The living room of Ali Wentworth and George Stephanopoulos' Washington D.C. home. The walls are painted Motley by C2 paint. The built-in bookshelves hold displays of ceramics, shells, and mercury glass. The cocktail table is a vintage army cot topped with glass, the cream-colored chair (near the fireplace) is by Swaim, and the Lee Industries sofas are covered in Millefoglie viscose blend velvet by Brunschwig & Fils. Wentworth used fabric dye to create the pattern on the wool rug.

I love the fresh feeling I get when I look at this pic. I almost feel like I could curl up on the lounger with a book and sit there for hours.
Check out the felt trim on the wall hanging.

Eco styled

I just love this idea! Container home - Here i come!

Battered old wood look - this is for tam ;)

firstly ensure the wood has been sanded down to al - natural, then apply first coat - use a different colour, I used steel grey.

once the paint has dried - apply vaseline to the area's where you would like the base colour to come through.

apply two coats of white or what ever you like on top of that and allow that to dry.

white the vaseline off, sand,hammer,scrape, take all your un wanted frustrations out on the piece and allow yourself to go wild

Here's my couch, I saved it, it was about to be dumped but i grabbed it before that could happen. I instantly fell in love with it! i love the simplicity, the art deco...I had the two div covered .... professionally, then ran out of money to do the single chairs. I was a little inspired the other day and stripped it down and used left over fabric. I'm impressed. i like. . . .just got to neaten up the base cushion ;) lol, excuse the patch, couldn't quite get the corner pulled tight enough.

I've fallen in love with things that have stories behind them. I just love the old, I love the stories behind everything. Everything just feels more alive, there's more energy. When I find an old piece of furniture these days i just want to revive it, give it life - i love it!
