April Showers Bring May Flowers

When I think of beautiful blooms on the wall, I conjure up the images of the exquisite rich hand painted  wallcoverings from de Gournay. Some of our favorite designers such as Miles Redd, Amanda Nisbet and Kelly Wearstler have all used de Gournay. My favorite floral design is their Earlham design, which was also used in the jewelry department at Bergdorf Goodman. Hope these beautiful blooming walls get you in the May spirit! Can you believe its May already?

Colorful Home Offices for the Dreary Tax Day!

Hopefully by now you have filed your taxes but if not, you have a few more hours. What better way to bring in the dreary tax day than with colorful home offices! Would having one of these offices inspire you to be more organized, get more work done? Which one is your favorite?
