We are so excited to be a part of this year's Wilmington Arts Council's Designer Showhouse. They released the selections on Friday -- an anonymous jury selected designers based on their design pitch. We went for the foyer and the library, hoping for one or the other. We are so excited to announce that we are decorating the FOYER! It's a little nerve racking because it will be everyone's first impression when they enter the home. Check out our plan below... it is complete with our own CUSTOM wallpaper design. We designed the paper from a vintage pagoda pattern. Our cutting edge friends at Port City Signs and Graphics will be printing it for us. Isn't it beautiful?We selected the wallpaper colors based on the current trim color. It looks to be Benjamin Moore "Stratton blue". We are planning on leaving the trim, which we love just the way it is.
Our plan includes an antique Oriental rug from the Gallery of Oriental Rugs. It has beautiful vibrant colors and a medallion to ground a glass and brass table -- which we will fill with flowers and blue/white Oriental jars and vases. We will pull in fun fabrics and accent some killer wing backs covered in linen. They are traditional with a twist. Literally. Don't you just love the lines? There is a pair of them and we think they will look great flanking the entry. Everyone needs an Oscar de la Renta for Century chair in their space. Isn't it perfection? This framed antique Chinese screen is made of silk. The detail is stunning and we hope to hang this in the space. We can't wait for you to see the finished product! bye bye birdie....
