I’ve eagerly been anticipating the new redesigned website for Brocade Home. Quite some time has passed and I’ve yet to receive a current catalog nor access to their website. After continually checking back, it’s still noted that they are undergoing a redesign for their website. Fortunately, I’ve discovered they’ve created a blog. It features some posts on architecture and fashion. Looking forward to seeing the new website!

Here are some amazing new rug designs from the “guest designers” who are designing rugs for Patterson, Flynn & Martin.

Kelly Wearstler
Inspired by memorable moments in her life, Kelly’s designs spark a delightfully bold sensibility and inventive sophistication:

David Kleinberg
With a modern, understated sophistication, David’s designs have incorporated two textures, triple weave and hand-knotted Tibetan for an alluring quality.

Paule Marrot
A legendary 20th century designer, Paule’s legacy of timeless style lives on in this sumptuous collection.

Matthew Patrick Smyth

Drawing inspiration from fine furnishings, antique textiles and ornate iron work, Matthew’s designs are the epitome of classic elegance.

Thought I’d share some beautiful new fabric collections from “Classic Cloth” (a ‘to the trade’ fabric manufacture).

Each collection has a story:

As I was flipping thru the most recent Metropolitan Home magazine, I came across this really innovative way to create a “wine cellar” – a niche under the stairs of a residential project enclosed by glass. The design is very architectural. What a great use of space, too! It inspires me to be more creative with areas to create wine storage. I’ve seen some great ideas in restaurants, but this really makes sense of space in a residential project. The picture is featured in the October 2008 issue.
