Dramatic yet peaceful at the same time, this unique rug immediately commands attention with its ombre border created by subtle stripes that blend from ivory to an array of grays and black. Designed in alternating pin-stripes of handspun, repurposed sari silk and tufted wool then subtly carved to create a wonderfully textural, ribbed effect. Company C LLC

Enclosed dining room - transitional light wood floor and gray floor enclosed dining room idea with white walls, a standard fireplace and a stone fireplace

This client in Maple wanted a strong impact of lighting, so instead of the usual garden fixture shapes used wide-effect up-lights to create shadow shapes with real "pop". We alternated the wide up-lights with solid copper half-moon sconces on the fence, to wash the patio with lighting to remove trip hazards and add texture. An important element of contemporary back yard lighting design is to light seating areas obliquely, to avoid feeling "on display" while dining outdoors among tall adjacent homes.
