:Finding the Perfect Accessory(ies):

Still perusing design elements for the bachelor. He alerted me yesterday that the bench I decided on for his foyer arrived, and the pillows are being delivered today! I'll be finishing up this particular section of his home on Thursday (for now, anyway, since he's decided to wait on painting and a chandelier for the entry way. *sad face*) I think once the wall is covered in whatever material/medium we decide on and a new chande makes its way to the ceiling, the space will look much warmer. I took a little trip to Home Goods yesterday and found an array of items that we could use in his space based on his affinity for earth tones, Buddha, wooden elements and actual dark wood furniture. I playfully refer to him as "the Zen master".

I was a fan of the top part of this table, but the bottom looked a little cheap to me.

WOMP!

I suggested some sort of metal art for the wall that accompanies the bachelor's staircase.

I don't think this is it, though.

This piece had the multi-dimensional factor I was seeking for the art,

but wasn't necessarily the right style.

This Buddha complements nothing in the bachelor's home.

Moving right along...

When I forwarded him this picture, he commented that this Buddha was "pimped".

I concur. :-)

This one made me chuckle.

How can you say no to a rotund-belly Buddha?

In unrelated Operation Bachelor news, I liked this chair...found it interesting and such...

but the tone/material gave me the willies. It has an eerie aspect about it 

that makes it seem as though it belongs at the Cryptkeeper's house.

Or in Morticia Adams' budoir at the vanity table...

:Designing Woman:

My weekend consisted of additional shopping for this client's home on Sunday. WHEEEE!! 

Some of the furniture had arrived when I visited his abode, as well.

Here are a few items I considered for him on the shopping trip...

I had mentioned metal wall art to him, and though this is for housing votive candles,

 it's somewhat along the lines of what I was thinking, but I want more color.

Interesting, I do say. I likey.

Art for the stairwell wall? Love the multi-dimensionality.

Went to Bo Concept to pick up an objet for the entry console in the bachelor's foyer.

This spread awaited me on their table and though I didn't indulge...

I must concur...THIS is the way you treat a customer!

:Current Design Project:

Before shots from one of my current design projects... I'm currently working on the foyer, but waiting for some larger furniture items to arrive. The owner doesn't want to paint right now, but once he does, it's going down! Basement. I'm also trying to encourage him to look into fabric wallcoverings. I think they'd be a lovely touch for the entryway.
Go big or go home, right!?

Needs items for door-flanking. ASAP.

Perfect little corner for a seating/utility bench.

I love the sheen on the wooden floors, lol. Pretty!

Door from a cabinet we chose. It's divinely delicious!

Another area I'll be adding more of the Exquisite Interiors touch to soon...

Can't wait to pick out new chandeliers for the space! Stay Tuned.

Ikat print pillow I picked out at Z Gallerie. Sale find! I originally chose for the foyer,

but I liked the look of it on this chair in my client's living room...another area I'll

be working on shortly.
