Audubon Canvas Backed Duck |
All design projects have a creative starting point, that something that starts the ball rolling. For a recent library I designed, it was Audubon's Canvas Back Ducks. The homeowner, with an international lifestyle, wanted something indigenous to the area, something that would relate the interior to it's location.

fabric selections |
After the print was chosen, I selected fabrics using the soft shades of blues, greens and tans from the ducks' surroundings. Our goal was to capture some of the serenity of the marsh.

Library and breakfast room |
I pulled the deep red from the ducks head for accent pieces like the ox blood lamp and the ginger jar.

Seagrass carpeting, rush seat benches and natural fiber window shades add an organic touch.
