February 2010—ADD SOMETHING WHITE!

A little snow, a little sleet, a few mud slides, freezing temperatures all add up to February blahs from San Diego to Richmond to Palm Beach. We seem to be a little edgy and dissatisfied because we're spending more time at home, looking at our surroundings and wondering how to brighten up and lighten up. Want bright and airy? There's nothing like WHITE to give a room immediate gloss! White leather or white vinyl on Barcelona Chairs sharpens our focus in any room. If not chairs, then add a Danish Holmegaard encased swirled white glass lamp from the 1960s. Lamps soften the edges in a room, especially at night. Table tops can look museum-curated with one or more white Rosenthal Studio Line ceramics, brightening dark or painted woods. A pair of 1960s Harvey Probber Lacquered Lounge Chairs are instant Hollywood glamour and can take a room over the top when coupled with a 1960s Paul McCobb Sofa and a 1960s James Mont Lacquered Casepiece. Add a hand woven 1960s Moroccan modern carpet, Italian 1960s String Chairs and a 1960s Italian Rose Petal Sputnik Pendant and several spaces become totally new and inspiring! Anything WHITE makes a room feel crisp and fresh and sharp. This week one of our clients said, "I recently got a wonderful modern rug which makes me happy to hunker down and stay home." So... bring on the snow and sleet and mudslides. We're staying home!
