Not so very long ago, a conversation took place.
Annie: So. Darling. About the loveseat situation in the living room.
John (not looking up from newspaper): Hmmm?
A: The loveseat situation. Remember? The small sofa? From my parents?
...Janet! In response to our request for child-, pet-, and slob-proof solutions, she offered this:
Debbie Wiener's Slobproof I found a faux shearling fabric (shearling fleece texure on one side and faux suede on the other) that matched my sofa color...
The love affair started before the party at Timothy Paul Bedding + Home last week (My Notting Hill gave it a mention on Monday...)
The party was given by Sferra - and it was tons of fun - but Timothy Paul has always been my go-to bedding store for John Robshaw. So it's understandable that I would be thinking of Mr. Robshaw even as I cavorted among someone else's sheets.
Oooh - racy!
It's here! The November issue of Real Simple magazine has hit the newsstands.
Bossy color was delighted to provide her thoughts on jewel tones in decorating - a growing trend.
Having just painted the infamous living room a TOPAZ YELLOW (7th time's a charm), we found the timing of the article oddly appropriate.
One of bossy color 's favorite clients happens to be named Glynnie.
As you can see, Glynnie is a dog. So technically, she BELONGS to our clients.
But in creating a decorating action plan for their living room, it's actually Glynnie who's calling the shots.
Dear Bossy Color, aka Annie :) -
I am expecting baby #2 in five weeks - a boy! - and am in the process of setting up his nursery. But I am completely stumped about what color to paint the room.
I did remember your advice to start with the rug, and found one that I love!
Well! How exciting to be the primary source of info. for Apartment Therapy's post yesterday about seeking affordable design help!
