I read somewhere where it took quite a long time for her to select just the perfect blue for the custom upholstery fabric for this room. I agree with Homebeforedark... I am not a fan of fans with light fixtures...fan only. Not necessarily fond of covering the chain with fabric though. Though it softens the lines of the chain, it just seems dated to me. So necessary in every room in Florida to keep the house cool in the very warm months of the year! Place lamps on tables. I do, however like the trim in white with the creamy wall color. I took inspiration from this room by purchasing a small riser/stool (found on etsy)for the table in the center of my room with a high planter atop similar to what is seen in this room. I also love the dark woods as a contrast to the lighter tropical feel of the walls and upholstery. This house is a beauty; I believe Bunny and John sold it not too long ago. <br /><br /><br />Looking forward to the transformation of your gorgeous new house! <br /><br />best, teaorwineteaorwinehttp://teaorwine.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-13777965887032667362020-06-15T08:15:13.580-04:002020-06-15T08:15:13.580-04:00It was stunning - I have posted several photos of ...It was stunning - I have posted several photos of it here.Beth Connollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443450944645563476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-75460352881979759692020-06-15T08:14:16.680-04:002020-06-15T08:14:16.680-04:00No, because the room has a massive mirror in it al...No, because the room has a massive mirror in it already.Beth Connollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443450944645563476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-87082740514740173442020-06-15T08:13:03.684-04:002020-06-15T08:13:03.684-04:00Quite the power couple!Quite the power couple!Beth Connollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443450944645563476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-10387710170216511902020-06-15T08:12:30.756-04:002020-06-15T08:12:30.756-04:00I don't think so.

That said, the Punta Cana house is lovely. I'm a big fan of tables/books/etc breaking up a large space. If I recall Bunny's room is 30x50!!! David Easton was a master of this look and I enjoy Mark Stiles refresh on the idea. I think the darker woods adds gravitas to the room. I would like the room better with the trim and walls the same color (Stiles' version) and the slips in white not blue. I'm a rare bird: A negative blood (6%), green eyes (2%) and I'm so not a fan of pale blues probably in the low end of people on this planet. I know. It's a burden to bear to be so out of sync!!! I like Bunny's handling of the ceiling fans: no light fixtures, just fans. They are less obtrusive that way. Of course, when your ceilings are at least what 16' high they disappear out of the site line anyway. Love your new house's bones. So much good stuff to play with!home before darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272062955786414729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-2235069030995549732020-06-14T14:01:52.383-04:002020-06-14T14:01:52.383-04:00Oscar de la Renta's home in Punta Cana is a fa...Oscar de la Renta's home in Punta Cana is a favourite for me.

I wanted to also let you know I went to Homegoods yesterday in both Bonita Springs & Naples and found Dana Gibson art in both stores. I felt like I had hit the Homegoods jackpot! Wanted to let you know because I think I first discovered Dana Gibson from Chinoiserie Chic years ago.
