Client Project: Blast From the Past

While TCI is whipping out new projects right and left, we love to look back in the play book for past projects that still inspire and intrigue us.

One of those was this wonderful client's Starwood home in Frisco.

We completed many rooms in their home, but one of the most unique pieces is this round 3 sided ottoman in the foyer of this gorgeous home

With a button tufted 3 sided back, and a subtle tone on tone gray fabric on the back and soft gray velvet on the seat, it turned out perfect in every way.

One of the best parts that makes a big difference is the large "button" on top of the 3 sided back.

Getting the fabric pattern JUST RIGHT took some detailed planning that paid off in the end for a stunning result.

What a perfect entrance to this amazing home!

Many thanks to this wonderful long time client.

Kick your coffee table to the CURB.

Are you looking for a more versatile piece for your living room centerpiece??

These days we go back and forth between casegood coffee tables and fabric ottomans.

And many times it is a complete personal preference!

Here are a few top reasons why you might

fall in LOVE with an ottoman.

1. Soft and Comfortable. Great to prop your feet up after a long day

2. It's kid and pet friendly! With rounded, padded corners and a soft top, children don't hit their head and the dogs thinks they earned a new seat in the house!

link

3. Adds a pop of pattern and color to your space. Many times it brings

the whole color scheme together!

4. It can double as a coffee table.... by adding a decorative tray for a hard surface

5. It helps to break up the wood tones around the room!

Fabric always brings a softer appearance.

Sneak peek of a NEW TCI project we are featuring later in the week!!

So what do you LOVE?

A Bench and Table all in one: The Couef!

To: Traci's Cell Phone

From: Candice the Client

Courtney and I couldn't help laughing at our client's text

message...she thought it was funny too... probably

because she knew that her BBQ sauce garnished ottoman

getting reupholstered, but hopefully her son is done

finger painting on furniture!

I teased her that we are going to add permanent

plastic to all her new furniture on the way,

and if she doesn't go for that...

Fiberseal to the rescue!

90% of the time, we specify a luxurious type vinyl for

cocktail ottoman tops when we are designing with

little ones in mind. It's indestructible.

Speaking of ottomans- take a look at one of our

new lines found in High Point...

I dig this for the practicality and it's "cuteness"

Check it out.. it has a hidden pull out table-

PERFECT for a ~~cocktail~~ beverage to sit.

From benches and ottomans...

To bar stools and counter stools

(my fav)....

To tables... great for space concerns and serving-

Be the first to add a Couef to your room!

Surrounded by Sushi!

Yes, that is a sushi inspired set of ottomans complete with strips of cucumber

in the middle and a removable seaweed wrap.

So cute and versatile... and creative to boot.

I ran into this young designer at Vegas Market and it is

quite a concept she has "rolled" out... ha:).

In turn, I was craving sushi which lead me first to

Tao in Vegas

and then to

Uchiko in Austin-

Girls weekend to celebrate Avery's birthday and visit with Ashley

(yes, I had the hammer out within 15 minutes of arriving

so I could fix the crooked full length mirror in her bedroom- sigh).

We ate Pork Belly... ~~yummy~~ interesting

and grilled our flank steak on a hot rock...

lots of giggles at our table!

Then we were off to Wicked!

If you do not know my obsession with Wicked,

and here:)

I've seen it 5 times in the last two years...

(4 times in one year.. yikes)

London, San Fran, Dallas, New York and Austin.

(I'd like to get one more in this year:)

Back to Sushistyle which is the name of Mimi's company...

If you are "craving" something different in your space,

maybe this is the whimsy you've been looking for!

Until next time,

Back from Vegas!

As a national board member of the Interior Design Society,
I fulfilled my role as a speaker on a panel during the Leadership conference,
sat in a whole lot of meetings,
attended great seminars,
watched our local chapter win two prestigious awards,
gambled:),
and shopped Las Vegas Market- sigh.

I'm tired but it was well worth it!

Here's a quick trend from Vegas Market...
