So Stoked for Spring

Old Man Winter must have have really scorned Mother Nature this year. I don't know about you but I am ready for the Mockingbirds to conduct their Spring symphony. Yeah ,yeah, yeah, I know we Texans have it easier than most but it's all relative right, and this winter has been a dozy.

That being said, winter does usher in it's own slew of niceties. Wrapping your hands around the comfort of a warm mug ,staying in, and enjoying the simplicity of a fire place are some of my favorites.

The fireplace, presents a new design opportunity when Spring no longer requires it to provide comfort from the blustery days of winter. What to do with the caverns of an empty fire place? It can house candle's, architectural pieces,even a great wine rack.

In the Haute Seat

I love that a singular chair has the ability to define or simply enhance any space. Modern classics are well worth every hard earned cent as are the "ooh's" and "ah's” that you'll politely dismiss.
There are Classics that are undisputed and then there are those still vying for the lofty accolade.
Oh yes, you'll see Eames,Bertoia, and Eeros below but, I had to indulge in a couple of designers that I hope are able to weather the storm of trends that are sure to come and go.

Ikat Cool

According to Wikipedia; Ikat,is the method of weaving that uses a resist dyeing process similar to tie-dye on either the warp or weft fibres.The dye is applied prior to the threads being woven to create the final fabric pattern or design.
That's all fine and well BUT what we love is Ikat's ability to work into most any decor. Sometimes Ikat rests softly as an understated accent piece but she can command a room when draping large focal pieces.
