		<title>Classic Trends</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Vintage house numbers tossed in a container become artful objects.
Go to any home decorating forum and it won&#8217;t be hard to find someone asking about current trends.  The problem with &#8220;the latest&#8221; is that it probably won&#8217;t stand the test of time&#8230; and end up in a tag sale at a fraction of its original [...]]]></description>

		<title>Indigo-Blue Moroccan Rugs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Moroccan rugs woven of indigo-dyed wool are especially dramatic opposite bright whites.
There is a particular shade of blue used in flat-weave Moroccan rugs that is unlike any blue I have seen in Oriental rugs.  Derived from the Indigo plant, it&#8217;s a full bodied, color-soaked variety of royal blue.

Solid indigo-blue kilims are especially striking when placed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Black Wall Murals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Nothing has the visual authority of noir.
Several months ago I attended a color theory seminar at the Ann Sacks tile showroom in NYC. On the way in, I snapped this photo of a tile mural that stopped me from across the showroom floor nearly half a city block away. It was the stunning Sakura Collection [...]]]></description>

		<title>Italian Bathtub Chic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I suffer from a serious case of bathtub-love.
But it’s definitely and eccentrically ultra-modern. Conventional tubs are great, but my wish list has a distinct point of view: special features that, along with great design, really make tubs chic. Every tub on the list is Italian-designed.
It started with this image clipped from a German magazine. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Red-Lover&#8217;s Moroccan Rug</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Poppy red Moroccan rugs add warmth to creamy white interiors.
Many Moroccan carpets have what I call a &#8220;poppy red&#8221; color.  It&#8217;s an earthy shade of red.  Not too orange and definitely not a high-gloss Chinese red.  It&#8217;s a rich, warm shade that pairs naturally with rustic wood and organic elements.  It&#8217;s what I consider a [...]]]></description>
