<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">When you are on the market for a new dining table, you look for something pleasing to the eye. Before you get attached to a table that makes your swoon, read these tips to narrow down your table selection:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Typically you can fit more people around a table with a pedestal base AS LONG AS that base does not interfere with the legs of your chairs. Beautiful pedestal bases can be chunky and flare out at the floor. These same bases can interfere with chair legs.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you are choosing a bench to pair with your table, make sure the legs or pedestal base allow enough room to push the bench in.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Figure 24 inches per place setting at a minimum to decide how many chairs you can accommodate comfortably at a table.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Tables can come in different lengths and widths. In a more narrow room, choose a smaller width. To figure out what width I can use in my room I always add an extra 24 inches to my the table size. The reason for this is that you will need to pull the chair out approx 24 inches to sit in it. If you want to use a table with a 42 inch width, but with the chairs pulled out they either hit the wall, or don’t allow for any traffic to walk by, you should look at narrower tables.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you love the look of grooves or planks in your table top, please understand that those tables will be a catch all for crumbs, and writing on it will be tough.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you are using chairs that have arms to pair with your table make sure the height of the arm fits under the apron height of the table so it slides in easily. It is also useful to know how much room there is between the table apron and the chair seat so it is comfortable to cross your legs.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ask the company or person you are getting the table from to help you figure out if the dining table you are interested in will fit the number of people you want to seat. Knowing the dimensions of your room is very helpful!</span></li>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">With the weather still warmer than usual around here I took a trip to the pumpkin patch in search of white pumpkins. I have been seeing them in front of beautifully decorated front porches on Instagram and Pinterest. Here is how I incorporated them into my front porch decor. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The Fall season is the start of Halloween, Thanksgiving and the festive winter holidays. If you host one of these holidays, now is the perfect opportunity to make home improvements to get ready for all those guests coming over. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I wrote this post because I recently had a lot of family stay over. I wanted them to feel comfortable and for my home to be inviting so I spruced it up a bit and thought I would share these few ideas to 're new' my <i>home sweet home</i> before they arrived. I included other beautiful people's photos to inspire!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Summer is in full swing. Besides a good game of Bottle Bash, the biggest trend is to set up the backyard as an extension of the inside of the home. Here are some fun styles and colors. Which one matches your own personal style?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For those not afraid of color, take on the trend of adding bold hues. Match weathered a teak table with fuchsia painted seating. The traditional pedestal dining table you would see in a dining room is now outdoors! The backyard is another fun room to decorate. If you add color through chairs and accessories like pads and decor, its easier and budget friendly to change out in the future!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We are seeing natural materials inside the home and outside spaces as well! Outdoor covered porches with distressed wood ceilings and beams. Stone is very popular also. The use of rattan and teak lend to this look as well. Hang a candle chandelier with vintage worn elements. Be prepared for your outdoor pieces to develop a weather gray look over time. </span></div>

Bring this look to your own backyard by adding muted color tones, tall lanterns, rattan and wood furniture. Comfort and a mix of lots of creamy white is key!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Happy Friday! I finished such a fun project that I had to share a part of it with you. I worked with a client on her master bedroom and her inspiration was India. I love global influenced rooms so we had a good time infusing jewel tones, sumptuous layers of texture, and ornate patterns. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We decided to remove all the white from the room so it would really encompass that worldly vibe. All the doors and trim work was painted a deep dark brown. It made a huge difference in the overall look. Easy tip to get this look.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We started with grass cloth wallpaper on the back wall. the jewel toned frames and all the other metal tones had a bigger impact with the textural paper behind them. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The moorish patterned rug lifted color and pattern from the floor up. This is a great fix for underwhelming carpet - add a large yummy rug.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We used Benjamin Moore's Dove White (OC 17) on all the wood and Benjamin Moore's Sea Star (2123 30) for the ceiling and the back wall of all glass cabinets.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We replaced the small sink with a larger 15" undermounted stainless steel sink. We also installed a new glass front refrigerator and ice maker. The counter top is quartz and called Detnal Azul Iran Pentel with an eased edge.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The arabesque glass back splash tiles are from Glazzio. We used three different colors of blue and arranged them on the floor so the tiler would know the design we wanted. We did not want a specific pattern; more free forming. This was very helpful for the contractor! I recommend it.</span></div>

This was a very tricky project for the painter but they did a great job! </span></div>

