My newest Obsession: Damask Pattern

Been keenly eying this pattern a lot lately. I love how its intricate, yet bold, and fun, yet classy it is. All the way around, its a great pattern!


This room is a little too pink for my own personal taste, but I do enjoy looking at it. Some day, I am going to own chairs just like these ones (maybe a different color- but if somebody handed these ones to me, I would be much grateful and keep them!)


This image from Decor Pad, is one of my all time favorite images. That gold damask wallpaper in those panels is to die for! I am really interested in seeing that other pink and gold piece of furniture too...

Damask drapes really bring in the drama! *These would be cute in a teenage girls room*

Damask martini glass and shaker. Sophistication to the max! From This Next

I adore ANY damask rug. It doesn't really matter the color, size, shape- I love them all! They really bring the pattern into any room, but are still subtle, and gentle at the same time. Isn't this play room from Bungalow Insanity fabulous! I just love the green walls, with the pink lamps- and that pic in the middle is ADORABLE!

Damask Lamp shades from Shades of Light
*Keeping a mental note of this* When I get tired of my boring white lamp shade, this would be a great upgrade- or for the lamp I am going to make for the bedroom could be spiced up with this lovely pattern.

Mirrored Damask votive holders are a great addition to any space! They are especially festive too! Found at Style Unveiled







Damask wall decals from Etsy
I would love these above my bed! Its a great alternative to wallpaper, especially if you are a renter- like me











Reclaimed wood frame. This would be a really fun and cool project to do! I'm sure it could be made pretty easily, and would make a great holiday gift to a loved one with a cute pic inside! Found at Green Your Decor

Talk about a stylish way to add glam to your fridge!

  1. Because CLT is typically prefabricated in a manufacturing facility, it is immediately ready to be installed upon arrival at the job site. This creates a streamlined process and eliminates unnecessary construction solutions laminated wood waste as very few pieces, if any, need to be cut and formed on site. Lend Lease estimates that the use of CLT shaved 30% off of the total build time, reduced construction traffic, and eliminated more waste than a typical concrete structure.

    Here in New York City, we are also starting to see the fruits of forward-thinking developers and architects. 475 West 18th Street, a ten-story, high-end condominium building with a wood structure won a competition sponsored by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). An incredible example of the potential for wood modular house construction this project left timber columns and beams exposed where possible. It was a deliberate aesthetic move that will showcase the building’s timber construction as a selling feature. The project, designed by Shop Architects, is a testing ground for the architects in order to use CLT on other projects.

    Both Forte and 475 West 18th Street are excellent examples of the capabilities of CLT and mass timber products. However, they may only represent humble beginnings to a larger, taller trend. In Vancouver, an 18-story dormitory at the University of British Columbia recently topped out and a 24-story mixed-used hotel cross laminated timber companies and apartment project is being developed in Vienna, Austria. In addition, research completed by SOM in 2013 and 2014 found that a 42-story wood high-rise is feasible with current technologies.

    A tower of this height would reduce its carbon footprint by upwards of 75% when compared to a concrete or steel tower of the same height. These current and future tests will be important for the CLT and mass timber industry as economies of scale continue to reduce clt manufacturers and material waste while increasing carbon sequestration in comparison to typical high-rise construction. All projects point to a prosperous future for CLT and the potential for a game-changing material in the construction industry.
