Are You Trying to Skirt The Issue?

Well sometimes, that is a good idea....depending on your issue. I mean if you have something ugly to cover like a CPU/computer cords, recycling bins or stacks of magazines then a skirt is a good idea. Heck, you might even want to cover up the table itself! Much like I did in my dining room. Grandma's hand me down wasn't much to look at but it was the perfect size so I had my seamstress make a custom burlap tablecloth with a smocking detail at the top.

Voila!

Oh Martha, so daring with your mini-skirt!

It's Like a Fun House!

Tom Scheerer used them as a headboard.

I used these crazy angled mirrors once in a TV Studio's office that I designed (shown below) and they were pretty easy to install. The client wanted modern, masculine and sleek and they worked perfectly to achieve the look. Plus, they really helped to bounce light around in this dark, windowless office. Like 'em? You can get your own here!

Check Yes, No or Maybe

How are we feeling about bold printed wallpaper in major rooms of the house?

Do these images make you feel...

Dizzy?

Happy?

Excited?

Nauscious?

Fearful of commitment?

Like you are at grandmas's house?

Like you are staying at a Colonial B&B?

Like you are touring a designer showhouse?

Like you are you having a bad Laura Ashley acid-like flashback?

Could you sleep soundly in a room with this much pattern?

Could you have a relaxed meal with this much pattern going on?

Or should we relegate these mammoth prints to smaller spaces like powder rooms, closets and entry ways?

I want to hear your opinion...I really, really do! So leave me a comment.
