I just finished this job today...It's all in The Mix.

I think my client was surprised when I confessed that her home was the most fun that I have had designing for some time. And you ask why? Because they let me mix it up like nobodies business!

This couple has a sophisticated style. They also understand how important it is to mix.

Mix Styles, Colors, Patterns and Proportions.

I started with the Italian white lacquered dining table and used a Danish modern 1960's buffet topped with a gorgeous piece of white Carrara marble. The host and hostess regency chairs are Italian black lacquer with black and ecru colored demi -slipcovers. The side chairs are brown leather. To keep it all from floating away, my client and I designed the multi colored striped rug.

Then to throw it off and keep it from being too matchy ...we introduced the raw wood light fixture with Mercury glass bulb. The black and white photos are from my client's Europen travels. The yellow wall color ties into what is happening in an adjacent room. (I will share more photos when the photographer takes some shots in April.) I want to thank my clients for being lovely people to work with and trusting me and being open to the process of interior design!
