Inspired Dining.

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

I saw this dining room in atHome Magazine and fell madly in love with the chairs (which are antiques covered in a Robert Kime silk and then vinylized). I also think the antiqued mirror with trellis overlay is so interesting but all I can think about is DUST! It would be a full time job to clean those little crevices and corners!

Room designed by Caccoma Interiors.

Lucite and Vintage and Green, Oh My!

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

My cousin-in-law Courtney and her flawless eye spotted this little number at Christies and thought of me (and Sea Island, GA!) Up for grabs are a pair of vintage lucite framed headboards with fabulous kelly green fabric inserts, matching bedskirts and upholstered storage chests (for the foot of the bed). Check it here. The estimate for the lot is so low….I wish I had a very funky beach house to put these in.

A Fabulous Dresser, Anyone?

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

I have a client selling this vintage faux bamboo dresser ( it doesn’t quite fit in the space we need it to). It’s needs a smidge of TLC, but if you want to put in some elbow grease, picture it in glossy white or a color! AMAZING-very Pieces…. :) If I had room and time I would snag it myself!
$200- located in Back Bay, Boston. Let me know if you are interested!
