An Elegant and Decadent Artist's Loft at The Design House

My room at The Design House is styled as an artist's loft.  You'll notice my favorite design elements throughout--black, the color that always shows up with me, mixes of modern with vintage, layering upon layering upon layering, chippiness next to elegance, and always architectural elements. 

 I hope you'll enjoy the images as much as I enjoyed styling the room.

The caned-back sofa is behind a coffee table that I created from two different pieces. 

 The curvy base originally had a glass top.  

Now it supports a Tuscan scene painted on a round board. 

 Under it all is a wool "zebra" rug. 

I used a Victorian folding screen as a back drop for the Mid Century Modern bar cart.

The panels on one side of the screen are covered in a vintage English chintz.

The reverse side is solid brown linen.

This would be a perfect headboard.

I love everything about this chippy vintage double bow front dresser.

The bookshelves are Mid Century modern.  I put them next to each other rather than separated.

The sunburst mirrors hang where the bookshelves meet.

Of course there's an easel with a portrait in oil on canvas.

The desk is wire mesh with a glass top and could easily be a unique bar.

It is styled as a work space.  Above is a framed map of Rome.

A vintage stool is desk seating.  New leopard fabric, double cording and nail head trim accent it.

The wall to the left of the doorway.

I combined the over-sized bound New York Times  volumes with
 a deconstructed antique stool to create a small side table.

I used a sofa table on the right side of the room.  It holds more art supplies on its surface.

In the background is a spice cabinet with many drawers.  

In the foreground I created clip boards with old book covers.

Vintage French post cards are tucked into a book folded accordion style.

She rides too.   

I hope to see you all next weekend.

A big thank you to Amy, Suzanne, and the whole Design House team

 for the opportunity to work with your fabulous group again.
