Asian Watercolors

This pair of delicate Asian watercolors promote good feng shui for many reasons. The rich red textured wallpaper they are displayed on promotes stimulating conversation~the reason it's the most widely used colortone in restaurants. Nature & living creatures even in artwork promote longevity& bring harmony into the interior. Pairs denote good fortune. If you are seeking a partner you should always pair up your collections~never in groups of three or the lonely #1.

Classic Meets Modern

By combining elements of classic design with modern we have a melding of styles that suits this penthouse client just fine. The pair of Oscar de la Renta mother-of-pearl nesting tables & Century Brushed Aluminum mirrored side table juxtaposed with the classically pinstriped wing chairs & Masland custom area rugs in Regatta, Crimson & Sharkstooth. The antique Gustavian dining chairs in a fruitwood finish are paired with the naturally exotic deep finish of the Indonesian suar wood table base. Glass top keeps it light & airy. The alabaster pendant lights over the kitchen's center island is fresh & modern in brushed nickel.

Boudoir of Marie Antoinette

This is the boudoir of the infamous Marie Antoinette~lover of King Louis XV of 18th Century France. Madame de Pompadour as she was known had a penchant for interior design which she brought to the Palace of Versailles and The Petite Trianon. Her trellis designed wallpaper (fleuretted treillage) & architectural mouldings were embossed with 24k gold. The framed canopied bed acted to keep in warmth from the drafty palace~the fleur-de-lys (popular iris flower) motif is prominent in the ceiling rotunda. It is rather museum-like with the chairs pushed up against the walls as was customary at the time.

Inspirational Music Room

Open & Airy best describes this modern music room with elements of earth, fire, wind & sky~a peaceful place for a songwriter to channel divine energy! The architectural style is reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright with the stacked quartzite stone columns & expansive windows bring the outdoors in~another eastern influence loved by FLW.

The warmth of the wood gives this entrance foyer a welcoming & serene feeling! The large framed mirror lends visual depth & amplifies the space along with the lighting turning up the volume on STYLE!

Sliding Sculpture Reveals Home Theatre

In this exquisitely designed media/game room Holly Hunt sofa & chairs provide quality comfort while the Louise Nevelson sculpture appears to float on the walnut panels above the fireplace & slides up remotely to reveal the home theatre. The coffered ceiling displays light fixtures from Boyd thru the Jerry Pair showroom in DCOTA. Candleholders are from Urban Art Miami.

Modern & Warm Interiors

This warm modern dining space has both simplicity of design & the comfort for entertaining! The Spinnybeck leather banquette & custom table accomodates a maximum number of guests. The light fixture is from Holly Hunt. Chairs are Berman Rosetti thru David Sutherland. The geometric area rug adds texture and mimics the handrail of the stairs. The wall scupture in warm wood adds visual depth to the room.
