nothing wrong with a bit of color...

or a bit of pattern- we're using lots of both in a project we've been working on for a while now, and which is finally coming to fruition! (you may recognize some of these elements from past posts...)

the above custom-made big, fat, down pillows, covered in an inexpensive pink & white ikat print,  will dress up the below traditional camel-backed skirted sofa (replacing the black and white pillows shown in the stock photo). 

we are bringing lots of color, pattern and shine into this apartment transformation- all will help to distract from the deadly dull beige carpet we were stuck with throughout (see, there is a method to our cheerfully colorful madness!)

our client selected a chrome wire warren platner coffee table for in front of the sofa in the living area, to keep things fresh and modern:

a little classic modernism is always a good thing- in the dining area we are using a another mid-century classic, a carrera marble-topped saarinen table)

on the opposite side of the large room, in the pink-walled dining area, we're using these amazing refinished vintage faux-bois chairs, recovered in trina turk indoor/outdoor "zebra" fabric by schumacher, around the mentioned modern classic saarinen table.

we are LOVING using indoor/outdoor fabrics whenever possible these days- not even ted's muddy paws (or your drunken clumsy guest's spilled cocktail) will harm the sofa or chairs, both of which are covered in it.

we added this lantern to the dining area as well (which took 6 months to walk here from china, and still arrived with damage- not so happy with the process, but the end result is pretty):

and this mirror from empiric (which seems to be becoming a m21 staple- it looks so fab that we've used it twice in the past year and just specified it yet again for a new project):

some major pieces haven't arrived yet- like the dining table (back-ordered), and a mirrored media console (again, back-ordered!), but once we've got 'em, and done a 'lil accessorizing,  we can't wait to share how all of these wildly disparate elements will come together to create a chic and happy home!
