Thank you ever-so-graciously, Things that Inspire, for including our home's hallway in your post today featuring the latest from Quatrefoil Design.
Inspiration is a great thing, which is why I love reading blogs. And when resources are provided, that is the icing on the cake. When I see a photo of a fabric or chair I admire, my next reaction is "where can I get it?"
With Things that Inspire sharing her passions that include offering classic designs as wall art via Quatrefoil Design is a great thing. The variations of frames, sizes and intaglios are what I found so appealing about their site.
If you are an admirer of intaglios, here are some of my favorite displays for inspiration:
From Virginia-based designer, Barry Dixon, his portfolio from a residence in Bethesda, Maryland includes a quaint display of intaglios. A vignette I've long admired. The combination of cream-colored intaglios with a brown background and gold frames give it such a warm feel.
Let me add that his design book, Barry Dixon Interiors is filled with incredible photos showcasing his projects over the years. I refer to it over and over again, simply for the inspiration and enjoyment I receive taking-in all of Mr. Dixon's great work.
With intaglios, I like to see different types of groupings of artwork displayed, which I find so pleasing to my eyes. This is a great example by Suzanne Kasler. It looks as though the intaglios are outlined in a dark color. This vignette is one of my favorites in her book, Inspired Interiors.
Another great source of inspiration comes from Home & Design magazine's website. Three Italian intaglios from Greek Mythology. Barbara Hawthorn Interiors designed this lovely classic home.
It's hard to see closely in the photo but it appears that the frames have a design element I am drawn to, and that is the 'x' embossed around the perimeter of the frame. It is one of my very favorites.
I am very excited to have discovered Quatrefoil Design and very much look forward to building onto my collection of Joni's.
And so the quest for the ideal nest continues!
