Moroccan Dining Room By Lisa Farmer Designs

One of my own designs

I designed this dining room with a slightly Moroccan/exotic style. In order to provide more flexibility there are two antique tables that can be put together for length when needed or they can be separated for more restaurant style dining. The unique old mirror works great with the exotic feel of the room.

It is difficult to see in this photo but the old mirror is decoupaged in leopard. I also do custom real and silk floral design. The border is made of 2' X 7' fabric panels.

Antique Moroccan themed tapestry hangs on one wall.

All furniture and accessories were purchased by Lisa Farmer Designs

Marble topped English wash stand with inlaid door.

I also do seasonal design work. This was for Christmas last year. It is hard to see but monkeys and elephants are worked into this garland.

Decorating With Vintage Clocks

In the nick of time, a stitch in time, all in good time, the right time, just in time, time is of the essence. Time seems to be an of of great importance don't you think......especially since is is always running away from us. This post is dedicated to the beautiful instruments we use to measure this gift we have been given, and how they can be fabulously displayed in our interiors.......hopefully to remind us not to waste any of this valuable commodity.
