Decorating and designing is my passion. I love art, creating art, looking at art and thinking about art! I've been around the world to see art, and to make beautiful environments for my clients. I create my own home accessories (including art!) for my clients and myself. I wrote a decorating column for 2 years so email me your decorating questions at hollyulmer@tx.rr.com. I look forward to answering any of your design questions.

French Charming!
I love this little French breakfast nook. With its grass paper walls, antiqued chandelier with crystal accents, and the pretty tone on tone table cloth with beaded crystal trim as well, is just adorable. The chairs were shipped in from Italy. They feature a stamped leather seat that I think juxtaposes the frilly chandelier extremely well. There were only four of these made. The oversized wall plaque is my favorite accent in this room. I bought it for this particular client before I even started thinking about this room. She wondered just what I was going to do with this gargantuan piece of tin. I think she thought I had gone too far. It turned out to be the perfect fit for her red Italian dishes and antique fleur di lis cup hooks! There are French accents all over this breakfast nook; French opera signs, some red and chocolate colored "Choclaterie" advertisements and of course the French gilt table underneath that cloth. Vin rouge si'l vous plait.
Beautiful. Needs Striped drapes?
