Seashells by the Seashore: February Giveaway

Natural, Nautical, and almost ORganic

The winner must live in the US and if out of state we will mail the accessories to you.
There is a design trend, or shall I say movement, referred to as "Vintage Revamped".  I have heard that "Today’s consumer has a nostalgic affinity for treasured pieces that remind them of the past…
but they do not want their homes to look like a museum. "
Sea bottles with various toppers-shells, coral, old chandelier crystals, make great accessories. We get something that is not only beautiful but one of a kind. Like us, of course. :)
Natural, Nautical, and almost Organic. Whats not to love?


These two lovelies came from a boutique in Falmouth, Maine.  I will be giving them away when Fiore's facebook page hits 400 fans.

TREND REPORT-Or is it? Wallpapered Ceilings.

I believer in using wallpaper sparingly and with a purpose.
I hear buzz about this "trend"...wallpapering the ceiling only.
I love this room.
BUT I don't agree it is a new trend.

Mary Poppins circa 1964...that's damask wallpaer on the ceiling!


Elsie De Wolfe in the 1940's

Below are other great examples of using wall paper on a ceiling only, and remember A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY! :)




If wallpaper is something you are interested in but could use guidance, feel free to contact Fiore Interiors for a free intial consultation.

Old Hollywood Glamour-The home of Dita Von Teese


I encourage you to head over to InStyle to see the photos in all their glory.
Lee Jofa Wall paper. Silk everywhere. How appropriate!

I enjoy seeing a home that is both a complete departure from everyday life AND a reflection of its owner.
