Living Room Options

I have always thought that  both Vicente Wolf and Darryl Carter did an outstanding job of placement of furniture in a room.  Each piece has it's purpose and there is a serenity about the space.  I think I can learn from them just by looking at their work.  I realize something new each time I look at the photographs.

"Blue Period" for Vicente Wolf

I recently posted Vicente Wolf's home when it was primarily neutrals.  I spoke of how I loved the fact that when he changed the colors of his home, the pieces remained the same.  One of my readers from Norway, Hello Helix, wanted a view of the blue.  Here are a few shots - and one of Vicente dressed in blue!  Look closely at the bookcase and you can see that the back of the wall is a shade of blue.  I think the "blue period" for Vicente Wolf is as beautiful as the neutral one.  In fact, its almost as if the blue becomes a neutral.

Design Genius: Vicente Wolf

 I recently came across these photos  of Vicente Wolf's home before he moved to the blue tones.  I love it both ways but what impresses me the most is that the pieces in the home remain primarily the same.  He recovers items but keeps them.  I admire that and prefer it to the throwaway culture we have embrassed.  Here is living proof that some rooms are absolutely timeless.

New Crush: Vicente Wolf

I love the perfect balance that Vicente Wolf manages to capture in his rooms.  I need to go out and buy Crossing Boundaries.  If not for any other reason, for the name of the book!
