Mother of Pearl

I love to see natural materials incorporated into a room's design and one of my favorite materials to play with is Mother of Pearl.  In case you aren't already a fan, Mother of Pearl is the substance that lines shells and mollusks. It has a quiet, shimmery quality that suggests glamour in a more understated way.  I went shopping for Mother of Pearl accessories and here are my favorite picks

And did you know that Mother of Pearl is the recommended serving platform for caviar? Apparently the chemical makeup of the Mother Pearl enhances the caviar and keeps it fresher longer.  Remember that the next time you serve caviar over at your place  :-)

And do you remember Traditional Home's spread a few months back that featured Jill Zarin's New York apartment?

Yes, those tables are covered in Mother of Pearl.  There's gotta be a DIY project here using these tiles
