The Lady In GREEN
Welcome to one of my client's home.  She is darling, fabulous, funny, cute, hilarious, sweet, charming, special and a lover of green from A to Z.  She was gracious enough to allow me to share some images of her beautiful home.  Enjoy!Her Living Room has a beautiful painted finish on the walls.  The windows are draped in the most charming Cowtan & Tout fabric there is on the planet.  It makes you happy every time you look at it.  The sofa was custom made in Memphis with a Jane Shelton velvet.  Multiple chairs and loveseat are upholstered in an Elitis fabric.  And the topper is the Old World Weavers leopard throw and pillows.This collection of porcelain was my client's mothers.  She loves them and we found a beautiful painted piece to display each and every one.  Very special.Beautiful Pam Wagner painting from David Lusk Gallery here in Memphis.  David is a great friend and an even better art dealer.  Go see him when you need something special to grace your walls.The Dining Room has beautiful Scalamandre silk and trim adorning the windows.I found these shutters in Atlanta at Ainsworth-Noah several years ago.  There were 30 pair I think total.  I have a pair in my Library and several clients have them.  They have the most beautiful patina ever!Travers silk and Scalamandre trim on Host and Hostess chairs in the Dining Room.Beautiful painted finish on the chairs by Sissy Nickels and Scalamandre velvet on seats.Lapchi rug on Dining Room floor.  Such a sunny, special room.Another awesome painting from David Lusk.  Anne Siems is the artist.  Love this painting.  The detail is mind-boggling.  It's named "Boy with Pug".  My client has a Pug, a French Bulldog and a Boston Terrier.  They keep her home happy and full of action.Master Bedroom is all about green as well.  Chair fabric is Clarence House.Beautiful Leontine Linens on the bed.  They are my favorite linens to use EVER!  Every client who has them (which is a lot) loves them and just keeps ordering more and more.  Fabulous sheets,  coverlets, quilts, towels, napkins, placemats.  They have all of your linen needs covered literally.My client's art collection is wonderful.  This painting is in the Master Bedroom.  L Ross Gallery in Memphis has a great selection.  The artist is Jeni Stallings.Beautiful Old World Weavers toile adorns the windows and skirted table.  Such a pretty electric green makes this room so happy and bright.
