ADD FORM AND FUNCTION


Vintage and reproduction Dutch tiles offer personality—and cover lots of
bases. Arrange them in clusters, or in a band down the center of the table,
and use them as trivets, or place them individually as coasters.
THE DETAILS: Pavé Tile, Wood & Stone reproduction Dutch tiles (top left and center,
and top to bottom at right), from $4.25 each, pavetile.com.


CREATE MOOD LIGHTING


Opposite: With a quick dip in tinted wax, even simple tapers turn into works of
art. Just lower the ends into melted colored wax and let them dry. Then keep
things interesting by placing them in an assortment of candlesticks: Some of
these are vintage; others are from a crafts store. For the how-to, see page 148.
THE DETAILS: Unfinished wooden candlesticks, from $1.25 each, craftparts.com.
Sinhala Sidewall wallpaper, in Sky, price upon request, fschumacher.com.
