END OF SUMMER BLUES & A SALE!

END OF SUMMER BLUES & A SALE!

Chronicles from A Well Lived House...

Let’s look at a few gorgeous images of soft blues to please our spirits, shall we?   This dining room above was by interior designer MARK SIKES. 

SOFT BLUES/SPA, is another sub-category of my ever-growing

BLUE & WHITE COLLECTION:

Below is another  MARK SIKES designed LIVING & DINING ROOM filled with botanical prints, chinoiserie, porecelainware, block printed patterns including CHIANG MAI DRAGON in China Blue on the sofa, teal leather upholstered chairs, a few modern prints thrown in, some tailored curtains and a few touches of lilac in the flowers.  Just such a rich mix to keep the eye entertained and the soul enriched.

This lovely botanical print has all the right soft blues and a touch of lavender…I have a few left and then they are gone!  This pattern has been discontinued for some reason 🙁

I love a more modern mix with the traditional, don’t you?   Don’t want to be staid.  MARK SIKES again.

WANNA SHOP?   Here’s the link…

Summer at its best.  

This is a Joseph Frank print by Schumacher below –  Citrus Garden in Pool. This fabric is also available in an outdoor fabric.

And a wallpaper border that is surprisingly affordable…

JOANN PALMISIANO is sooo good at designing interiors for resorts, rentals, cabins, hotels. etc. She is know for salvaging objects like the vintage flags below.  She also uses STUDIO TULLIA pillows out of JALISA paisley…

And she has a new book coming out soon.

 

I collaborated on a collection with TINA from THE ENCHANTED HOME and she used these lovely fabrics in her home in PALMETTO BLUFF.   

more MARK SIKES

The soft blues are a casual, comfortable style. Could be the Hamptons, could be the Pacific Northwest coast, or the Australian or New South Wales coast.  Stripes and simple prints,  embroidered textiles, shimmery velvets.   Blue and white pottery, rattan, blond or lighter wood finishes, vintage paintings. You know.

LES  TOUCHES by Brunswig & Fils, forever classic

This fabric is shown on the chair, in a room designed by MARK SIKES.  

 The fabric I currently have in stock is the embroidered version shown below, but I can get the cotton printed pattern as well.

Less than a week until the kids are back in school.  I am ready.   But for now, I am heading off to the beach!   Enjoy those blue skies, the sunshine, relaxing Summer afternoons….they’re the best.  And so are you!

 

My next pillow giveaway is a HUNT SLONEM – BUNNY HUTCH in BLUE accent pillow that has been sooooo popular.

 

Thanks for stopping by and ENJOY YOUR SUMMER!

TIFFANY BROOKS , HGTV Design Star – Artist and Interior Designer Works Her Magic

TIFFANY BROOKS , HGTV Design Star – Artist and Interior Designer Works Her Magic

I’ve been meaning to share some work from this charismatic and talented woman since June. With the kids out of school for Summer life and work is a spiraling tug of war.

Always looking for inspiring talent, surprisingly, it sometimes finds me (or STUDIO TULLIA, that is). Tiffany purchased some pillows from me and I was thrilled to see them show up in one of her project reveals. I love to see “after” photos – one of the most rewarding things about my work.

So here are some pictures of a lovely living and dining room a la Tiffany Brooks. What really blows me away is that she is the artist who also did the art work, which seems to pull everything together.

Look at the lovely layering of textures and patterns.

Interesting vignette of the dining room. She managed to make these vintage chairs work with the finish treatment and bold color choices.   So much personality in this room.

Carolyn Roehm loves blue and white and has even written a  book on the subject.  These high lacquer walls somehow work counterbalanced with bold urns, mirror and scale of room.
