Blinds and curtains. - I have a small knotty pine living room..I wanted to put a bold roman blind (burgandy with big tan flowers and olive green stems) on the window, but now I am not sure if I should put a simple curtain with it as well. »
For the master bedroom, Donnelly played with textures and patterns to create dramatic but cozy window treatments. "The loden green wool sateen has just a bit of sheen paired with finely striped textured fabric of the Roman shades. The lambrequins have inverted pleats, a detail I used to use in fashion design, and I love how the space is a comforting cocoon-like retreat."
The pale beige cotton sateen bedding with an acanthus damask pattern is from Yves Delorme, while the frosted glass table lamps are from BAE in San Francisco.
Harmonize with the decor. Lindy Donnelly selected this painting for its moody, atmospheric feeling. "The sky seems to be clearing and opening up after a storm," she says. "And the colors seemed to harmonize with the furnishings almost coincidentally. The deep olive and brown tones blend with the curtains and the rich wood stain. Even the swirling clouds somewhat mimic the acanthus leaf pattern in the damask bedding."
