This is your New Home

Wednesday, March 24, 2010

I must say that I think I found the perfect home for this fab ceiling fixture by Rico Espinet for Robert Abbey Lighting.  I love the modern and pared-down, but also historical, feel of it.  Just right for a proud new kitchen in a lovely old Victorian.

The Details

Thursday, March 18, 2010

One of the great things about this room are the cool nightstands with tons of storage.  Truth be known, they are actually mod baby dressers/changing tables made by the furniture-maker Oeuf.  They were the right look and the right height for this platform bed, so why not?  The other great detail is this clever headboard [...]

Cozy Spot

I’m loving that wallpaper is back (life is short, right?) and particularly grasscloth.  This room feels instantly cozy because of it.  I added a pop of color and we’re all set, now.

Bedroom on a Budget #1

Monday, January 25, 2010

Flea Market Find

Tuesday, January 19, 2010

I found this alabaster lamp, which is one of a pair, ages ago at a flea market.  It has worn many different shades, but I love this modern black lacquered drum one for now.  This is an easy, easy way to modernize or just update your lamps. Go for a bold contrast for maximum drama.

The Nut

Friday, January 15, 2010

This is the DWR “Nut” fixture which we added over the piano in this music room.  There are other plans for this space, but this fantastic fixture alone has transformed it.  I’ll keep you posted.

Modern Mix by Day/Bar by Night

Wednesday, January 6, 2010

I love a simple mix of one part modern, one part antique, and a splash of whatever works.  Ha. Seriously, using what you already have and what’s been handed down in new ways will make your home different from anyone else’s and will give it lasting character.  Don’t forget to change it up occasionally.  Keen [...]

Great Lamps

Monday, January 4, 2010

I love these double-gourd lamps we purchased for my client’s existing buffet & mirror.  It’s a reminder to never underestimate the importance of great lighting.
