A nice wide landing has endless possibilities. We chose to turn this into a cheerful reading nook. It's also a great place to daydream and gaze out the window overlooking the park.

LORRAINE G VALE, Allied ASID Hello-and thank you for your interest in this space. The previos light source was a recessed can. I had my electrician convert it to accept a pendant fixture. I do this wherever I can. It is more attractive, giving interest to the top of the stairs and lends a custom look. The fixture is from Currey, however, I believe it has been discontinued.

LORRAINE G VALE, Allied ASID selh05-so sorry for the long delay-I just received this notification! I have gone through all the invoices and did not come across this one. It was awhile ago, so it could very well be discontinued. Lorraine

Looking for Toile Fabric - What is your source for the toile pillow fabric? »
· Comment · 6 months ago
LORRAINE G VALE, Allied ASID As far as I can tell from this photo, all of the colors in your kitchen are in the warm, earthy tones. I would suggest enhancing the feeling of the warmth by adding browns, orange, golden yellows with your fabrics.
Hope this helped.

What is the floor stain? »
· Comment · 22 months ago
charlottemom Yes, please, please tell me the stain color on the floor. Also what type of wood is that on the floor? Is it red oak? How did they get the variation in the staining - through application or is it just the way the wood took the stain? I live in Charlotte. How far are you from Charlotte?
