Before I go back to the cafe’ tale, I wanted to show you the use of the sofa that I called “The Perfect Sofa”
I loved this room. -my perfect sofa, charming tables, magnificant console and fireplace, and beautiful artwork.
And PS – I can have it made for you in any fabric and size you desire!
Deep tufting, perfect bullet shape, and just touches of color.

We are completing the FRESH MARKET cafe’ in Tupelo, Ms this week. I’m very excited about their opening. We have gone through a lot to get there, but it has been a great experience. We were given a building that, in any other circumstance, would be a tear down situation. It was a mess! A big one. It had been a fast food restaurant and ignored for a year or two after it closed. I will tell you about the phases of this exciting but crazy project. This first photo, if I can find it, is the way we found the building.
EXISTING BUILDING -a year ago.
This is actually showing the “good” side of the building.
We did reuse the structure. Gutted the interior and started over. So I suppose one would call this an adoptive reuse? Maybe not. But it is a very good “redo”.
I hope you enjoy the journey.

Yes, SNAKES! The latest and hottest look for your interiors is a snake-skin print. Whether it is vinyl, wool, or the real think(ugh), the look of a snake is it. And guess what. I like it…..a lot…..
It can be so beautiful and so elegant.
Here is a blue snake pattern. I see it as pillows or on an ottoman. Very pretty.
And crocodile skin….also Yiks!
But so very elegant and rough at the same time. We are using this one in a hotel lobby in Austin, Texas. It will be perfect. It has just a subtle reference to an upscale cowboy boot. and look at these colors and texture. Can’t beat it.
You can add just a throw pillow and it will give you an updated look. Very nice.

I found these really neat chairs. They definitely bring in a contemporary feel.
These are designed by furniture designer, Benjamin Hubert for Casamania.
