Here is the finished living room. The sofa is a sage green velvet sectional that took 3 months to come in from Pottery Barn. It is VERY COMFY and BIG.
I chose a palette of blues, greens, and purples. The purple bergere chairs and the drapes are different hues.

Rosy at Best for Less made the luscious drapes and throw pillows.

Here are some perfectly adequate rabbit pillows for about $350 each. Those were some big bunnies. Probably too big for the stew pot in "Fatal Attraction".
....but check out my chinchilla(yes, real fur!) pillows. With these you don't need a pet. I bought the fur piece for $45, and had the pillows made by Rosy at Draperies For Less for $45 a piece. That's just $60 for a "pillow pet".
I am an interior decorator with 30 years of experience decorating for one remarkable client. She is flexible,patient,appreciative,funny, charming.... the perfect client really... ME. I have absolutely NO training in decorating. NONE. Now, design is a different story. I began that at age 12. My sister and I would spy some tasty fabric remnants,choose twirly skirt dress patterns, and Mother would make them. We always added our own flourishes and design inspirations. In high school, Mother would never let the pesky problem of not having enough material stop her. She would just raise a hem or lower a neckline or both. My sister and I were very popular.
But I digress. This blog will be about my first experience as a professional decorator. Recently, my friend Donna hired me to rescue her from overwhelming clutter and her best intentions. This blog is about that adventure.
My hope is that you will express your ideas and opinions on the blog. If you've got a better idea, tell me about it. Don't like it? Let me hear. Love it? Email it to friends!
