Reserved Suzani



Name:

Cindy

Location:

Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts

Division:

East

Colors Used


Mustard, Poppy, Turquoise, Grey

Color Inspiration


I like looking at suzani fabrics, kilim rugs, sari fabrics, and such (even though I don't have any of these!). I like the way they mix colors in a fun way. I wanted to introduce lots of different colors into my room, but without going too crazy, since I wanted it to still feel peaceful.

Color Tips


I like to keep a neutral background (white and grey) and have accents of color around.

Great display of natural wood, unique pieces, open space and earthy colors what an excellent balance!

A window seat with a bookshelf underneath is a little utopia, in my opinion!

Hi, it's Cindy. Thank you for all the kind comments! :)

Kristen, the grey paint is Benjamin Moore White Water. It's a light grey with blue undertones.

Wonderful home design! Is the light fixture over the dining table from CB2? Also, would love to know where you got your dining table from.

Thanks!

Love this kitchen! Cindy - where did your overhead lights come from?

The lights are from CB2, and I clustered 3 in a row.

The dining table was custom-made by David Ellison at Lorimer Workshop in Rhode Island. I think his tables have been featured on Apartment Therapy before. He's really great--he worked with me from beginning to end to make sure that the table turned out just how I wanted it! I first visited his workshop to get some ideas, and then ended up sending him a photo of a live-edge table I really liked that had metal legs. He was able to weld the legs himself. Later, I visited his workshop again to see the options for stains in person. After I picked one and he sent me photos of the stained table, I asked for it to be tweaked just a bit, and he did exactly what I requested. I'm so happy with the table!

I love the kitchen. Where is the red and white rug from?

Thanks! It's the Brita Sweden Anna rug. I bought it from Scandinavian design center, but it's also available from other websites.

Loved the feel of open space in your home. Your choice of fabrics was excellent.

Nice, I like, but I think some kilims on the floor could look awesome!
