As a follow-up to the post I did yesterday, this is a picture of my desk with my inspiration samples for a design scheme I am putting together for a Living Room, Dining Room and Powder Room. The Fornasetti (Riflesso) wallpaper bottom right and bottom left Fornasetti (Tema) are the starting points for my inspiration. Adjoing walls to the Tema will be papered Phillip Jefferies Manila Hemp color Elephant.

5 Interior Design Blogs We Couldn't Live Without This cleanly designed and beautifully photographed blog is the creation of a generous interior designer. Vancouver based Patricia Gray shares her keen eye for style, takes us on trips around the world and points out the resources and materials that she enjoys using on a job. The later is particularly useful for interior designers. It's great to see a master designer work, to look at her resources as they appear in finished spaces, and get an analysis of why and how they function beautifully. You also get the bonus of a well-trained feng shui expert, layered on top of this interior designer, and you can better understand why Patricia's interiors exude calm, serenity, and strong flow.
Patricia Gray is an interior designer par excellence with a pedigree that would wow anyone. Her innovative design work has been featured all over the world, and in many different publications (including the renowned Architectural Digest). Patricia's warm style and originality have helped skyrocket her to the top of the interior design world, and her blog reflects this. Design 55 UK

Patricia, you give us aspects of the world that we might never see; ideas to inspire us, pictures that move us emotionally, a view to a kinder, more artistic world that lies within our reach. This must take time and energy, and I am most thankful for your blog. J Marie Goodwin Vancouver
You have one very nice blog bravo !!!

Beautiful images! How is it you office looks so incredibly neat? :) I had heard you won those lamps very nice. The teacup next to your computer.... very pretty.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I have seen of your home, it is so thoughtfully pulled together -- I love what you've shown us so far and hope you will continue to give us glimpses of your own abode, where your heart is!
ReplyDeleteOh, and please show us this finished project -- the elements shown are just stunning together ~ especially like the leafed ceiling!
ReplyDeleteHi Patricia
ReplyDeleteAre you papering or painting the powder room? I love the palette you've chosen, rich yet understated. I was just curious which rooms get the papers.
Lovely stuff.
The above post was mine but my seven year old was signed into his blog account (the kid) in case that seemed like an odd question from a child into legos.
ReplyDeletethanks
Hi again
ReplyDeleteIs there a reason you wouldn't just silver leaf the ceiling as opposed to papering? Is papering just much easier, more or less expensive? I had seen sites showing how to gild ceilings (and selling the products)
Hi Sara
ReplyDeleteSilver Leaf wallpaper is just another alternative to hand leafing.
Hi Louise
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments. I am glad that you like the leafed ceiling.
Hi Cemaya
ReplyDeleteMy office goes from utter chaos to neat and orderly...depending where my mind is. The creative process does not alway follow a neat path. The cup and saucer is Hermes and I bought it for myself for a Xmas present.
Hi Patricia,
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Yes, please do tell where the Fornasetti paper is going. Is it a paper paper or vinyl?
Hi Lisa
ReplyDeletethe Fornasetti Tema is going in a stair landing and the Riflesso is going in the Powder Room.
OOOoooo, what fun to be working on this project! And your desk is perfect. Mine is never so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYour desk is Fab Patricia! I love Fornasetti and silver leaf too!
ReplyDeleteYour desk looks fabulous . I love this yellow flowers ( I don't know the name in english) You know my passion for fornasetti , can't with the end of this surrealist work
ReplyDeleteHi Patricia,
