• ~One Little Closet To Rule Them All~

  Oooops! Forgot to take a true BEFORE~. But close your eyes and imagine the closet without the rich blue… Ok, that was easy enough! As you can see…the closet, all white, needed a serious design lift. So, out came the paint brushes and the paint.  In the Muse’s cottage, if you stand still, long enough you are apt to get painted (that is simply a legend…a fable~one that has some basis of truth). lol The closet is a mere 30 inches [...]

• ~Rough Design Sketch~

  The next step will be to add the color…fabrics, paint, etc. ~which are leaning in the aqua blue and butter gold family. I am going to use colored pencils in my hand sketch. If it is acceptable, then I will move on to my computer aided drawing tablet and begin the real life rendering. What do you think? From traditional to contemporary… Design takes many paths… Which path is your home on? Did you like this? Share it:Tweet

• Tablescape And Trash To Treasure All In One

  Acres of hidden treasure… In boxes and bins… All holding hidden beauty… All latent~silent gems… Under piles amassed… A hoarder’s stash… Of would be~could be… And should have beens. The Muse gathered her coinage… And smartly thus… Bought a wondrous bounty… As to make pirates lust…. A silver teapot battered about… A bird whose wing was weak… Not secure or truly stout… Paper roses wrinkled and worn… Their edges thread tattered and torn… Potpourri whose scent had gone… Yes, the [...]

• ~Yearn For The Urn~

  Weathered? yes. Worn? yes. Forgotten? never. A faded whiteness, almost gray… Called out to me… Across the market way… I rushed to touch… The grainy sides… The cool concrete… Caused my pulse to rise… Its hefty weight… Of giant mass… Would find a home… It would be mine at last… Muse 2010 There are few things as thrilling, as spying a used treasure and being able to  bring it home…I think this urn has a new life in its future, perhaps a [...]

• ~Design Dissection: Vignette~

  Today let’s look at this table’s vignette.  Almost all of us, at one time or another, have had an opportunity to create a buffet~or serving station. What can you do, in order to avoid, the dreaded and ho~hum “runway” look, which entails mind numbing miles of flatness. This recent design offers many fantastic design clues.  Can you name them? 1. Varied Heights (think lift…3 levels is ideal) 2. Varied Textures (entice not only the taste palette but all the senses) [...]

• ~Seasons Do Change~

  Do you recall the warmth of the sun… The gentle breezes… The chirping of feathered friends? Do you recall the sound of the water… The bubbling brooks… Or the swishing of the lake?
