I can not wait to see what  the decorators come up with this season! Especially at the Maison de Luxe at Greystone Mansion.  I'll be parked in front of my tv on November 13th!

....from this blog but I love, love, love me some pattern.  Especially on a sofa.  I want to reupholster my sofa but I haven't been able to decide on a pattern.

I just can't decide; ikat, suzani, chevron, trellis....
decisions, decisions....
What do you think about patterened sofas? Yes...No...Maybe So....?

SHAGREEN!

 Shagreen is a type of  rough untanned skin made of the skins of sharks and rays (thanks Wikipedia!) It's typically used to cover anything from furniture, lighting, mirrors, accessories, or even walls! And here's a Fun Fact! because  shagreen is typically made from the skin of  sharks and rays, it’s impervious to stains and water. Perfect for nightstands, side tables and anywhere else you might pop a drink on. No need for coasters!
