The Aviator Collection is unlike anything we have seen before! The wallcovering is “inspired by the vintage design of metal fighter planes. Hand crafted by artisans, a unique pattern of small nail heads is hand screened atop a ground of overlapping metallic paper, reinterpreting the look and feel of plane’s exterior from the golden age of flight. Available in a range of metallic color combnations Aviator has your walls soaring to new heights.

The Wild Woods collection is a “chic interpretation of wood grain…embossed atop a natural bark paper with hits of metallic to exude the look of shimmering bark. Treated with a stain repellent finish, this innovative collection is available in a range of luxurious colorations that will make you go wild.”

Phillip Jeffries also came out with some exciting solid textures.

Above is the Chain Mail Collection. ”Jute is hand woven and laminated onto a metallic or colored paper ground for unique texture that marries sophistication with natural texture. Available in twelve metallic and matte colors, plus a stain repellent finish, Chain Mail is THE texture for walls.”

Talk about tailored! The Herringbone Collection is inspired by the bespoke tailoring found in London’s Savile Row. “Classic chevron pattern Herringbone brings a strong geometric statement to the walls in a range of timeless colors. Collection is paper-backed, pre-trimmed and treated with a stain repellent finish for ease in installation. “

This fresh fabric is Lee Jofa embroidered linen “Nolita- Brass/Wheat” lined with Kravet linen “24575-1″.

We also love the Kravet Couture fabric on the pillows: “Main Focus- Citrus”

The drapery hardware is a part of Kravet’s Barabara Barry Indochine collection pictured below. The collection comes in 6 different finishes. We used the “Soft Silver” with “Secret Key” finials and “Perfect Circle” rings.

Here are a few more pictures of what Kravet has to offer for drapery hardware. They have many great options for traditional and contemporary treatments.

And of course while we were there we had to admire the new colorful Windsor Smith collection…

…and oh so bright Lee Jofa Lilly Pullitzer fabrics!

Thank you Kravet! We look forward to doing more work for your showroom in the future.

Below are some of the bright colors and fun embroideries of the new 2012 Lievre collection.

The new Leliévre & Stark Sonia Rykiel home décor line  was also shown.

The French fashion designer’s collection features a piqué embossed with Sonia Rykiel’s signiture “SR”, large scale houndstooths and woven jacquards with handwriting and flowers.

Lastly, Catherine and Emmanel went over the Tassinari & Chatel fabrics for Leliévre.

Below are some fabrics from the Tassinari & Chatel: Exception collection, some of the most prestigious from their archives. Formerly woven on hand looms which we have often been requested to re-weave. The designs have been transposed from hand loom to mechanical loom to make them more accessible both in price and in production time. Thus making it more possible to propose them for prestigious projects without losing anything of their exclusive and authentic character.

Below an archive and reproduction of a textile made for Marie-Antoinette in the Palace of Versailles

Here are some more beautiful intricate woven archive fabrics with gold thread.

We were so inspired by all of the new (and old!) fabrics we were presented. A big thank you to the Stark Showroom at SOCO for hosting!

AFTER:

What was done? The room was painted a soft blue and a custom headboard, bedding, cornice boxes, drapery panels, and reupholstered bench were added to created a soothing retreat for our client.

We love the headboard we designed for this bedroom. We used a powder blue suede and added silver nailheads and crystal brooch buttons.

The fundraiser is on March 22nd, 2012. 

“National Charity League, Inc. (NCL) is a non-profit national organization of mothers and daughters who join together in community involvement within local chapters throughout the United States. Our goal is to foster a sense of community responsibility and strengthen the mother-daughter relationship.

Attendees will tour finely appointed homes in Coto de Caza. The event begins at the Rancho Santa Margarita Bell Tower Community Center where you will check in and enjoy a light breakfast, courtesy of Cinnamon Productions, lunch from Hanna’s Restaurant, boutique shopping before and after the tour, and Transportation. All net proceeds will benefit local charities that we work with.”

We encourage everyone to come out to enjoy a fun day filled with design inspiration! To purchase tickets to the event go to http://www.nclcanyonhometour.com/. Look out for the beautiful rooms designed here at Judy’s Custom Workroom!

A family room and nook in need of window treatments and comfortable furniture conducive for conversation and television viewing. Before the scale of the client’s existing sofa limited the placement. The rooms lack color and connection.

AFTER:

After getting to know our client and understanding their needs, we designed a beautiful space that would be perfect for their family. We were drawn to these cool shades of blue, white, and taupe. A darker distressed wood floor was the canvas for custom window treatments and furniture. A custom rug was added to bring everything together.

Window treatment fabric: Stark Orsan-7360235

All of the furniture was created here at Judy’s Custom Workroom. We love these chairs!

Fabric: Kravet Bansuri-515

The family room is a small space so we created a custom ottoman with nailheads for storage. We also created a slightly smaller sofa with slimmer arms than the previous sofa to allow for more seating. The furniture now fits the room beautifully and the cool colors and “driftwood” finishes tie everything together.

Sofa fabric: Trend 02115-Driftwood

Pillow fabrics: Kravet 31592-516 and Stark Blk Canyon-7890349

…we’re just not so excited to take down holiday decorations, definitely not as much fun as putting them up! We thought we would share some photos of one of our client’s homes we decorated for the holidays this year.

The holiday season is when we all spend the most time enjoying our homes, snuggling up and hosting parties and family gatherings. You want your home to feel warm and welcoming and holiday decor puts everyone in a good mood. Keep us at Judy’s Custom Workroom/ Orange Coast Interior Design in mind for next year!

As you can see, we avoided the traditional Christmas reds and greens with the garland in this home. The color scheme is strictly white, gold, bronze, and silver to coordinate with the homes elegant furnishings and contemporary taste. We were still able to give the home a warm cozy feeling without using traditional decor and our client was very happy.

In addition to the entry staircase, we also made a custom garland for two fireplace mantles- one in the living room to match the staircase and the other more white and silver to match the family room furniture. Our client previous stockings were a little too casual and old fashioned for her taste, so we made new ones for her here at Judy’s Custom Workroom that look beautiful with her decor. They are so glamorous!

We hope everyone had a great holiday and is now enjoying this “winter” weather! 80s in January?! Love it.
