The cool thing is that each of us has a different idea of what we like or don’t like (if you work in a gallery you will quickly see how there can be one painting, and the comments throughout the day are so varied “love it”/”hate it”, “don’t get it”/”it speaks to me”, “I LOVE the color palette”/”I hate those colors” – it is so interesting!) – which is a GOOD thing. Our house was very classic in design. Some antiques, some new pieces, but something was lacking. We have since fallen in love with the Mid-Century Modern furniture. The classic pieces are so amazing! There is a reason you see them in museums! Those pieces are EXACTLY what our rooms needed!
I love when people mix styles. A little of this, a little of that – it adds interest. If everything is formal or modern, etc. I think you miss the highlights. In this setting above, we have an antique pine armoire, a mahogany chest, a stunning marble coffee table (Plinth), a Grasshopper Floor Lamp (lines are STUNNING), Eames Wire Base Low Table (love this simple table!) and the piĆØce de rĆ©sistance… the LCW chair designed by Charles and Ray Eames for Herman MillerĀ® – it’s technical name is the “Eames Molded Plywood Lounge Chair”. Plywood. Yes. With a Santos Palisander finish that is so beautiful and evokes such style. It’s a treasure! Let me tell you, there is no more comfortable chair! It’s remarkable!
We love art, and have a lot of it, pictured above on the left from top to bottom: Ken DeWaard, Elizabeth Pollie, Darrell Hill. On the windowsill: Robert Abele, on the right (top to bottom): Don Stone, Michael Zarowsky and Betty Anglin Smith.
