Happy Autumn


/1/
Isn't this gorgeous?

As the seasons change and we ready ourselves for a wonderful time of ''nesting", when our focus turns to creating an inviting space to overwinter, I just want to wish you all a Happy Fall.  Here in Virginia, our leaves are not changing yet, and it seems a bit later than usual, which is fine by me.  

At Powell Brower Interiors we have been steadily busy with wonderful clients, and we are truly thankful.  Many of our more extensive installs this year have not been photographed yet since several are being done in stages, such as in Phase 1: basic furniture and finishes and Phase 2: the final layer of art, accessories and staging.

We have been doing some historic office spaces in Warrenton, VA and creating living room settings in each office, helping the employees to de-stress in our calm, natural and collected spaces.

We've had the most fun finding new vendors and bespoke craftsmen to add unique pieces to our designs...and getting our hands dirty.  I really love the process and the hands-on approach to finishing a room.

Lots of design plans for clients have been happening.  Some have been executed 'en totale', some in part and a few long distance.  A few did upholstery only, while others gave us artistic license to complete the job as we see fit. (Can I say DREAM client?) 
 Here are a few design boards:





Here are some PBI  sample presentation boards:




Bethany's kitchen and more house 'zhushing' has been happening, and, of course, is the most fun of all- designing together. That is my dream. We are working on getting that photographed, hopefully this year, so we will share those at a later time.

Have a wonderful fall and prayers to those in hurricane Matthew's wake!

FALL-ing for change


It's funny how our tastes change with the season.  In the summer I love the color of water, sand, river stones, natural wood and sky blue and aqua, which I use in my home.  
Now I'm looking toward the earth tones of fall in art and in fabrics. 


                                          Autumn Aurillia by Franklin Carmichael


Since traveling to Italy last October I continually peruse Fortuny online for beautiful fabric inspiration.  I am dying to have some Fortuny pillows.  I had the opportunity to buy some fabric there and thought it was too expensive! It is about double the price in the states!


                                      Fortuny's Piumette in burnt apricot & gold


Melagrana in marmalade & silver


Campanelle in apricot monotones & silvery gold

This painting  "Autumn in the Foothills" by W. Herbert Dunton reminds me of the winter ahead and inspires a new color scheme.

Are you inspired to change your decor with the seasons?

Happy Fall


It's officially fall and I'm officially on board.


I am continually inspired by the colors in nature and all around me. 
When we were at Bethany Beach Delaware last weekend, even the ocean, the light, the atmosphere seems to have changed since summer.

This photo on a gray, windy day led me to dream about blue, olive and tan color schemes.


Then I dreamed of river stones and pebbles as new color schemes:
These would be a lovely addition to a neutral room. 
What colors are you thinking about lately?

Wilma thinks this quote from 'You've Got Mail' is perfectly befitting of fall.
