If you are like me, you love textiles of all shapes, sizes and texture. Perhaps, like me, you see textiles, such as table linens, used in different, if not odd, ways. If not, here are some ideas that may you go “ah” or maybe “huh?!?”
Recently I met with a young Washington DC professional who loves abstract art and wanted it translated into decor. She inspired me. I had a limited budget. What to do?
Sometimes it is easy for me to know exactly what to get and where I could get it.
In this case, I needed to think beyond common uses for common items. Once I got in that frame of mind, and of course, finding three beautiful table runners, the creativity monster took over.
Three dimensional wall art was born. Using those three runners and tying painted willow branches on them was a simple task that created a great focal point in the room.
I couldn’t stop myself!
I also found two table mats made of capiz shells, a couple of long shelves, and some accessories and mixed them in to a wall display in her dining room.
What do you think?
Happy Decorating! Kate
