three quick ways to create impact with stripes - San Francisco Victorian House Interior - House Beautiful

Ken Fulk Victorian Home Decor - San Francisco Victorian House Interior - House Beautiful:

Ken Fulk Victorian Home Decor "three quick ways to create impact with stripes
1. Paint a wall in bold horizontal stripes.
2. Paper one wall in a pinstripe. It adds depth and texture.
3. Bring a staircase alive--zebra stripes on a stair are nature's best pattern."

And that fireplace!

Crocodile wallpaper from Ralph Lauren. It looks great, that texture, and it's fun. The client didn't know I was going to do that, and she might have been hesitant if I'd said, 'Hey, I'm going to put black croc all over your fireplace!' I saved it for the big reveal.

White Coastal Love — A Beach Cottage:

"Everything I found with a pattern was a large pattern, I am guessing large, geometric kinda patterns are trendy right now…if you want a large black based pattern on a white background in a curtain, email me, I tell you what I could write a book on where to find them actually…as you can imagine a big old black print was not what I was after"

Geometric pattern play: Schumacher fabrics ! Design Manifest

Design Manifest: pattern play:

"I love this pink-orange color combo so much it makes me reconsider my whole apartment's color scheme. Pink and orange have such a happy quality to them, yet we wanted this mix to be sophisticated instead of youthful. I'm a fan of a big bold pattern paired with a small geometric and some solids. It's feeling a little bit boho and a little bit preppy... just the way I like it :)

Since my favorite fabric, Schumacher's Samarakand Ikat is so darn expensive, I balanced it out by purchasing the solids for cheap at Jomar Fabrics. The geometric is Betwixt by Schumacher.

TIP- when mixing solids, pair different textures. I did a velvet and a poly-cotton blend with a nice sheen."

Lead Contamination Found in Ceramic Pottery - NYTimes.com:

"Dr. O’Malley wondered if the same held true with the pottery in Philadelphia’s Chinatown.

The answer, he and a group of researchers has found, is yes.

Moire Pattern fabric mystery - who made this #Wallpaper?

An Aesthete's Lament: 

Does anybody out there have any idea what company manufactured this pretty stuff?

Per the baroness's idiosyncratic directive, the graphic black-and-silver fabric, which has a subtle moiré pattern worked into the background, was used on the reverse. She preferred that side's more subtle, silver-and-black colorway (see below).

A woven fabric used in the London flat of Pauline de Rothschild. Private collection.
