Selecting the RIGHT paint color

Did you know that 40% of the paint sold in the United States is to correct PREVIOUS color mistakes? Yep. It’s true. A common error people make is selecting the paint color first and then making decisions about the remainder of the room. Although I ALWAYS recommend paint color last, this isn’t always possible. For […]

Equestrian Style Chair in Vermont

My husband and I are settling in to watch the 140th Kentucky Derby race on TV and I thought I’d share a chair that would be PERFECT for a room with a Ralph Lauren feel.   Equestrian details dovetail with Vermont mountain decor very well. This chair comes in FIRST PLACE.  My friend and fellow […]

A kitchen renovation ends with a new living room

I just returned from an installation at a client’s home.  Late last fall they decided to renovate their kitchen.  They have a busy household and their dated kitchen was no no longer serving their needs.  So, they gutted it and added a large island which serves as a spot for informal dining, homework and a […]

Decorating with buffalo check part 2

Here are some more great buffalo check images. As I mentioned in my last post, this large check can be used in a variety of ways – window treatments, upholstery and even wall-coverings. How about using it as a vanity or sink skirt?  Do you see the lucite chair by the vanity?  You know I LOVE […]

Decorating with buffalo check

I love using a large buffalo check  to infuse a room with casual charm.  I’ve seen it a bit more lately so I think it may be having a renaissance.  Hooray!  For those of you who think buffalo check only comes in ‘Elmer Fudd red’, keep reading. The pattern is multi-functional and it can be used for drapery, […]

What to look for in a quality sofa

Recently I was helping a client select furniture and was explaining the importance of construction and she turned to me and said “You know, that’s what no one talks about anymore…..quality.” It’s true, we’re bombarded with low prices and sales pitches but quality is paramount.  It means we’ll buy less, throw away less and be […]

Slipcover Tips

One of this week’s Channel 3 (WCAX) Redecorating with Ruxana segments,  is how to pet-proof a room.  For dog-lovers like me, dog hair in the home is a fact of life.    A great solution to protect your furnishings from four (or two legged) children is to utilize slipcovers.   I carry an amazing line of furniture by Miles Talbott called Washable […]

And the winner is…..

Pantone announced that Tangerine Tango (17-1463) is the 2012 color of the year.  I noticed the color popping up the past few months so I’m not surprised. I love the black trim they used to define the walls.   A simple way to incorporate a splash of color.  Plus, I LOVE the oil paintings of the pooch.   Very classic. Think Tangerine Tango is […]

Decorating with Lucite

On a vacation to Chile and Argentina earlier this year, my husband and I stayed a few nights in a fabulous hotel in Santiago.  It was a contemporary ‘boutique hotel’ and the room featured a living room, a full kitchen and a bedroom. The bedroom overlooked a central courtyard and although it was a small […]
