I love
anything with an Ethnic flare. I think we inside we wish we could travel as the
Hemingway's and Roosevelt's of yesteryear. The original accessories for the home were found
while traveling. Now through the magic of the worldwide web and the help
of interior designers one can have that eclectic traveled look without having
to get on a plane.
One well traveled
interior influence that I love is the African influence. It is seen added to so
many spaces these days. I am incorporating it into a client's home at the
present, and it all started with a piece of art! You too can add these touches
to your space and they work well in almost any style interior from country to
traditional. Enjoy!

Cannot say enough about African rugs! |

These carved door as gorgeous and would be fabulous with barn door wheels as room partitions or even used as tables with glass tops etc! |
I think African baskets are so beautiful. Lovely textures and patterns. I used to work at the Smithsonian Institution, and would go to the African Museum of Art frequently.

Those headdresses are amazing! I think I saw another project image somewhere that had one on a wall and I didn't know what it was. Thanks for the explanation!
