Mirror, Mirror




With new shipments from Uttermost and Evergreen, the DMD studio is bursting at the seams with beautiful accessories. These iron mirrors from Uttermost range from the ecclectic to the traditional. While the sunburst Haviland style makes the most dramatic statement, the various leaves are just in time for some seasonal decorating!

New Schumacher Modern









Dial Meyers has just received the latest fabrics from the Schumacher Modern Collection. What we love about these three in particular is how a simple pattern, hint of metallic or a pop of bright color freshen up a neutral palette. They would be perfect for simple window treatments or throw pillows to give your living space an updated and modern look.

Another Great Before and After




Another Transformation has taken place in Rosemont. They were such a pleasure to work with. We updated the clients den to a grown-up chic space with the family in mind. A sectional is a great way for your family to have lots of room to enjoy viewing the television or just spend some time with each other. The mirror on the wall gives back some reflective light and mimics the motif from the fabric on the window treatment while also making the space seem larger. What a great before and after. DM

The "Latest and Greatest" from Lee Jofa!

Now's the time to spruce up your "roost"
before the hectic holidays (and holiday guests) arrive!
New wallpaper books from Lee Jofa have just
arrived at Dial Meyers, and they are packed with some
spectacular new designs.

Some of my favorites include:

Brush Flower Tulip Tree

Before and After: Huguenot Farms Family Room

Before:
After:
Neutral walls and upholstery combined with tailored splashes of color warm up this den in Huguenot Farms. The leather sectional provides comfortable seating for the whole family, while giving the room a more sophisticated look. Additionally, the abstract painting by local artist Laura Loe takes full advantage of the high ceilings and adds color and interest to the space.

A DMD Approach to Window Treatments...

The addition of color and pattern with these feathered pillows take a kitchen window seat from everyday to extraordinary.

A little nook is the perfect opportunity to use bright colors and bold patterns to make a statement without being too over the top.



Here, we were able to define the space and add some extra seating by dressing up a window seat with sophisticated fabrics that are cohesive with the rest of the living area.

A window seat isn't all about looks... here, form follows function, as the bench and brightly patterned pillows conceal extra storage in the family's laundry area.
