Please double-click on Image for Enlargement This surprisingly elegant, refreshingly beautiful dining-room was created for a charity event.  Extensive
use is made of  a vividly contemporary blue-and-white large-scale floral print, at once both modern and
traditional.  Designed in 1947 in Sweden, it lends itself with grace and style to this handsome setting.  
Accents of silver, crystal & platinum-rimmed china are surmounted by an enormous arrangement of
white tulips in a vintage silver compote, flanked by blanc-de-chine mirror figurines of Kuan-Yin, the
Buddhist goddess of mercy.
An Office for a Creative Executive.  Handsome, contemporary furnishings in cordovan-finished
walnut are complemented by rich, deep blue antique-leather wall surfaces and shimmering draperies
in taupe silk taffeta.  Hand-blown Murano glass lamps, a matching pair, add light & colour.  A
backdrop of sunflowers on royal blue wool provides warmth & texture.
This cinnabar-red round
lacquer box adds a delightful
spot of colour on the desk.
Silk-paper flowers, oversized,
are a lively and exotic accent
inside this charming boutique.
 An upscale Boutique for the Cosmopolitan Woman.  Located in the Bucktown neighborhood of
Chicago, this refreshingly modern shop combines the best of classic design & fashion-forward
ideologies.  Drapery panels in striking colours of salmon pink & raspberry contrast with vintage
mid-century modern chairs in fuchsia & plum velvet with hot pink piping & turquoise velvet throw
pillows.  A vintage stainless-steel table, a find at a warehouse, collects a lively display of ornaments,
jewlery & flowers.
This painted mural, in bright, vibrant colours inspired by contemporary clothing trends, forms an
exciting backdrop to the gleaming white sales counter.  Fashion takes center stage with
appropriately-dressed mannequins, accessories and shopping bags all reflecting the tones of the
mural....or perhaps the roles are reversed.  Is life imitating art, or just inspiring it?
A Gentleman's Sitting Room.  The simplicity & serenity of a monochromatic colour scheme is raised
to new levels of sophistication in this elegant interior.  Enticing shades of golden yellow are employed
throughout, from pale mustard chenille wall-covering to draperies in deep saffron silk taffeta,
highlighted by a sofa in cream-coloured mohair velvet.  Deeper shades of caramel mohair accent the
flanking arm-chairs;  further accents of colour are provided by a gold lacquer box & an antique velvet
throw pillow.  An antique Persian rug establishes a vivid yet subtle foundation.
A Foyer for a Traditional Home.  Black-and-white checkerboard floor tiles, laid diagonally, offer
enlargement & expansion of this rather contained space.  Vermillion-red walls create an exciting
backdrop for the owner's collection of blue-and-white export porcelain.  A vintage lowboy in cherry
holds a superb lamp of imported crystal with a cream silk shade.  A welcoming chair in soft celadon
green moired silk awaits the returning traveller.
