Design + Mixr

What a busy weekend it was and it looks as if things are not going to slow down this week!  Over the weekend I must have made over 20 different stops from returning books to the library to having my back adjusted at Chiropractor.  I even stopped at a new flooring shop to check out what they had to offer.  I walked out with 3 boards of samples to take home and evaluate (2 from Shaw and 1 from Mohawk).  All of the samples were commercial carpets in various colors and patterns.  I gravitated to one sample that is neutral in color with lots of cream and grays.  But what’s interesting about this looped carpet is that it’s quite dimensional meaning that the overall look should have lots of texture – not what I would expect out of a commercial carpet.  Of course it was the most expensive one out of the samples I was previewing.  I asked if anything could be done to lower the price and it appears that it will be considered (hey, why not ask.  I have a budget to follow).  He is coming to my house tomorrow for a measurement and to discuss pricing.

This morning, I came came across Designers Guild Tricia Guild’s home.  It just reminds me that I really want to keep the furniture and accessories bright and colorful in my basement…

What awesome chairs above!  Love the orange and green citrus mix.
