Need help with accessorizing
Comments (15)Thank you, everyone, for your comments and advice thus far. I'm not that good at accessorizing, and knew that many of you here are, that's why I posted. I've found, though, that I've already learned a little from you......because I did think that what needed to be added would need a rougher, aged texture, to play off all of the rich fabrics used. So, I'm learning from the GW members as I go! Evidence of that is that we already looked at some small lamps like lesmis suggested at Home Goods, and my daughter will probably pick up one of those for the bedside table. I'm liking the idea of a swing arm floor lamp beside the chair that Jan and gracie recommended, and I'lll be on the hunt for one of those. Oakleyoak, that is a toile fabric called Four Seasons manufactured by P. Kauffmann , in the robin's egg colorway. It does come in other colors, (crimson red and cornflower blue). I doubt you'd find it in retail, yet you could get it custom-made, LOL! And, I'd love have a custom decorative sewing business where I could do this all the time for profit. It seems I spend all my extra money on fabrics. It's essentially "nanna's room" when I visit, so a reading lamp beside the bed, and another by the chair, will be a necessity. Some antique books with an old stone figurine, gracie, is exactly the kind of accessory advice that I was hoping for. I'll be on the lookout for that, too! While I have your attention, do you think these silk curtains would look better if pulled back with some pretty tasseled rope pullbacks? I saw some pretty almond colored rope tassels that I could buy to use if you think that would look appropriate....See MoreFaux bois table- help accessorizing
Comments (7)Thank you all so much. I like the sticks idea, but from a practical standpoint, being by the lake means tons of spiders, which means tons of webs between any two points. I added a small box for keys, and may just keep it with the blue vase unless something else hits me, or, if anyone else has any ideas??? aktillery, I have another basket of Blenko balls in the upstairs bath. I love them, too! And, you can't see in the picture, but I have a ubiquitous lake sign (though custom on Etsy), so not sure about more artwork. I thought about the dough bowl. I might watch eBay for a long one. Some of the balls are pretty large....See MoreIdeas for coffee table, tv stand, curtains and carpet. HELP!

Comments (4)I can only see a strip of the ivory shag rug. However, I would suggest a much larger, almost room-size rug in a traditional or transitional pattern (try overstock.com or esale. rugs under those headings). With such a dark floor (which shows every bit of lint and dust) a large rug is advised for that alone. Look for an Oriental rug in warm colors which will look good with traditional and modern styles, especially if you choose a more geometric (and less floral) pattern. I recommend simple off-white curtain panels as window coverings. Color can be introduced with the rug, pillows and art on the walls. You also need some table and/or floor lamps for nighttime illumination. A blue and white Chinese-style ceramic lamp base will look good with the Oriental rug, and you can get both terracotta and blue pillows that have a pattern with white or off-white also in the mix....See MoreTiffany P
