Groovin’ in Black & White

It’s so retro! From the patterned fabric on the custom sofa to the Saarinen Womb Chair and matching ottoman, this living room is so retro. The patterns create quite a groovy looking living area, doesn’t it?

The red Womb Chair, along with the orange throw pillow and blanket, act as the only true accents in the sea of black and white. I think the puppy also counts as an accent, right? And aww, look how comfy he looks!

Are the bursts of color enough to drown out the noise created from the black and white patterns and shag rug? Would you change anything about this room?

New @ Inmod: International Contemporary Design

Interesting and unique are two words that describe International Contemporary Design (ICD), a new line now available at Inmod.

ICD products add a new look to any space. The natural Suarina wood used to create many of the coffee tables, chairs, and accents is particularly impressive. The Suarina tree is non-endangered, non-indigenous, and fast growing. Besides the wood products, ICD also offers modern platform beds with amazing style.

ICD is such a cool, new line – you really need to check it out if you haven’t already!

Public Art/Hometown Pride

A few years ago, an exhibition called Cow Parade took New York City by storm: hundreds of life size fiberglass cows went on display, each one unique, designed & created by an artist. They were fun, inspiring, clever pieces of public art. At the end of the exhibition, the cows were auctioned off. Each year, this event takes place in different cities around the world, with new cows for the public to enjoy. I’ve since seen several riffs on this idea. Catskill, New York, located on the Hudson River, features a clowder (thank you, Wikipedia) of decorated cat statues every summer. They are auctioned off in the fall, with proceeds benefitting local agencies. Woodstock, New York, has, naturally, chosen to be represented by guitars. I was there last weekend, and got the chance to admire several in town. They’re designed by local artists, and Woodstock certainly doesn’t lack in the creativity department. Lastly, there is Buffalo, NY, in the same state but hundreds of miles away from NYC and the Hudson Valley, where Woodstock & Catskill are located. So what fiberglass figure do you think the fair city of Buffalo chose to represent their town? That’s correct: Canadian geese! Of course I’m joking. Buffalo is represented by buffalo. The Herd About Buffalo project raised money for cancer research and patient care at a local facility.
So, did I happen to stumble upon the only four towns/cities in America that have incorporated fiberglass sculptures into their public art displays, or have you heard of other places that do this?

Bubbles with a View

Well, the view is incredible, isn’t it? And I don’t mean just the view on the outside…

From the inside, out, this place is amazing! The large, glass windows, plus the varying wood textures and treatments from floor to ceiling, give this space such a unique look. The white sectional in front of the wood wall comes to life with the added colorful accent furniture and accessory décor. Oh, and we can’t forget the lounge area by the window – I mean, come on, it’s stunning! The view from the hanging bubble chairs must be absolutely breathtaking! Can you imagine making this your home? I would never leave the bubble chairs…

A Little Retro, Anyone?

Here we go… modern with some retro flare!

The grey and ivory modern sectional is perfectly complemented by two turquoise armchairs to create a beautiful conversational living room. The teal and orange accent pillows add just the right amount of color while the grey, ikat patterned pillows add just a little bit of fun to the otherwise neutral couch. To bring the look together, the designer added a white and chrome, arched floor lamp to the room, and wow did it complete the look! What do you think?

Create a Great Space: Bar Room

Grab yourself a couple of drinks or a glass of wine and head on over to your new Twin Peaks Bar Table. It doesn’t necessarily have to be in the bar area, you know that, right? Pair the table with four Bastille Barstools to create a unique and vintage space for drinks or casual dining. Place an accessory, like the Artecnica Transglass Double Vase, on the table and an interesting piece of wall decor, like the Sunburst Wall Clock, on the wall, and your new room is almost complete. To finish the look, the 1950’s-inspired sputnik lamp will add just the right amount of mid-century modern flare to your space. And don’t forget to dress up the space a little more with a large round area rug!
