Let's Start Tying it Up

I love all things tactile. I am drawn to textures, surfaces, gloss, shine...anything that has a feel to it. Natural fibers are my favorite....cotton, jute, silk, and wool to be more specific. I thought these were creative ways to bring some texture into a beach house without going overboard {yeah, I said it}.

You will not believe how this one started out. The rope is custom colored...brilliant, I think.

Would you add some rope to your home?

I love so many of those images...especially the rope parsons table...

Lisa @ Shine Your Light said...

Hmmmm food for thought. I love the texture of it and these rooms are gorgeous - sophisticated with a touch of rustic rope. Kind of like baskets and wicker, another textural element.

I did already - though not a DIY, I have a rope lamp in my living room which I truly love and will never tire of I think. :-) Love those stairs -hmm.. I'm seriously thinking I can do that to my basement stairs! Gotta find me the rope 1st though. Thanks for the inspiration Linda!
