Hanging Plates on the Wall

A meeting with a  client yesterday brought about a conversation about what to hang on the walls after her upcoming renovation. On this project we are creating a fresh take on the cottage style, where we are mixing clean lines with traditional details. I suggested to her to hang plates on the wall, especially by the dining table - a vintage idea that can be interpreted in so many ways, including by composition, colour, pattern and sizes of plates you use. She was intrigued. So after having a look around the vast world of Pinterest, here are some visuals I found to get the idea rolling.

Newly Reupholstered Chairs

My client showed me two chairs several weeks ago - they been handed down through the family to her and she wanted to keep them, however they needed serious repair and updating. There was sagging seats, no foam, old worn fabric, beaten timber - in general, they had been much loved over the years and were looking worse for wear. So last week, I happily delivered these newly refurbished chairs back to her house - she was delighted.

Drapery Details

My client had their new curtains and blinds installed this week. They looked great and I have shared a close up detail here.
The previous traditional net curtains were replaced with sheer roman blinds - which is a more contemporary and elegant solution, and they sit so well within the window frame. To bring some contrast and detailing to the room, navy drapes were installed with this beautifully detailed beaded ribbon on the leading edge. The sheer fabric and ribbon were paired together as they shared the diamond motif and the vertical direction. There are a few more details to go before finishing this room - however, this made a great start.
