNfTcx4RNdOmPiwKDzBJ7FTu1ZTc4yOwWP3n7hWk7oAphyphenhyphenYyFLRimEQOs_owfgEKGM-50P451x2NF_oJVvRWDMlWDSsY8_t7Dfa4v_KK1_9wqpX0wVQLXB8/s400/floor+plan.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; height: 300px; width: 400px;" /></a></div>Above a (rough picture) of a floor plan of a living room/dining room of a home I'm currently working on.

Mediterranean Alert

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">For a long, long time American Design has been influenced in great amount by the English, but lately I've been happily enjoying the growing influence of French design and architecture. From a stunning historical Houston, Texas house that has been transformed into a breathtaking French Chateau look-a-like (see the article in <a href="http://www.housebeautiful.com/">House Beautiful</a> "Blue as a Titian." If I hadn't read the article I would've sworn this house was a remodeled chateau in the southern France)-to more sleek interpretations of pied-à-terres in the City. This sophisticated influence distends itself from the more Provencal style with an <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Jacques-Grange-Interiors-Pierre-Passebon/dp/2080301128">a-la-Jacques-Grange</a> approach. In this month's <a href="http://www.pointclickhome.com/elle_decor">Elle Decor</a> issue the house of Interior Designer <a href="http://www.anguscaravelli.com/">Paula Caravelli</a> also frames a very French continental influence.
