Interior Design Musings

Plastered walls can soften a room, create an old-world appeal, add depth and texture to your walls without the use of wall-papers. If you love the sound of this gorgeous wall covering and you have a room that needs a little warming up, consider doing it yourself with American Clay Plaster. I love this website– it explains the eco-friendly materials that are used in their product and the look of each finish. Still not feeling confident? You can also purchase a video that will walk you through the process. Also- look for classes in your neighborhood. Sounds like a fun weekend project!

Cork is harvested without damaging trees and is therefore great for the environment. It is also great for your decor! Cork is better known as a great flooring material but it is also being made available as unique wall coverings and upholstery fabrics. A large tufted ottoman or unique chair can be made into an environmental friendly focal point by upholstering it with a soft, patterned cork. You can take pride in the fact that you are helping mother earth while you are helping create a warm and creative decor!

Stunning and straight from Mother Nature, these vessel sinks are sure to be the zen focal point of your guest or master bathroom! These radiant hand carved Granite Vessel Sinks have a stunning appeal and are right at home in modern design. To maximize the effect of your sculptured granite sink, plan on installing it on a simplistic and clean-lined cabinet. This will allow your new art piece to be displayed prominently without the competition of a fancy cabinet.
