Today, I’m in Richmond for the IFDA Day of Design, hosted by the Virginia chapter of the International Furnishings and Design Association. I’m honored to be the keynote speaker for the event!
It will be held at the site of the 2012 Richmond Symphony Designer Show House, Pinifer Park.
It’s built in the type of architecture referred to as Queen Anne, which makes me think of lovely cabriole table, desk, bench, and chair legs! What a graceful shape! Want to see some favorites of mine?
I liked this table enough to choose it for my own Master Bedroom!
And this ornate, traditional bench is freshened-up with the bright, patterned fabric.
And you’re familiar with my D-I-Y desk, but have you checked out the legs on it?! So pretty!
This coffee table cuts a gorgeous silhouette don’t you think?
And how about these cabriole inspiration posts from Pinterest:

I’ll be back in the Natural State soon, but for now….I’m a lover…a cabriole lover

A small posse of friends joined me yesterday to hear you speak at Pinifer Park, and they’ve been converted to Tobi fans. You are as genuine in person as you seem on Tobi’s Blog, and your talent and acumen wowed us throughout your presentation. We look forward to following your new endeavors, and hope that you will come back to Richmond soon.
Tobi,
That picture of the turquoise desk just calls to me. Love it. I am curious about the paint color. I am crazy for the fact that you paired it with that orange chair and painted the legs on that too. Genius!

Thanks for the compliment–I always think this desk is one of my best-ever repurposed pieces! It’s SW6745 LARK GREEN.
