Awesome Richmond Products & Resources--part 3
Captivative Concrete creates stamped concrete anything! Walkways, floors, fireplaces, tub surrounds all of the stuff you have seen. What caught my attention was how realistic some of their stamped textures are. Check out this
faux bois! Think of it on the wall of a "woodland" bathroom or a mudroom. I could also use at as a table top for a coffee table--very unique and very durable.
They are located in Studley, Virginia. You can reach them at 804.779.3995.
Their website is under construction.

Contemporary Furniture in Richmond
"I am so decorating my house like this when I grow up!", SSR exclaims as she is walking out the door!
CS hugged her favorite chair as she said good-bye!
My 5th and 6th graders loved the colors, the comforts and fun on their field trip today!
Sarah gives the girls a tour of all of the offerings at LaDiff. We looked at office furniture, lighting, dining tables, plates, counter stools, kid's bedroom furniture, lounge chairs, sofas and the recycled cardboard mounted animal heads!
You can visit them yourself to check it out in person (14th & Canal Street)
or view some of it on line:
www.ladiff.com
What is hidden behind that door?
Just checking out some the kid's furniture on the 3rd floor!
Enjoying some of the cool chairs...and relaxing!

Orange for the Interior
We all need a little extra Vitamin C during this cold snap! I would like to share a special recipe for one of my yummy martinis.
I have also provided a child friendly version!
Plan ahead, the vanilla sugar takes a month to make! (or borrow some of mine)
In a martini shaker with ice mix:2 oz. Vanilla Vodka1 oz. Orange Liqueur
2 oz. Orange Juice
Let this chill while you prepare the glass.
Dampen the rim of the glass with a bit of lemon. Dip the rim in the vanilla sugar* to coat.
Add 1 oz. of Sprite or & Up to the shaker, gently shake and pour!
*Vanilla Sugar
Fill 3/4 of a Mason Jar with sugar. Add a vanilla bean that has been split open lengthwise being careful not loose any of the vanilla granules. Place the bean in the jar and seal it tight. Shake the jar every few days until it is ready.
For those under 21 try this variation:
2 oz. Orange Juice
4 oz. of Seltzer
You can add a little Sprite or 7 Up to sweeten it a bit if you like!

Interior Design Selections
I am teaching Interior Design to a group of 5th & 6th graders at St. Catherine's School in Richmond! For our first class I gave them a chance to make fabric and color selections for a either a living room, dining room or bedroom. I have posted the designs here! Enjoy!
This living room group must have been inspired by nature! I love the combination of green, tan and ivory.
The dining room has a blend of cool greys for a very sophisticated tonal look.
The bedroom group went for cool blue with a warm chestnut and rose accent.

End Tables
This is the first in a series of pages from my High Point Notebook!
This month we will focus on Occasional furniture:
end tables, cocktail tables, shelving and more!
The steamer trunk look in stainless, leather and mock crocodile; these would make great night tables or end tables in a family room.
Many tables had metal bases with great textures or motifs.
The finishes varied from refined to aged.
There were a variety of sizes--something to fit every need.
The shapes were often amusing!
