are we there yet??

i am currently working on a very nice spec (7,000 sq ft) home. and i am battling w/ the lighting....i want to know if the general public is there yet- are you ready for bronze/ antique brass to be back in your home? it is definitely coming back in a large way but are we ready for it? i think there is some great stuff out there right now and if i commit to putting it in this spec home is the general public going to know that it's making a big come back or are they going to view it as dated.....and then, say i do introduce it as the kitchen pendants and the DR chandelier am i commited to do every bathroom fixture in that finish...

you are so beautiful to me....

so you know when you become obsessed with something...well this harlequin decadence paper is my latest obsession. ever since ruthie sommers's office was featured on style court, i can't get it out of my head. when i was in ADAC, i went straight up to ainsworth-noah to make sure i left with that wallpaper sample....and i did. and i am in love. the sheen of the paper is so beautiful...like what a satin paint gives off. i think i am also obsessed w/ the fact that ruthie (i talk like we are on a first name basis) papered the ceiling.....

* the second pic is a better representation of what the paper actually looks like...please forgive harlequin for the awful bedding and pillows that cause a complete distraction to my beautiful paper....i think it was a momentary lapse of judgement on their part :)
