A Little Fabric Frippery





I think this Louis XVI daybed, above, is just so darn pretty. I like the choice of fabrics, the restrained use of the ikat print, the charming corona, and the tiny sunburst mirror hanging within the bed curtain. If this were in my home, I think I would have to stop every time I walked by just to look at it and admire its charm.

So, to end the week on a frothy note, here are some other striking examples of fabric finery, captivating curtains, sensational swags, and voguish valances.

Is there anyone more skilled in the luxurious use of fabric than Charlotte Moss? (Images of the Townhouse from O at Home, Fall 07, photographer Michael Grimm)
