Featured on The Highboy again!

Happy to see a pair of my vintage throw pillows featured on The Highboy right now!  I love this guide to using black in interiors, always a dramatic and sophisticated look.

VINTAGE THROW PILLOWS NOW AVAILABLE!

I am happy to announce my line of custom throw pillows, all created from original, vintage, mid-century textiles is now available!  

For the past few months I have been on the hunt for mid-century fabrics that showcase a different side of modernism; not just the typical Eames-style, playful, atomic-age version of the period (not matter how great these textiles can be), but instead a more Hollywood Regency, updated historic, artistic side.  

I was on the hunt for textiles the Grand Dames of interior design like Dorothy Draper or Madeleine Castaing might use.  Textiles that are bold, painterly and elegant, and would feel right at home in a modern interior (or atop any of my restored antique or vintage seating pieces!)  

To introduce these new products, all are discounted now through January 1st.  All below reflect pricing including down pillow insert, but are all available without insert upon request.  I do have some additional fabric if you are interested in additional pillows.

Contact me direct to arrange for payment and shipping; gift wrapping is also available for the holidays!

Silken Scribbles, single boudoir pillow, 12x16, from 1950s Japan, 100% silk front.  Dynamic and delicate deep navy lines scribe across the bright coral background of this delicate silk.  A chic, uptown take on the Atomic Age.

NEW PROJECT PHOTOS

I am happy to share photos of my latest home renovation completed with the RENU Crew, a fantastic renovation and real estate company in Salt Lake City.

I love renovating mid-century homes that had undergone some poorly thought-through changes sometime in the 70s or 80s.  It is very satisfying demo'ing avocado or mustard kitchen cabinets in order to make way for a cleaner, more true modernism.  Not to mention shag carpeting.

This is such a project, a house with great mid-century bones that needed some updating and restoring.  I think the results are fantastic, with a large open-plan living space clad with rich, bold materials set against clean white walls.

All the bathrooms were gutted as well; expanding them where possible and keeping all materials fresh and light with accents of rich charcoal and black to add some punch and depth.

The basement was completely finished, with a fantastic media room-

And the best part of this project is that it is now on the market!  Anyone looking for a new home?  Check out the listing here!
