This photo is from the October 2006 issue of Traditional Home. Sadly, I was so enthralled with the image that I ripped it out without so much as a tiny notation. I go back to it often. I think it is a beautiful example of what can happen when we combine modern & classic pieces together for everyday living. The three classic elements: the secretary, the floors and the wall color are balanced by the three modern elements: the artwork, pendant light with it's oversized shade, and the sculptural chair.
I would have never thought to put this chair(wish I knew more about it...so sexy!) in this space. I may have considered a Louis Ghost chair, but that's likely as far as I would have dared. I think I would have prefered to see maybe orange tulips on the desk instead of the roses and far less collectables behind the fretwork of the secretary. But maybe these elements are part of what makes it all work. Love it or hate it?
