In the November issue of House Beautiful they featured Peter Dunham's home and I instantly became smitten. His use of color and layering of patterns is something I only wish I could do ever so boldly. The entry way with its antique weathered rug, boxwood, and gorgeous sofa is a look I would love to recreate one day. West Elm carries a line of fabric that slightly mimics this feel. No its definitely not as wonderful as the Peter Dunham fabric which is handprinted and the spindle legs of what I am sure is an antique sofa, but for the budget conscious this one would work ever so nicely.
Oh that sofa in Peter's home is gorgeous, but what a great choice too from West Elm. I'd love a sofa like this one day, when the kiddos are a bit older probably.
ReplyDeleteHis entryway is gorgeous and could be easily recreated with West Elm's sofa! Great eye!
ReplyDeleteThat sofa is lovely. It would be a great touch in our home.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for your camera suggestions and experiences. Every little comment helps :)
I am loving that pattern of the sofa!
ReplyDeleteYes, that would do nicely :) Great finds!
ReplyDeleteI actually love the West Elm version and am so into patterned sofas these days. Great find and I have to thank you again for the post on my blog- your feature helped my little read get so many more viewers- thanks!!! Have a great week!!xxx
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteOhh, I love that. You've given me a good idea as I've been looking for a hallway bench, but love this - it's a step up.
ReplyDeleteThank-you! :-)
I loved his house when I was flipping through my HB the other day. I marked it to go back and really study that article. Thanks for the reminder!!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to do that to my sofa
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you over how wonderful that hallway is - simply stunning. So light and airy and one I would swap my dark one for in a heartbeat.

How I wish I had magic powers to magically add a pattern like that to my sofa!

Looks fresh and fabulous!
ReplyDeleteNow, does boxwood survive indoors? I love the effect. I might just need to adopt the idea. (I will call a nursery).
A warm hug to you,
