Late last year I posted the photo below, loving the blue and green mix and loving those drapery panels (still wish I knew what fabric they used).

Then last weekend while wasting time researching on pinterest I ran across this image.  Yep, it’s got to be the same room, right?

John Loecke Interior Design

Of course, this made me want to see more…..so some more searching lead me to this next image (yes, I know I claim to be so busy…..but this is oddly how I often zone out and relax…)  Definitely the same bones with a more eclectic vibe.  Love it too.

I am a huge fan of this wallpaper, available in 48 colorways.  I am thinking of using this paper in our Master bedroom or bath (if we ever make it there….so much to do!)

The lavender colorway would be fabulous in a nursery, don’t you think?  Maddie’s wallpaper is sitting in her closet waiting to be hung….or else this would be a contender for her room!

Something about this pattern is understated and calming to me.  Do you like it?

Ok, how strange is this?  I was just scanning my blogroll for posts that had popped up since I caught up earlier today.  First, I saw this image.

 And then, a few minutes later, I saw this one.

Are you seeing double like me?

Surprise, Surprise…..I have a new fabric love…..Peter Fasano’s “Tanzania”

And on the drapes….

My July 2010 issue of Architectural Digest recently arrived.  I’ll be the first to admit that this magazine usually sits on a stack in my office for some time before I get around to leafing through it.  But, Monday night my husband graciously cleaned up after dinner, sending me to the couch with a magazine and my guilty pleasure, The Bachelorette, on TV.  During the commercials I flipped through the magazine and was completely drawn to the feature on Thomas Pheasant’s design of a Virginia home.  I’ll share more images later, but thought I would share just one for now.

Can you imagine having a kitchen so incredible….how could you find an excuse not to cook?  But, if you must know my eye was immediately drawn to the lighting.  I knew these fixtures….where had I seen them before?

But of course, I had seen them in this stunning kitchen by Brooks & Falotico via House of Turquoise.  But wait, there is more.  Here it is again in a room by Palmer Weiss.

This beautiful fixture is available in any Benjamin Moore color and in nearly 200 powder coated finishes.  It’s also available in a flush mounted version.  I absolutely love this fixture.  I love the clean lines and its openness, allowing unobstructed views.  Sheer perfection if you ask me!

For more information on pricing, please contact me.

This “Seeing Double” did not test my memory as much as some–as both of these sightings were relatively recent.  To tell the truth, the hardest part of this exercise was finding the correct article and magazine among my collection of hundreds of magazines!  The hiding place…. my daughter’s tent in the basement!  She often banishes the dog and me to the tent, a very bossy little 22 month old!  I must have taken some reading material with me last time!

Anyway, my first sighting of the William Yeoward “Cherington Bookcase” was from the March 2010 issue of Traditional Home.  The feature was on a glamorous Chicago area home.  The home is lovely and while not totally my style, there are many elements I appreciated upon reading.   This “bookcase” used in their dining room immediately caught my eye, as did the beautiful De Gournay bronze metallic wallpaper!

I just love this piece and have been looking for something like this for our living room.

Here it is again in Amanda Nisbet’s New York apartment.  Besides the fact that I love everything about this image–the colors, use of mirrors, the over-sized gourd lamps, etc.–I was excited to see the Cherington Bookcase again.  This time, the three upper finials were removed due to ceiling height restrictions.

What do you think?  Do you like it as much as I do?  It also comes with the option of a Chestnut finish with painted interior.  I, myself, am partial to the white, but could see using color (paint or fabric) on the interior.  To see the full line of William Yeoward furnishings, visit their website.

Note:  I do not have an account with this company.  However, I do have a relationship with a craftsman in the US who does reproductions.  If you want additional information, feel free to contact me.
