Frank Lloyd Wright’s Home, Oak Park Illinois

On a recent visit to Chicago I had the opportunity to visit Frank Lloyd Wright’s Home and Studio in Oak Park, Illinois.   I am in awe of his vision – the implementation of scale, proportion, contrast and colour!  If you ever have an opportunity to do this, I would highly recommend it!

I will be sharing more of this visit on The TBB’s Wine Dine & Design blog shortly!

Traditional Homes Pin of the day.  Love how the painted sideboard plays  with the formality of this room!

You may have noticed that I'm a big fan of painted furniture from previous posts here and here.  In fact I have another piece in the works right now using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint so stay tuned!

What are your thoughts on painted furniture?

Years ago I lived in a rental with an old clawfoot tub.  The landlord agreed to let me paint the outside of the tub a navy blue – it was stunning!  Although this looks black at first glance, it’s actually painted Farrow & Ball’s "Pelt”, a lovely deep shade of egglpant.

This week I was “flipping” through Flipboard (have you tried this amazing app? ) and came across a Dwell.com article by Olivia Martin on unique home floors.  This glass floor in a Paris apartment caught my eye!

Lately I’ve found myself gravitating to the warmth of gold, bronze and brass in interior finishes.  So, when I was perusing the September issue of House Beautiful this week  this ad for Crystorama’s Broche pendant stopped me in my tracks!

I’ve been searching ever since for an example of this in a room, because I think it would be stunning.  If you find one let me know!

This week I’m sharing a fabric find!  I’ve been perusing the Tonic Living website and I  have to say it was hard to pick ONE fabric to share.  But this one definitely caught my eye!

 Gazebo Cloud from Tonic Living

And here’s an application of that very fabric from their FB page – lovely!