I am a fan of wood beams, rustic stone and, of course wood floors with tons of character. We were so fortunate to work with a sweet family on their authentic Pennsylvania dutch home in Mt. Bethel recently. I thought it would be fun to share what I love about this farmhouse cottage feeling project. It is a good Tuesday morning inspiration lol!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The original mantel was a simple small wood ledge (see photo below). We 'chunked it up' by designing a larger box made of oak to fit around it. We had the wood stained, beat up and installed by scribing it in against the stone. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The bookcases were painted a crisp white. We used Benjamin Moore's Chantilly Lace ( OC 65 ). This really brightened up the stone fireplace. The backs of the bookcases were painted a lovely green apple color. We used Benjamin Moore's Dill Pickle ( 2147-40 ).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am a lighting nut! We changed out the original white fan with this more artful wood product that is just lovely to look at. It has three long turned blades. So nice on the eyes! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The two teal blue chairs are swivel gliders that are not only so fun to sit in, but the color is a great soft tone that partners well with the green.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The wall art between the windows was a last minute addition that has a fun story to it. We needed something to fill the space but nothing worked. We spotted the homeowners basket full of light bulbs and created instant art! We then added the pear for color. Ta da! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Classic and reminiscent of lazy days enjoying a picnic, the Gingham pattern is not only the hot trend for spring to summer, but it has been around for a very long time, including the Victorian era. It is only natural that it comes into its own this spring! And the room style you use it doesn't have to be country inspired. I have been reading recently that celebrities like Bella Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, and Amal Clooney have been spotted in Gingham. Check out how these designers are using it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">TWO main differences:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">1. Gingham is always two colors. Plaid is multiple colors. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">2. Gingham is made up of lines that are equal sized. Plaid has a lot of different sized lines.</span></div>

At 8:50 am I will be sharing home design trends that anyone can incorporate. I have had my eye on the fashion runway, checking out many amazing interior designers and bloggers, and have seen a spike in these four trends. Hope you can tune in! I will of course have the skinny on it all later that day if you miss the show. Have a lovely day!</span>Shoshana Gosselinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04583965848375311516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347073798359226344.post-33199819213752738742017-05-07T20:36:00.000-04:002017-05-07T20:36:00.776-04:00A Spring Bedroom Of Blue And Green<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"I envision this bedroom to be cozy and serene." Those were the words our very sweet client used when she hired us to design a guest bedroom for her in-laws that were coming from overseas in eight weeks. The last guest bedroom we did for her (see pic at end of this post) was much more specific to a whimsical style, but this one would be completely different. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Generously sized night stands like this one allow for a lamp, and more space for alarm clock and/or cell phone. Drawer space or an extra open area give space for him/her to store a book, TV remote, or any other item your guest brought with them that they want to have near the bed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">......p.s. Terrariums (you can find these everywhere these days!) with some stones and faux succulents are great table top decor because they bring in the look of nature and never need to be watered!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For us, 'cozy and serene' included light airy bedding, natural textures and woods, and accent colors that were spa like. We chose an upholstered headboard with oil bronze nail heads in a nubby linen fabric. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The duvet cover and bed skirt are fresh and neutral so if the homeowner decides to change out the accent colors, there will not be a need to lose these previously bought pieces. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A few pillows give the bed a comfy soft colorful look and can be used as an extra cushion behind the standard or king bed pillow, or for behind the back to sit up in bed.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Every guest bedroom should have a large wall mirror for viewing clothing, hair and make up. I also love a bench as well, so someone can take on/pull off shoes or place a suitcase or clothing on it. </span></div>

Clients specifically ask for them. But lately I have had an interest in more taupe tones. Some have a soft brown undertone and some have a lovely grey finish. These colors can create a very beutiful and comforting vibe.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I am loving these Benjamin Moore colors:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I think fireplaces are not just for function. It can be a wonderful design element for a room. Whether you use it or not! And its the perfect time to give a fireplace an update! Easy changes include cleaning it up and adding new decor. You can paint brick, change tile, and of course, re-do the mantel..... or add one that wasn't there before! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This home was built very recently. It is a gorgeous house. They hired us to furnish and paint the master bedroom. Adding a mantel to the existing fireplace was on the top of my list. We used a piece of maple, stained it, and installed it. Very simple but big difference! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I am constantly wavering back and forth over this issue - sectional or sofa? Whether I am working on a clients home project or my own home, its a big decision! The sectional offers plenty of appeal including lots of seating for cuddling, and that coveted corner seat everyone fights over. But a sofa is less cumbersome, looking lighter in a room, and is not such a commitment as a sectional with its permanent configuration. </span></div>
<br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">
</span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">When I mention 'sectional' to some of my clients I get a reaction like "Is that still in style?" or "Don't those belong in the basement?" Truth is, sectionals have become more modern and chic looking. The upholstery options are extensive and the arms are less bulky. They can also be the perfect answer to seating in some rooms due to the layout of the space. </span></span></div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u>Many sectionals are customizable</u>. You choose the length on either end (the right or left side can be longer than the other), the look of the arm, the style of the cushion and the corner seat can be a square corner or rounded corner. </span></div>

BUT if you have constrictions due to lack of space in a room or entry ways that you don't want blocked, you may be forced to use either a sofa or sectional. Its important to measure your room carefully. Plan it out on graph paper if you can. Include doorways (you don't want to block any entry way with furniture). You can also tape out the possible furniture layout you are considering on the ground using painters tape. If you have furniture in the room now, move it around in different configurations to get a feel for what works best. Here are some examples of rooms that work best with either a sectional or sofa: </span></span></span></span></span><br />

