Vintage Tablecloth to Ottoman Cover

March 26, 2017 by Jane F Leave a Comment

embroidered vintage tablecloth repurposed as an ottoman cover - Atticmag

My TV room ottoman has a new life and a bright look thanks to a repurposed vintage tablecloth. I repurposed a vintage tablecloth — natural linen with royal blue cross stitch embroidery — to recover an ottoman and I love the stunning result. The tablecloth was embroidered by my step-aunt Jeannie and my mom may have passed it along to me. While clearing out things in my basement … [Read more...]

Grand Picture Walls

February 20, 2017 by Jane F Leave a Comment

grand picture walls - hallway of a London flat hung with a collection of Chinese Mao posters - House & Garden via Atticmag

Grand picture walls offer maximum impact and color in any space from a hallway to a gabled room. Grand picture walls present themselves in a variety of ways. A wall can be considered grand due to the size of the pictures. The amount of wall space covered by pictures — or the sheer number of pictures — can create a grand scale, even in a small room. How pictures are arranged on … [Read more...]

Five Colorful Striped Décor Ideas

February 13, 2017 by Jane F Leave a Comment

striped décor - Long Island living room of Amy Fine Collins has brightly striped draperies - Elle Décor via Atticmag

Five striped décor ideas create colorful originality and eccentric chic in a Long Island country house. Striped decor can be a no-brainer or a tough sell. That’s because stripes are always bold as we’ve shown in various posts on striped décor over the years. Usually, the focus is walls -- from tent-stripe garden rooms by Miles Redd to a classic green striped bedroom by Celeri … [Read more...]

Dovecote Shed Style

February 6, 2017 by Jane F 1 Comment

architectural dovecote in Somerset England - World of Interiors via Atticmag

Crazy old-fashioned, this architectural dovecote is an outbuilding with unique style and purpose. Incredibly charming and beautifully constructed by hand, this dovecote was built in Somerset England by Gerry Peachey, a craftsman who used traditional hand-made methods for its construction. Not just a decorative shed, the dovecote has a specific (if arcane) function — similar to … [Read more...]

Double Freestanding Showers

January 30, 2017 by Jane F Leave a Comment

freestanding showers - a pair of freestanding Waterworks showers by architect Tom Kligerman in a master bath of an oceanside house - Ike Kligerman Barkley via Atticmag

Freestanding showers are constructed against glass partitions, making the enclosures nearly invisible. With freestanding showers, finished shower piping becomes a skeleton that performs. The idea is radical to most of us and we don't see these very often. Here are two double showers with different finishes, features and aesthetics. Each is interesting in its own … [Read more...]

Attic Reading Room

January 23, 2017 by Jane F Leave a Comment

attic reading room - whitewashed attic room with original beamed ceiling and stained glass - Elle Décor via Atticmag

What luxury to have the benefit of a large space at the top of the house dedicated to quiet pursuits. The concept of an attic reading room is novel today -- no pun intended. It also seems ideal for chess enthusiasts or avid card or backgammon players. My next door neighbor converted his attic into an enormous master suite and over the years we’ve shown attic spaces … [Read more...]

Pale Green Kitchens

January 16, 2017 by Jane F 2 Comments

pale green kitchens - modern urban kitchen with pale green cabinets and stainless steel accents - Peter Pennoyer Architects via Atticmag

Pale green kitchens are looking neutral as colors become subtle and complex. It's easy to think of pale green kitchens as falling into the Nordic/coastal category but, for me, they have become as neutral as gray or beige. That’s because pale colors tend to be mutable — which means they can take on hints of gray, yellow or even blue while retaining the spa-like aura. I’m … [Read more...]

Black Angus Meatballs

January 9, 2017 by Jane F Leave a Comment

homemade black Angus meatballs with tomato sauce over fettuccine - Atticmag

Homemade black Angus meatballs have a secret finishing trick to deliver maximum flavor. Meatball and spaghetti season has arrived. And Atticmag’s favorite recipe chef Lisa Deyo —who lends her talents to the recipe testing and photography for this blog — makes some really mean homemade black Angus meatballs from her Italian family recipe, which she’s sharing here. Two things … [Read more...]

Statement Sofas

January 3, 2017 by Jane F Leave a Comment

statement sofa - vintage Swedish framed sofa with plaid upholstery - Atticmag.com

Statement sofas send an anti-neutral message -- original décor lives in this house. Statement sofas are character actors. A sofa with a unique personality can be dominant enough to draw attention away from a troublesome aspect in any room. That can be one reason to choose a sofa with sculptural lines, a unique fabric treatment, or a deconstructed look -- one that's unique and … [Read more...]

Royal Copenhagen Fashionable Christmas Tables

fashionable Christmas - White Fluted dinnerware goes candy sweet and blush pink for Charlotte Eskildsen's "think pink" Christmas inspiration - Royal Copenhagen via Atticmag

This year's fashionable Christmas table tour features inspirations from European clothing designers. For a fashionable Christmas “Think Pink!” Designer Charlotte Eskildsen certainly had a rosy view of her minimalist Christmas table --a riff on that fashion anthem.  Even Royal Copenhagen’s streamlined White Fluted porcelain goes blush here. The monochrome table looks like … [Read more...]

Blue and White Backsplash Styles

blue and white kitchen backsplash with Made a Mano Novecento blue tile in a patchwork pattern - Made a Mano via Atticmag

Blue and white kitchen backsplash tile style varies from flowers and folk figures to geometrics. These days, blue and white backsplash chic is geometric. That makes it versatile since geometrics can go in most any direction. One road leads to patchwork [top] wonderfully expressed in the Novecento tile collection from Made a Mano, a tile house located in Copenhagen, London and … [Read more...]

Heirloom Barbecue Sauce

June 29, 2016 by Jane F 1 Comment

barbecue sauce - barbecued chicken thigh glazed with homemade cider-vinegar and ketchup based 50 year old heirloom bbq sauce - Atticmag

Barbecue sauce season gets kicked up a notch this Independence Day weekend. I already can smell the chicken and ribs on the grill. And those aren't memorable without a great barbecue sauce for marinating and basting. So ask yourself: what’s in your pantry? If the answer is store-bought barbecue sauce, I would like to offer a super easy homemade alternative. It’s an heirloom … [Read more...]

Color Picture Walls

color picture wall - six different colored John Baldessari images, in black frames, are displayed above a red-edged lucite Alexandra von Furstenberg console table in the Paris apartment of fashion designer Veronica Toub. The table supports the color in the art above it - AD via Atticmag

Compose a color picture wall using frames, mats or a vibrant background with neutral or colorful images. I’ve fallen in like with the idea of a color picture wall. In my dining room, I have pale green on the wall behind the pictures and my frames are white -- very trad. So I was extremely intrigued by a few different strategies I spotted for adding color to walls. Many prefer … [Read more...]
