Putting a room together is always a lot of fun but not when it's my own. So I've used Ric as my client and the results for our new Living Room will be very masculine and a bit reserved with comfortable furniture and a lack of any fuss. We haven't settled on art work yet and of course HIS favorite bookcase must have pride of place.
Luckily for me Ric's fond of Library furniture.This is a great old chair in a beautifully worn green leather
A modernist 'skyscraper' pedestal will live between the two windows and on it we'll place a 19c Barbedienne bronze
A long Jean Michel Frank style sofa that will be done in slate blue velvet. There will also be two armchairs in brown glove leather
Leaving bids on a pair of 19c lamps ....perhaps we'll win them.
Fabrics; all cashmere for curtains in soft and muted earth tone.I've also found some 17thc scraps that will become pillows......
the blue goatskin on upper right is for four Madeleine Castaing chairs which are going to live in the Library/dining Room we're discussing a japanese inspired wallpaper .....but that's another story altogether
The room is anchored by a mid 19c Persian Heriz in muted tones
It will be beautiful!! I'm a great client because I let you do what you want haha! Well everything except the artwork and my bookcase!! Can't wait!!
