Designing your home around the things you love part III

We all enjoy being surrounded by beautiful things, displaying our favorite keepsakes and that feeling of comfort that being "home" creates. We also want our guests to feel this warmth and welcoming comfort, to know that they can curl up on the sofa or get cozy in any chair. To us, that is the true meaning of style. Designers will be the first to say that it is much more difficult to start a design project from scratch. Our best work is a combination of finding what you love and using what we know to create your perfect room. A treasured piece of art, a piece of furniture or a rug are more obvious starting points when beginning a decorating project. But don't overlook your fabulous collection of glassware or china, or even a sample of fabric or wallcovering. The important thing here is identifying what it is about this project or collection that pleases you. Is it the color? The shape? Or is it the era or style that it reflects? Once identified you can begin to build on those characteristics in your interiors.
