THIS OR THAT: SPOT ON CHAIR VIGNETTES!

April 3, 2013
  • Share

Same animal print spotted wallpaper two very different chairs and looks.  Which do you prefer.

One chair vignette is a bright turquoise blue faux bamboo fretwork chair loaded up with fab fashion books and a stack of magazines in the home of interior designer Tiffany Richey.

The other scene is in interior designer Meredith Heron’s design office and features a black leather Louis XVI side chair, black bookshelf complete with a carved stone bust.

Does one of these vignettes appeal to you more?  Which might you prefer in your home?

Thibaut – Tanzania Wallpaper – $72 per roll  (black and off white spots. Animal print wall covering)(above)

Oh…by the way…I am LOVING this Thibaut wallpaper.  So wonderful.  Am totally not an animal print or animal spots girl…but I LOVE this wallpaper.  Can you tell I am obsessing over wallpaper lately?  Might have to branch into that next for COCOCOZY!

Let me know in the comments below…which chair picture is perfect for you? I would love to hear your thoughts. I’m leaning towards the bright turquoise chair against the spotted wall but am not sure.

Happy Wednesday!

P.S.  UH OH – After 3.5 months out of my house due to construction for water damage…I was supposed to move back in this weekend!  Woohooo!  Right?  Wrong.  We of course had a little snafu.  A big snafu really!  The wood floor stain on the brand new wood floors is not at all right. I wanted a light gray floor but instead I got a weird putty color with yellowing varnish showing.  Needless to say…I wasn’t happy…so today…the floor guy is back at the house…re-sanding the floors and will try at it again.  Here’s a look at the floors in my bedroom that now need to be redone AGAIN.  Oy vey.  Look, I recognize, there could be a lot worse things that happen to me so I am taking this all in stride.  We are doing several samples.  Last time the guy only showed me sample with one coat of varnish…he put 3 coats on and I think a lot of the yellow from the white oak came through.  My neighbor JH came over yesterday during our “floor meeting” with the contractor and the floor guy…she is an expert in decorative finishes…so that helped.  We’ll see!  They said it would take 4 or 5 days extra.  Keeping fingers crossed!

This is my bedroom in my tiny cottage in the Hollywood Hills – the floors are not quite the right color – back to the drawing board (above)

P.P.S. To leave on a positive note…had a great conference call with JP, AR and AR today discussing the marketing and p.r. for my partnership with them…they are the people we made the 500 pillows for…a major fashion brand that we are collaborating with this summer.  It all is very exciting.  Will tell you more soon.  They are really nice and we had a fun conversation.

    Ah, I love them both! The top one’s a bit girly so I’d naturally pick it because I’m single but numero two would be better for those living with men

    Love the wallpaper…have matching shoes 😉

    They are both gorgeous! So tricky to choose. I really love the Meredith Heron one, however, because the solid back of the Louis xvi chair really helps balance the business of the paper! I hope you can move back into your home soon!

    I love the first vignette. You can never go wrong with a turquoise bamboo fretwork chair. Best of luck with your floors – the extra effort will be worth it in the end!

    I have loved this wallpaper for months! I am dying to put in in a dining room! It’s like a JCrew animal print shoe. It goes with everything!

Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive.Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive. 🌸
One thing I’ve learned is that every outdoor space needs a focal point. It gives your eye a place to land and makes the whole space feel more intentional.
In this courtyard, the bougainvillea naturally becomes that focal point, adding color, height, and movement without overwhelming the space.
If you’re designing your own patio or garden, start with one standout feature, then let everything else support it.
Save this tip for your next outdoor project. ✨

Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surr Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surrey, restored back to its former grandeur.
Grade II listed and stripped of most of its original character by previous owners, this 9,000 sqft home with seven bedrooms, and five bathrooms was brought back to life for a French-Swedish couple raising two young kids here. The brief: Parisian luxe with a Scandinavian twist, and a design calm enough to keep the grand proportions feeling intimate.
Covet Noir rebuilt what had been lost: full plasterwork, raised & fielded panels, a bespoke decorative ceiling, and added a cantilevered limestone staircase with Nero Marquina cabochon inlay in the entrance hall. The material palette leans into marble and alabaster, softened with boucle and brushed cottons, chosen to hold up to two kids and two dogs without losing the elegance. Antique furniture and architectural fittings were sourced throughout to keep the project sustainable, alongside ground source heating.
Grand bones, calm hand. This is the kind of restoration we could look at all day. 🤍

Which vaulted ceiling style is more your speed? Dr Which vaulted ceiling style is more your speed? Drop your answer 👇
A — Warm wood beams and stone
B — Light and airy with floor-to-ceiling windows
A great vaulted ceiling doesn’t just add height. It changes how a room feels entirely. The best ones make you stop, look up, and never want to leave.
Save this for your next build or renovation inspo. 🖤

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.
This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and k This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and kept us there.
A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.
