		<title>&#8230;framing prints 101&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Found the motherload of vintage prints this weekend.  This homeowner had to be in the art business or I can&#8217;t imagine what he had in mind with all these prints&#8230;I&#8217;m talking hundreds of them, uncut in poster fashion.  So imagine six 9&#215;12 prints or eight 5&#215;8 prints all together on one large poster.  There were stacks [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8230;client work&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Catching up on documenting 2011 work&#8230;caught up with some clients today.  I love hanging groups of pictures and The &#8220;L&#8221; family had lots of art work.  The family lived in Asia for a period of time and the hallway connecting the family room to the living room contained their Asian collection&#8230; I arranged the artwork in [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8230;chippy and rusty&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love things rusty and chippy, and generally old things that can be transformed with new uses.   Too &#8220;rustic&#8221; may not be everyone&#8217;s cup of tea but they can be cool when mixed with more refined things.  That&#8217;s my favorite style right now&#8230;mixing it up&#8230;gilded and gaudy.  Scored some fun things at two auctions and one estate [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8230;revisiting green chair project&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Last couple of weeks I&#8217;ve been back to see my friends at The Green Chair Project.  Life and work kinda got in the way of volunteering.  Spent some time in the showroom today, organizing furniture and adding accessories.  It still amazes me how a bunch of stuff from multiple households can come together.  Green [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8230;lamps and shades&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s nothing like a beautiful vintage lamp and, if you&#8217;re lucky, a pristine vintage shade to match.    Even though big-box stores like Homegoods and Target are hawking some pretty sweet lighting at decent prices, they won&#8217;t have the patina and texture of their vintage counterparts.  I have replaced plugs (kits that just require splicing the cord and [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8230;purging 101 or letting go of the stuff&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Arrived back in the mountains with a load of stuff to sell at Oddfellows including this ornate settee&#8230; It&#8217;s a settee I&#8217;ve probably had for close to 16 years but it takes up a lot of space in the dining room.  Part of January purging is to &#8221;thin out&#8221; and look at stuff through a new lens&#8230;the lens that [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8230;trohv&#8230;a treasure trove of reuse&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is my ideal store where reuse and sustainability meet good design.  The store opened its DC location in April and it&#8217;s packed with a mix of beautiful wood and upholstered furniture and fun accessories.  I saw a blurb in Elle Decor and Trohv (pronounced &#8220;trove&#8221;) far exceeded my expectations&#8230; Related Posts:&#8230;new antiques booth asheville&#8230;&#8230;client work&#8230;&#8230;holiday decor, part [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8230;hotel lorien, old town alexandria&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hotel Lorien is a lovely modern couterpart to its sister hotel down the street where we&#8217;ve stayed in past years.  Mr. F&#38;F and I were attending his company party that evening and the Lorien was a stone&#8217;s throw to the party.  I&#8217;m still partial to Monaco but did enjoy the modern design elements and attention [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8230;workspace redesign&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not so long ago, in the throes of inventory acquisition, my workspace resembled an episode of Hoarders.   I had cleaned up some since then but hadn&#8217;t made it the cozy, functional space I envisioned.  Mr. F&#38;F also shares this space and THAT&#8217;S a challenge for us both, so out of respect for the little corner he occupies, [...]]]></description>
