THE CE LOVES: QUADRILLE - ARBRE DE MATISSE

Quadrille’s Arbre de Matisse wallpaper and fabric has been used in countless projects around the globe and there is no question why. It is bold but the pattern and colorway offerings are as such to where it can be used in any space: from nursery to kitchen to den.

A brief history of both the print and Quadrille from Architectural Digest: Tasked with designing Woodson Taulbee’s Manhattan studio apartment in the 1960’s, American decorator Billy Baldwin found inspiration in a brush-and-ink work by Henri Matisse in which a jet-black tree stands silhouetted behind two women at a table. Baldwin tapped illustrator friend Jay Crawford to translate the Matisse into a repeating motif that Taulbee, the man behind Woodson Wallpapers, could turn into a wallpaper and fabric for the space. Crawford, who opened his own textile brand, Quadrille, in 1969 would eventually begin producing Woodson Wallpapers’ patterns, and the company has been hand-screen-printing Arbre de Matisse ever since.

COCKTAIL HOUR

Who else is ready to entertain again? I am in the process of converting a sun room into a full wet bar and have been looking high and low for inspiration. While I think we will land on a lacquered finish for the cabinets, walls and trim, these have been some of my favorites.

RATTAN, WICKER & WOVENS

There is no surprise here that we love decorating with textures. It makes a room feel interested and layered - giving it a warmth that makes it inviting. Some might associate it with beach only but here are some of our favorite looks to make you think otherwise.

FRAMED WALLPAPER PANELS

One of our favorite design trends has to be framed wallpaper panels!  Its an easy way to update a room without having to repaint or wallpaper the entire thing.  We love the look of a custom hand painted Gracie or de Gournay chinoiserie panel but you can get the same look with pre-printed wallpaper as well.  Schumacher Chinois Palais has some gorgeous versions in a few different colors as well as Brighton Pavillion (by Miles Redd).  Here are some of our favorite looks!

ONE OF A KIND HOMES

Welcome to Maison CE!  This arm of my design company began when I kept hearing the same thing over and over again from friends - they didn’t need to re-do their entire house, only a few spruce ups here and there - new pillows for couches and fun wallpaper for a powder bath.  They knew exactly what they wanted (there are so many inspiring photos online, in magazines and from interior decorators they loved) but did not want to have to hire a full-scale interior designer to achieve the look.

Fast forward to the creation of Maison CE.  We help you purchase designer fabrics and wallpapers that you would typically have to hire an interior decorator for (or purchase from online outlets at a premium!). Maison CE has relationships with showrooms and manufacturers (Phillip Jeffries, Sister Parish, Schumacher just to name a few!) and can help you purchase exactly what you want to make your home one of a kind!  Maybe you only want some wallpaper for a bathroom or maybe you have this gorgeous vision planned out and need something for every room - the works.  No project is too small! Maison CE will help bring your design creation to life - and all at up to 40% off retail and online prices!

Check out our process and please send an e-mail if you would like a sample or a quote on an item - we look forward to working with you!
