Red Hot

My sofa must haves are:
1. bench seat cushion
2. not too deep.
I've spotted one from Dwell Studio that makes the cut. This sofa is stylish, contemporary and curvy. The form can't be more beautiful. I see it with velvet print pillows in a living room where sheer white panels pool onto deep java floors. The next time you're in NYC stop by 77 Wooster St. and ask to see Simone.

Beautiful Sheer Shades

I believe in a well dressed window. Beautiful window treatments can change the look and feel of an entire room.  Want to go light and contemporary?  Try a sheer shade.  Sheers keep light coming in and add a bit more privacy than nothing on those windows. Using natural fabrics like cotton and linen softens folds and create a slight drape. There are tricks to choosing the right sheer, color and pattern.  Let me know if you get stuck making window treatment decisions.
