Still Loving.....Anything with a Greek Key Detail

Like this tile flooring in a historic mansion turned B&B I was in recently:

I wonder if my husband or my tile guy would be more annoyed with me if I suggested cutting out a portion of the barely a year old black hex tile on the floor of my guest bathroom to add this border:

I bought the entire spool of Greek key trim at Joann Fabrics recently and can't decide if I want to do bolsters on the guest beds or trim out the curtains (or both) with it.

I love the trim used with a strong Ikat print in the same same color here:

I keep looking at, and walking away from, a set of Hollywood Regency horse head bookends with a Greek key motif around the base at a local consignment shop.  I really think I need to go get them for my office.

I'm also pondering painting a wood tray (I'm obsessed with trays) I picked up at Goodwill aqua and using a Greek key stencil (in gold) either around the outside or in the inside bottom of it.

I'd love even just a few pieces of the Jonathan Adler Greek Key china:

This bench with Greek key details would be gorgeous in almost any room:

I will probably always regret not buying the coffee table version of this from Williams Sonoma Home:

I know Greek Key is having a really popular moment right now but I still think it's a classic and can't get enough of it!

It was fun while it lasted....

I'm bummed picnik is closing but have had fun playing with all the premium features on the site that I would never spring for.  I trying to find a place in our house to work in this photo I look in London.

Wish our usable wall space wasn't so limited!

Client Project: Kitchenette

I've been ignoring my love of color lately while working on some inspiration boards for a client that dislikes a lot of color and almost all floral patterns. We're still in the very preliminary stages but I'm excited to see it all come together.  A person shouldn't be this excited over a custom cornice, it's not normal.

Rococo Headboards

I pinned this picture on Pinterest recently.

And instantly thought of it when I saw this ornate gold headboard for $225 at an antique store.

I've spent far too much time trying to figure out how to get this into my guest room..............

Creative Mountings for a Flat Screen TV

I was at a friend's house recently and noticed this (really wish I'd taken the time to take a proper photo of it)

He bought the easel at a local antique mall and mounted the TV and sound bar to it, hiding all the cords down the back leg of the easel.  (He's looking for a complimentary item for the components now.) It's super tall and really impressive in real life.  It got me thinking about other unconventional ways to mount your TV.

I realize that most interior designers would prefer to not see a TV but that's just not convenient for the way the majority of families live.  We have more TV's than people in our house.

This isn't a mounting exactly but I do love the frame around the TV in the Brooklyn Limestone master bedroom.

Incorporating the TV into a wall of built-ins is genius if you can do it (in my opinion anyway).  I wish I had this option in my living room.

As it is, I think that with the shape of my living room this would be about my best option.

Anyone come across any new ideas for TV mounting that they've loved lately?
