Dear Shay,

I love your GMT segments and I am using Jim Morgan from IBB to recover a chair and ottoman for me. I have a very large brass foyer chandelier, I once heard you say that brass can be updated..do you have a source for that?

I would be so grateful,

-Debbie C.

Dear Debbie,

I have a fabulous artist that I use all of the time.  She updated two light fixtures in my house for me.  Her name is Kris Perry.  I have some of her other work posted here. She will need to take a look at it & let you know what can be done.  Thank you so much for your question & Happy Decorating!

Yellow is so energizing & happy that I’m just bursting while writing this post.  Doesn’t yellow make you happy just thinking about it?  Think sunflowers, mimosas, baby chickies, a warm sunny day…

Yellow can do so much for the soul and with hundreds of variations of the shade, it can be worked into just about any home.  My bedroom growing up as a kid was yellow, blue & white.  I LOVED it!  My room was always so bright & happy.  Because of it’s balancing and harmonious properties, yellow can be combined with so many colors to make a lovely color palette.  (blue & yellow, orange & yellow, green & yellow, black & yellow, chocolate brown & yellow, the possibilities are endless)

You may remember, back in December, that Pantone announced Mimosa (a warm sexy shade of yellow) as the color of the year for 2009.

Open your eyes & you’ll notice that yellow is just about everywhere these days.  Kate Hudson is wearing a fun, flirty yellow dress on the February cover of Elle.  Michelle Obama wowed crowds in a stunning Isabel Toledo “lemongrass” yellow suit for the Inauguration yesterday.

As home fashions often mirror runway fashions, yellow is popping up in furnishings and fabrics all over the world.  On a recent fabric hunting spree, I came across a wide range of gorgeous yellow fabrics.  From traditional styles to contemporary, the cheery color is making a big impact.

So, cheers to Pantone for choosing such a celebratory color like Mimosa for the color of the year.  Now, pop the bubbly & go make your home happy!

No, it’s not 5:00 and time for cocktail hour.  Sigh.  However, when it is… you better have this to set your drink on!  This beautifully finished round cocktail table by Hickory Chair is where form meets function.  The sleek base doubles as storage for your magazines or coffee table books.  Looking to update your look into today’s time & fashions?  Try this on for some style.

Available at IBB Design Furniture Showroom.

We’re bringing sexy back!  Curved sofas have been around for ages, but they’re rapidly growing more & more popular.  Rounded or curved sofas are not necessarily a new thing, but some manufacturer’s are having lots of fun vamping up this frame style.  The great thing about a curved or rounded sofa is that it can easily “float” in a room.  Most rounded sofas are interesting & pretty to look at from the back as well as the front, so you don’t have to back it up to a wall or window.  These frame styles are ideal for an open concept floor plan.  Curved sofas can fit well into just about any room.  They fit nicely in bay windows if you want to use a small scale sofa for a sitting area in a master bedroom.  Just remember to consider size & scale.  Go ahead, make your house feel sexy!  Get yourself a sofa with some curves
