Silver Decor

After a very rainy yesterday, today we have a beautiful blue sky! Sunshine! and lots of blustery wind.

Every room benefits from a little metal. Today, silver. Gold's genteel cousin, whether its antiqued, polished, hammered, textured, tarnished, patinated, painted, crackled, leafed, brushed...silver creates interest, texture, sublte drama, and a reflective appeal.

Perfect for a hallway, smaller dining room, foyer.
Hand painted on an antiqued silver ground; handy drawer and storage behind the door.

"Twiggy" wallpaper in Silver from Schumacher

"Seawaves" mirror designed by Carol Canner for Carvers' Guild, a family owned New England company.
The bubble effect is beautiful.
Generously sized, 30" wide, 49.5" tall, it would make quite the statement in a foyer. 

Antiqued silver leafed chandelier from Decorative Crafts.
Modern but without the hard edge.

"Jardin" silver table lamp with a tangerine silk shade from Jamie Young.

"Ice" drapery hardware from Brimar.

One of Schumacher's modern classics, "Imperial Trellis" wallpaper in silver.



Re-upholster your dining room chairs in this very realistic faux leather, Checkered Tile" in Silver and you'll be happy you did. It is extremely hard wearing and wipes clean with a damp cloth. From Robert Allen.

"Silver Bamboo" lamps from Barbara Cosgrove with shantung shades.

Delos Rugs "Detailed Border" collection. Hand-tufted Indian wool.
Viscose accents give the look of silk highlights without the high cost.

Have a great weekend!
