Tufted Beauties

If you like eclectic home decor you have probably viewed the online Lonny magazine. If not, visit as soon as possible please. It is so inspiring. The current issue has a feature showcasing the work of designer Angie Hranowsky. She is amazing. Her story is also inspiring to me because she was not trained as an interior designer when she got her start. She decorated her own home and everyone who saw it thought she was a decorator for a living.  Metropolitan Home featured her house and soon she became one of the most sought-after decorators in South Carolina.

This photograph of Angie's work in this month's issue of Lonny reinforced my love of all sofas tufted. Seriously, I love!

Look at that beautifully layered room and that gorgeous sofa.

So I started my own hunt for my imaginary living room with my matching imaginary large budget. Tufted sofas seem to be hot right now as it appears most furniture design sites carry a line of the sofas.

Here is a beautifully unique deep sapphire leather sofa from Anthropologie. The price however might be beyond even what my imaginary budget allows but imagine what a statement it would make in a room. 

This lovely linen number is from Restoration Hardware. Swoon. So pretty. So at a loss of words.

Here is a pretty little settee from West Elm. West Elm really has been killing it design wise lately.Compared to the previous pieces this clean-lined settee is affordable. 

Great design is not out of reach for those who can not or chose not to spend thousands on a single piece of furniture. By now you probably know of my love of craigslist. What a great place to find vintage pieces that add so much visual interest to a room. Here is a lovely blue velvet tufted settee found today on the Minneapolis/St. Paul Craigslist. How beautiful is that. Maybe our next apartment should have two living rooms because I just finished decorating ours but I love this piece.

Enjoy your weekend and be inspired by the beauty around you.
