The perfect orange...

A few weeks ago, we were looking for the perfect orange for a pop of color in the store. We were originally going for the color of an Hermes box. So we tried a patch of Benjamin Moore's Calypso Orange. It was so neon! Next we tried Rumba Orange... still too tangerine. Then Jeweled Peach. Then we got it perfect... Tropical Orange! It's a deep, rich color with just enough coral in it. Let us know what you think!

It's Fall at Number Four Eleven...

A tweed chair with leather accents, a settee in Belgian linen, silk pillows with linen trim, horn cups & serving pieces, rattan baskets, cashmere throws and fig scented candles. It makes us want to have a cozy dinner party by a crackling fire!

A Chair of all Trades

A chiavari chair, pronounced (shih- vah-ree) is a versatile party favorite as well as an accent chair that can be dressed up to fit in any space. Most commonly, the chiavari chair is refered to as a "ballroom chair" or a "wedding chair". Their small scale (most of them only measuring 45" high x 14"wide) makes them ideal to use in front of a vanity or chest. This brass chiavari chair is the most common of its type, stemming from Italian roots. The bamboo chiavari chair is made of wood. These are used at events such as weddings. They can be painted to coordinate with a scheme or slip covered. In some cases, ribbons, flowers, or a cushion can be added to the chair to dress it up. This Lucite chiavari. A modern take on the traditional... very cool.A perfect example of a chiavari chair used as a desk chair. Petite but pretty. Every day usage... black painted chiavari chairs.

Even next to a large upholstered piece the chiavari chair has a great presence. Small in size, but large in impact. This is a photograph of Trina Turk's Palm Spring store that was designed by KWID.

Robert Redford in Savannah

Lucky for us at Number Four Eleven, Robert Redford's new movie "The Conspirator" is being filmed around the corner from the shop.

(Redford on the stairs at a house around the corner from the shop)

The film follows the extraordinary trial of Mary Surratt.
Surratt was a lone woman among those charged with conspiring to kill Abram Lincoln.
Our little neighborhood has become a trip back in time as the streets have been made to look like a scenes from the 1860's. Cobblestones and pavement are now covered in dirt and the actors are all dressed in civil war attire.

(Women in Civil War attire)

If you are in the neighborhood be sure to look for James McAvoy and Robin Wright Penn who are staring in the film.
Filming in Savannah is due to end in December.

Living room ideas...

Using a room by Lynn Morgan as design inspiration, these are some ideas for a new client's living room. They have kids and need a comfy and easy space for their family. She already had a great antique pine coffee table and a dark mahogany drum table. We started with a clean lined sectional sofa slipcovered in white cotton duck.
She already had these John Robshaw pillows from the shop and she loved the colors against the white couch.
A simple jute rug for the floor.


The Bungalow 5 "Jacqui" console table in a lacquered white finish for behind the sectional, serving as an entry hall table as well.
Two gourd lamps on the console. Maybe white or indigo blue...



Some more John Robshaw accent pillows.
The room is open to the kitchen, which is primarily white with a collection of blue and white china. So we added a touch of blue and white in the porcelain stool and pillows.
