We built our house 22 years ago. I have been a custom window treatment professional for 16 years. I have fabricated lots of draperies, valance and Roman shades, and, rather considered pillows to be an afterthought. Not anymore! after two decades of kids, dogs and elderly parents our decor was looking a little shabby. We are slowly updated and have started with our family room, which needed new furniture. We purchased vintage pieces ad a Goodwill Super Store and then, with the help of my friend, Lynda Reid, of Lynda Reid Designs, chose fabrics from which I made piilows. Most of the fabrics are Vervain and I just love them/

We are back at our Floyds Fork Patio Home to share the Foyer, Study and Guest Bathroom with you. As you enter the home, there is a long hallway leading into the open living area. This long slim console table was perfect for the Entry. The shelves provide an opportunity to display favorite keepsakes. For the Study, we selected an oversized settee that had a twin mattress for the seat cushion for afternoon naps or small overnight guests. We played up the symmetry with matching metal tulip tables topped with super tall mid-century lamps. I love the fun zebra fabric we used on the window treatment. All of our neutral fabrics work perfectly with the homeowners’ existing rug. The custom shower curtain in the Guest Bathroom ties all of the finishes together and supports our overall color palette. Since space is a premium in most patio homes, it is important to be mindful with your furniture selections. Pick pieces that will give you the biggest bang for your buck – a console table with shelves or a dual function sofa. Enjoy!
