Chicken Wire Chic

October 4, 2011 by Allison 2 Comments

chicken wire inserts in a khaki-green lake house guest bath cabinet by designer Barbara Westbrook - House Beautiful via Atticmag

Finding its way from the barnyard into the main house, chicken wire has some homeowners crowing. When we were building our cottage I mentioned using chicken wire on the doors of two hutches in our kitchen. I was met with a blank stare from the cabinet maker. Would it have sounded better in French or Italian?  Probably not with my southern accent. Whether it's fabric backed or … [Read more...]

A safari theme baby's room by a DIY mom is designed for growth and exploration. We're having a baby boom at Atticmag, and our first new mom-to-be is Brandy O.

Today, the  traditional powder room focuses on a trio of key decorative elements. Traditional powder room design is becoming as easy as one, two, three: 1. Convert a piece of furniture — preferably vintage or antique into a vanity. 2. Add a decorative mirror and a pair of sconces over it. 3. Plan a tile or wall treatment to add surface interest. Even top pros like … [Read more...]

white shag carpets - mid-century modern living room with white shag rug by Jamie Bush and Co - via Atticmag

Plush white shag carpets are a natural choice for mid-century inspired rooms Synonymous with the Sixties, wall-to-wall white shag carpets were a staple of every household in my neighborhood.  Fast forward to the 21st century, and we find today’s shag is hipper, sleeker and very much back in style. Less is definitely more in the designer rooms featured, where solid white … [Read more...]

artistic drapery in a monochromatic Long Island living room by Jose Solis Betancourt - Hampton Cottages & Gardens via Atticmag

Drapery fabrics are used to soften big windows in monochromatic spaces. Some designers have a knack for creating interesting and beautifully crafted drapery treatments that add ideas to a room. Then there are rare occasions when fabrics take on a life of their own as interior art forms. For me, this Long Island house by Jose Solis Betancourt, who practices in Washington, D.C., … [Read more...]
