Know The Trends, Jill Shares All – A Blog Series – Small Tables

As many of you know, I LOVE great details in a space.  They make it or break it.  Leave a room standard and “done a million times” or take it to a level that makes it memorable and fabulous.  One way to do that?  I give you the small, interesting table.

Great curvy legs in a sexy color.

Not all tables are created equal. This one is NOT wobbly!

Love the inlay. Notice too, the quatrefoil again.

Fabulous feet (not everyone can say that!)

Crowd of three. More striking to see.

Make it fab!

Quatrefoils are getting big this year as well (the four-leaf clover shape).

Looks crazy, but solid little table!

Flexability...

Fantastic little table.

PINK, More Than You Saw In The Kansas City Star

Amazing PINK!

It is vibrant.  It relaxes you when you first see it, then after a long time in it, it can rev you up!  That is why sports teams paint it in their opponents locker rooms!  It was once the color for baby boys before baby blue came along.  It is flattering to all skin types and the child of red…another fabulous color!

Find out even more and read the article with our interview in The Kansas City Star.

Pink is the place to be! Jill Tran Interior Design

This client loved pink and yellow, but wanted elegance... Jill Tran Interior Design

This darling baby's room I designed for a fabulous client that loves pink, black and white. Since pink is such a wonderful baby color, the chair is wonderful! Jill Tran Interior Design

The photo from the KC Star article. Yes, pink at the movies! A fun and easy to enjoy space. Jill Tran Interior Design

Get Book Smart: How To Display Books – III of III

We all have them.  They’re heavy, all different sizes, colors, even shapes.  For the avid reader, we want to be sure and display them as a part of our home.  They are our friends who remind us who we have met in stories, who we want to be and what we know.  They are in a sense, who we are, so they should be a part of our space, too.  They are our books.

While the digital age is only getting more sophisticated, there is solace in our reading the original copy…holding the pages in our hands on a comfortable sofa with good lighting, enjoying, even noticing the faint essence of the pages.  How do we organize our paper friends in a way that allows us to enjoy their lines?  Look on…

• Don’t overlook the importance of use.  A benefit of stacking horizontally then placing the books on their end is they are easier to retrieve when the mood arises.

• Recover with generously decorated paper, wallpaper or wrapping paper.  Fur?  Leather?

• Dare I suggest spray painting?

• For books you are less fond of, remove the outer cover for texture and uniformity.

• Mix them amongst clever and inviting objects for even more interest and sophistication

• Wrap the with twine

• Bind them with buckles

• Create a color theme

• Lay them on a table

• Open them
