cornered in all the right ways!



this month, real simple magazine has a great little piece on how to transform dull corners.  whether it is a bedroom that could use some life or you've found your closet or bathroom just too tiny to really feel pampered in while dressing, we are delighted by the simple list needed to convert a lifeless corner into a space you'll love to live in!

item #1: amazing vintage mirror



ok, so they said a 'big mirror' but if you're going grand, why not do it with vintage elegance?  this gorgeous green gazing space is perfect for the job.  you'll feel style savvy no matter what you put on in front of this beauty.

which, by the way... already contains must-have item #2: a great hook for your robe or the dress you're ready to wear!

item #3:


you'll need a great ottoman - somewhere to sit and put on just the right shoes, or simply a warm spot to hold the items you're considering...  red's organic home couture line of upholstery is, we think, just the thing!  come in to our design center to give your corner ottoman the personality it needs: 1) just pick a shape you'll enjoy, something that helps set the mood and feel you want while primping, 2) choose from our lush and lovely fabrics and leathers to set the right color and texture, 3) select a leg or trim finish, including nailheads in various shapes and finishes... and you're ottoman will be almost as well dressed as you are!

item #4: a small table



red has so many accent table options, it was hard to choose a sample, but this piece just won't be ignored!  great legs, a warm and wonderful fabric finished top... wait, is that you or the table...?



finally, item #5: something pretty



again, how to choose?  but we love these two vintage sister prints.  fresh and fabulous, they look amazing next to the vintage mirror above, drawing out the leaves, and the red and gold will pull in the fabric top table palette - this is decidedly an ensemble to turn heads!