A sectional would block either the doorway or the entrance point so a sofa would be a good option as seen below. No one will be tripping over furniture to get through the room.</span></span></b></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="text-align: start;">Here is another long narrow room that has a different issue; the fireplace and television are on two different walls. The sectional allows seating to see both and keeps a nice wide entrance point in and out of the room. The use of two sofas would have narrowed the entrance point making it difficult to walk through the room.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This room is super big and the sectional floating in the center grounds the space creating a cozier seating arrangement. I use sectionals often in large great rooms. They bring the space down to size so you don't feel like the person across from you is so far away.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Separate sofas and chairs for really well for multiple seating for guests when you entertain (friends don't typically like to snuggle up to person to their left or right; it can be uncomfortable). It also allows you to change up the arrangement of the furniture. And its great for allowing conversation and traffic flow. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Added radiant heat to floor then began tile work. I worked hand in hand with the tiler to make sure the tiles were forming nicely in a herringbone pattern on the floor, and the key is to use tiles next to each other that don't have a similar pattern/veining (good tip when using machine made tiles).</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The bathroom is small so we used the same tile throughout to keep it bright and expansive looking. BUT we did 'shake it up' in varying lengths and patterns of that tile. The floor and wall tile above chair rail are long narrow pieces (herringbone pattern on floor and random on wall). The tile used below the chair rail, and walls of shower are larger pieces.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I wanted to use calacatta marble for the entire project but the price tag was beyond my budget, so I only used it for the chair rail, floor of the shower and pattern on the back shower wall. After a lot of research, I found a man made tile I liked that looked similar, and I am happy with it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We needed a 60 inch double vanity. I found this one and liked how the marble looked that came with it. Also looks like a piece of furniture with its tall legs, that gives the room a more open feel because it is a small space. <a href="http://www.houzz.com/photos/79484976/Brittany-60-Urban-Gray-Double-Cabinet-Top-Not-Included-transitional-bathroom-vanities-and-sink-consoles" target="_blank">HERE IS THE LINK</a>.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We have array of lighting options now. The chrome wall sconces with fabric shades for ambiance lighting, two recessed lights above the vanity for more direct light (I preferred this vs using wall sconces above the vanity because I have under 8 foot ceiling and would have felt squatty). Also a light in the shower and fan light.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am constantly teetering back and forth on using sectionals in client projects. I had one in my home years ago, and said I would not use one again. Fast forward three years later, and I just purchased two for myself! This Thursday at 8:50 am on <a href="http://www.wfmz.com/news/69news-at-sunrise" target="_blank">WFMZ TV 69 News at Sunrise</a> I will share the good reasons to use sectionals!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Forecasters are taking to the internet and sharing their opinions on <i>What's Hot</i> and <i>What's Not</i> in 2017 home interior design trends. Reading up on opinions from various designers, architects and style bloggers was so interesting! I am listing the top four trends I think make headline news and are noteworthy!

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">1. Designing Spaces Using A Mix of Styles, Time Periods, and Cultures.</span></b> Now more than ever this idea is catching on and, isn't it more interesting and fun to have layers of old and new elements side by side. A sense of worldliness! Like working in Georgian and Victorian era pieces, along with tailored lines that are more contemporary. Such an interesting aesthetic! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I get requests all the time from clients to incorporate some prized possessions into a new design plan. This recently completed family room project you see above was curated using a ton of my clients treasured pieces. We paired beautifully ornate gold framed art pieces with a modern armless settee, recovered two wingback chairs based on the Danish modern movement and then reupholstered in a more updated fabric. A new custom media console blends well keeping the warm peaceful feel so you get a wonderful sense of the homeowners. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;"><b>3. Kitchens are Charming and Full of Character</b></span><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="color: #274e13;">.</span></b> This kitchen is the epitome of kitchen trends. Kitchens are less utilitarian and moving toward a homier feel. Here are some on trend ideas:</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">+White painted cabinetry as well as varying shades of gray and mushroom tones. Island colors will continue to be a different color or stain and look handcrafted, more like furniture.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">+Subway tiles are a classic staple for a backsplash. NOW there are longer and narrower options used by designers. Go for this look but keep it in the creamy or bone white finish to stay current and timeless. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">+Open shelving like the wood ledges you see in this photo. It brings in warmth and another layer of texture.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">+Gold. Golden tones in a matte or satin finish for hardware and lighting are seen everywhere in beautifully designed kitchens. But what about the faucet and the appliances? </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Gold may be fun but it is a trend, and investing in a faucet that is gold may be pricey for a look you may not like in a year or two. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">As you can see from this photo, silver may still be a great option. It is OK to mix metals!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">+Quartz is still growing in popularity. Manufacturers are making great strides in the look of this man made material that is very practical. </span></div>

We Are Compartmentalizing....<i>Sort Of</i>.</span></b><span style="font-size: small;"> We have worked so hard to figure out how to design and decorate open floor plans that include a kitchen as part of the great room. But now home builders are getting requests from customers to have the option of closing off the kitchen. So during your dinner party your cooking area can stay messy during prep time. Love these gray sliding doors used in the photo above! Pocket doors are also really great at closing up, and opening up spaces. </span></span></div>
