I love designing schemes for clients spaces. Recently I had a ton of fun working on a pillow plan for a client to incorporate into a family room. The pillows will be for a grey sectional couch. The client is looking for punches of pattern to elevate the room.

The jumping off is this new fabric by Clarence House - Yuri Print Linen.

I especially love the Daintree blue chenille fabric with the OD Aquarium - the Haute Moire in pale gold is simply fab! I added a solid from JAB and this linen from Jean Monro.

The final plan.

Another client already chose pillow fabrics for a den and I was specifically looking for trims. I love the Tussaud and the Perle Tassel with these fabrics.

I added the **Tussaud** trim to the fabric the client had previously chosen

The **Perle Tassel Antique Trim** is a perfect match

You can see I have an affinity for Clarence House my friends. They have so many gorgeous options. I was at the Design Showcase in Upper Montclair last week and I saw delightful new offerings.

Today is a lot of things to many but to our family first and foremost it’s a day of celebration - a day of Birthdays for both my Mother in Law and Brother in Law. What are the odds of having a child on own your birthday!?! Here’s a bit about the lovely lady I’m so fortunate to call mom Marge King-Porter.

Marge is wildly creative. I always say when describing her SHE is the original Martha. Marge knows antiques, baking, cooking, decorating, gardening, sewing and how to wallpaper!

She’s prepared countless wonderful meals and birthday treats over the years. She’s a wonderful grandmother who always has something special for our son - when he was little it was a toy as he’s gotten older a special tasty. When we moved into the Chalet she sewed curtains for us. She has an incredible eye for design and details. She loves decorating and still ardently adds pieces and tweaks the design of her home. Until I met Marge I’d never met someone who had a different Christmas theme every year. For the last 26 years I’ve been the beneficiary of lovely christmas decor and ribbons. For many years she gifted me brand new olive green wired ribbon for my christmas packaging. Because unlike Marge I pretty much do the same thing every Christmas - and use the same ribbon. We’ve antiqued together over the years and she was so helpful with the search for a dresser for my husband. An antique we located in downtown Warwick of course!

Wonderful captures over the years.

Her life is centered in the Village of Warwick, NY. She’s a little over an hour from us. In the past she owned and operated antique stores in New Jersey and The (now closed) Clock Tower Antiques Center on Main Street for 20 years. She has frequently decorated homes as well as having her own home on Winding Through Warwick a holiday home tour that benefits the local St. Anthony’s Hospital. She has been involved with Warwick Applefest for many years - helping with various duties from T-shirt Design to assisting some of the 30,000 visitors that attend this annual event the first Sunday in October from the Chamber of Commerce booth.

She specializes in holiday and seasonal decorating and has lent her hands and talent to Warwick in Bloom as well as designing window displays for local shops in Warwick.

For a few years starting in 2016 Marge was a partner in two different home staging, estate sale and decluttering businesses. Stage N Sell and Green Mountain Services - she successfully brought her antiques expertise, eye for design and organizational skills to these ventures.
