copper and gold

A lovely apartment I did in Chicago. the mirror is fantastic don't you think? a beautiful guest room with custom bed and bedding. the chair is a family heirloom I had reupholstered in an animal print. a fabulous custom made curved vanity - stained in chocolate. copper and gold at it's best.   in my opinion this is the only gold a person needs. we miss our boy Cody - we lost him last year. LOVE.

red man

Red Man was found at a local art fair, the light fixture was found in the barn at a funky shop I go to often. Always remember to look up! Subway tile always look right. Another art fair find. Tweed and corduroy are friends.
