This Seattle interior designer is inspired by this classic secretary from Hickory Chair designed by Thomas O’Brien. It is a memorable design and suitable for so many areas of a home; the bedroom, kitchen, library, home office. For myself, I imagine it in my bedroom.

As striking open as it is closed, the spare lines of this sophisticated secretary recall the chic style of a 1940’s French design. The understated case is raised by a subtle saber leg, topped by a discreet hinged compartment and finished standard in Antique Ivory. The secretary’s interior is executed in richly toned kingwood with a Classic finish interior and is outfitted with a variety of drawers, round ring pulls, Hepplewhite knobs and a leather-insert desktop.

Yes, this Seattle interior designer joins the city to celebrate El Nino.. and the warmest February ever. I love the blooming flowers, magnolia trees near flowering and the smiles on everyone’s faces.

Tomorrow will be the final perfect day. The last April day in February. It’s time to explore floral fabrics and bring the flowers to interior design.

This Seattle designer loves Suzanis. And I have posted about them earlier, Suzani Excitement Emerges in Home Interiors.

Suzani is a type of embroidered and decorative tribal textile made in Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and other Central Asian countries. Its name is from the Persian سوزن Suzan which means needle. The art of making such textiles in Iran is called سوزنکاری Suzankāri (needlework).

Chain, satin, and buttonhole stitches are the primary stitches used. There is also extensive use of couching, in which decorative thread laid on the fabric as a raised line is stitched in place with a second thread.

Suzanis were traditionally made by Central Asian brides as part of their dowry, and were presented to the groom on the wedding day.
