Townhouse Spaces

I have been trying to decide on the type of  built in bookcases for my dining room for along time. I have a townhouse which I love, and have become very comfortable decorating "smaller" spaces. I was hoping to have the design for the bookcases finalized and started before/during my trip to Asia, but with Jan 20th fast approaching its not going to happen. While I have been looking and thinking about the right design for the space, I came across some great ideas for other spaces. I loved this design by Barri Dixon Inc. from a Georgetown Townhouse he designed.  Take a look:

So... What are you thoughts?  Do you like the look? In this case the owner has a collection they want to display, so the curtains most likely stay open all the time. But I love the option of being able to close the curtains to the visual "clutter" making for a very cosy space. In fact, I would love to get comfortable by the fire and watch the latest episode of Downton Abbey by the fire in this room! What do you think?

Daily Obsessions... HB Home Blue Geometric Curtains

Today I spent most of the day working on design projects I have going on, looking at furniture and fabrics all over fairfield country with a friend. (And its called "Work"?!? So fun...) We started up in Westport, at HB Home... HB Home has a great selection of fabrics, both their own designs, and other well knows fabric companies. The staff is so nice to work with, and I promise if you havent been already you will love it. (HB Home is in Westport AND Greenwich, and they have a different selection if each store!)

Among the fabrics I found, was this ever popular blue geometric pattern they have hanging as curtains. Notice the picture I took on the bottom left of the brass curtain hardware...amazing.

Isnt it great? It comes in a full assortment of colors, and I think it can go wit just about anything!
