Plump and fluff is pretty ... :):) lumpies are only excuses ...

... you ever wondered why your lovely cushion ... your gorgeous sofa ... and your stunning bed you just bought... never look as pretty in your house as they looked in the store ... well! some times ... the answer is as simple as the lumpy cushions ... FLUFF them up ... :)

... somehow they do work magic ... a lot many believe that the fluff is just the stuff of new look and then its all about lumpy looking thingies ... infact ... it shouldn't have to be that way ... a regular fluffing up of your cushions will keep them looking nice and perky...

... I love the bright and cheerful ( very infectious) ... cushions I see over at the blog ... Ada and Darcy ... its fun to just pop over to their blog and wonder about any new additions to their cushions ...

ada and darcy

... and its not just the bright and colorful fabrics ... but reading their blog ... I am completely sold to the idea of mix match cushions ... and I mean completely ... :)

So honestly, unless there's a particular look you are going for (excuse me???... ) .... there are no two ways about it ... your furniture either does not need cushions ... and if it does ... then cushions are meant to be plump and fluffy ... or its that time ... when you go chuck-chuck and then go shopping for some pretty new ones... for your gorgeous home ... :)

... there I said it ... :)... incase you couldn't quite figure out what was missing in your home ... its just that good ol' plump and fluff ... and just in case you still have some questions bothering you ... leave me your thoughts in the comment section or feel free to e-mail me ... and since you are stepping out to get some newbies ... pick up a few extras ... oh! yes ... they always come handy ...:):)

Florence de Dampierre on Walls

I just finished reading Florence de Dampierre's latest book, Walls: The Best of Decorative Treatments, in anticipation of her lecture next Thursday at the Atlanta Decorators Show House. Unfortunately, I just realized that I won't be able to attend as I'll be getting things together for a Derby Party that evening. (Those of you who follow me on Twitter know that I've been worrying about how to attain the proper shade of green for the Benedictine Dip.) But, all is not lost because I do have Florence's book, and let me tell you, it's really quite good.

Walls covers the history of decorative wall treatments like wallpaper, stencils, wood panels, and murals. I know that to some people, the word history is enough to make them run for the hills, but please don't let that deter anyone from reading this book. While the text is really very interesting, I think that what truly makes this book a keeper are the beautiful photos by Tim Street-Porter, Pieter Estersohn, and other photographers. There are images of historical rooms with all kinds of stunning wall treatments (think Caramoor, Beauport, and Schonbrunn) as well as contemporary work by the likes of de Dampierre, Annie Kelly, and Alberto Pinto. Just take a look at the photos below and I think that you might agree.

Florence's lecture will take place at the Atlanta Decorators Show House on Thursday, May 5 at 4:00pm. For more information, click here.

Pierre Frey and Deyrolle

So, no radishes in the bunch, but I am still excited about Pierre Frey's new collaboration with Deyrolle, the renowned French house known for its taxidermy and other natural curiosities. Come September, Pierre Frey will debut a new line of cotton chintz fabrics printed with three of Deyrolle's classic botanical plates: Arboretum, Prairie, and Verger. I'm completely charmed by Arboretum and have got to figure out where I might use it. At least I have a few months to mull it over before the U.S. debut.

For more information, visit Pierre Frey's website.
