A Visit to Raoul Showrrom

(Juxtaposition Home)


I'm giving up on being consistent with blogging...

Hope you don't mind, but its the season of my life. 

I've been working and taking my son to doctors appointments..I also celebrated a wedding anniversary...


I met my husband when I was 18 years old...shoot, we've been married as long as the hills are old!


My son is doing better and improving all the time. He will need another surgery on his arm and we will be seeing the doctor in Sept or Oct. 



Here are some of the things I've been up to...



I'm looking for two new chairs for my living room. The two I have are about 25 years old and are looking there age. The sofa in my living room is ivory. I thought this time I would mix it up and use two different fabrics. A solid ivory on the front and a blue fabric on the back.








I love this look from Patina Rentals. I showed it in another post here.











I'm using a French Bergere chair and I don't want it to look to serious. I like my home to be a little playful.

I went to Santa Barbara and visited Raoul Fabrics Showroom. They had these lovely hand dyed table linens from Africa that I love. They are not cheap, but they are gorgeous!









They make beautiful pillows...








All of their fabrics are hand blocked and beautiful.
































They also had these cute and summery purses!











I went to a stone yard with a client and we bought this Quartzite for her kitchen counter tops.

 Boy, I really love the look of Quartzite stone.  

My favorite is Marble, but I'm not one that wants to worry about upkeep..it would drive me crazy! 

I'll share with you some of the other details about her kitchen another time...still working on some of the design plans.

Thanks for stopping bye!

  1. Hi Julie,
    I like your style! The blue fabrics you've shown are wonderful, especially with your ivory sofa. There seems to be so many wonderful fabrics out there, I'd probably have a hard time narrowing the contestants.
    Happy anniversary! I'm also very happy to hear your son continues to make progress...that accident was too scary.
    I'm also blogging only when I have something I feel won't bore readers. :-)
    xo,
    Karen
