New Ideas... Photographed by Blayne Beacham

Try pairing two sofas with a sculpted English Arm in a Living Room to add seating and symetry to the space. Many times you need the seating when entertaining and relaxing with friends or family. Here we used Hickory Chair Sofa's in Bone Linen Velvet with Handstitched Pillows out of Clarence House Fabric. The original Orchid Sketches in Sepia are by Claudia Campbell. The rug is a vintage Persian rug in indigo and shades of pink tourmaline. The marble surround is Bottoncino from Italy and the antique Walnut chairs are covered in a cut chenille.

In a Breakfast Room Try combining different woods and textures as we did here with an antique French Table with inlaid details and a Norweigan Buffet in Old Pine. The chandelier is a vintage French piece with silk shades by Atlanta favorite Sunlighting. The chairs by Hickory Chair in carved bamboo. The painting was juried at The High Museam of Art in the 1970's and won Best in Show by artist Julia Thompson. We used dried hydrangeas in a Fruit Basket by Smith & Hawkin to complete the look.
