The quatrefoil or "four leaves" pattern has been a popular decorative motif for nearly 3,000 years. Resembling a clover, the quatrefoil enjoyed its peak popularity in window tracery, architectural detailing,  and furniture during the Gothic Revival and Renaissance periods.

    Hello!

    My name is Kristin and, if the blog name didn't give it away, I'm an interior designer. I'm also a self - proclaimed nerd, a grad student at SCAD-Atlanta, and a big fan of architecture, photography, travel, and iced chais. In a nutshell: I'm a lover of good design of all kinds.
