If you’re going to do it, DO IT. That should be the banner hung over the entrance to a fantastic apartment I visited the other day. The client, a skillful collector with taste and wit, had summoned me for help only with her home office, so sadly, I can take credit for none of this…
This is her entryway. Luscious orange walls set off an eclectic display of an oil painting, an old metal sign, several pieces of folk art, a large mirror, and her grandparents’ bench and rug. You can’t really explain how to create a vignette like this; it either works or it doesn’t. This does.
She also has an unbelievable collection of Michael Corney Skull Cups (right). I’m not familiar with his work, but my client told me that on the back of each cup he puts a dream or desire (below). They’re excellent.
