<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was introduced to the Liberty London department store and its art fabrics when I was a teenager living in England. Established by Sir Arthur Lasenby Liberty in 1875, the company now has an archive of 45,00 prints and they continue to create and collaborate with other brands in a variety of industries. Though I favor their art nouveau prints, their aesthetic is so distinctive that I can recognize one of their florals at a glance. Their partnerships have spanned from Vans to TOMS and S'well to Anthropologie. As the landscape of brick and mortar stores is changing, innovating to reach new audiences is the surest way for a heritage brand to remain relevant.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A while back I wrote <a href="http://shemovesthefurniture.blogspot.com/2014/10/to-build-living-room.html">this post</a> considering how I would put together my living room if I were starting from scratch. Since I've always had an interest in commercial design, I thought I'd put together my version of a restaurant idea -- imagining that I wasn't limited by budget, real estate constrictions or other people's opinions ;). I'd start with an entry pathway that was reminiscent of a Japanese garden. Some might consider it a waste of bankable square footage, but I would view it as setting the tone for an evening of relaxed fun. I love this moon gate designed by Terry Welch, though I would add more surprise elements to the pathway overall -- areas of dense bamboo, arts-and-crafts patterned stone sunken into the pebbled pathway, lots of curves and unexpected lighting. Glow-in-the-dark pebbles would be </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">sparingly scattered at the entrance and then densely packed at the end of the path so that their light would beckon guests. The interior lighting would have a bit more of an understated glamour, such as Magic Circus' Neon Wall Lights and the Argent Metal Pendant Lamp. These modular sofas and accent chairs by <span style="background-color: white;">Gebrüder Thonet Vienna would be strategically placed around the main space to create pockets of privacy and corners to turn without actual walls being built. The dining table heights would be adjusted for the casual seating. In reference to Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, the dining and accent tables would be made of concrete and gold leaf.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> The accent tables below are designed by Harow Studio. The dining table is by Ben Uyeda. The chinoiserie wallpaper would throw a cultural curveball into the mix. And wood and pastel dishware like these that I styled for ABC Carpet & Home would round out the table settings. The menus would be inspired by the Omoshiro Block stationary by Triad, perhaps with thicker pages made out of carved cardboard. And that's just to start... </span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Whether good or bad, a movie can keep me interested based purely on the quality of its set design. While watching <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0460890/">The Only Living Boy in New York</a> recently, I found myself generally enjoying the views I was getting of various New York city locations. But when the above scene came up of the protagonist returning to his family home, I almost swooned. Since I'm tall, I've always been a fan of kitchens that opt out of over-hanging cabinets, preferring to have an unencumbered prep area. Seeing the bare space above the counter tops used as a canvas for the beauty of slab marble was a first for me. Now my eye is trained to notice gray and white marble slab and I'm loving the dramatic effect. Though it's most often found in kitchens, bathrooms and commercial spaces, I'd love to employ it on a wall in a woman's dressing room/closet. It would allow for the hard/soft textures and masculine/feminine contrast that creates balance in residential spaces. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">One of my favorite trends to come out of the Fall 2017 runways is that the midi skirt has been fully embraced. It has been making an appearance in the last couple of years, but there was no ignoring it during the Fall shows. Valentino, Dior and Carolina Herrera all featured strong looks with mid-calf length skirts. I've long been a fan of the tailored looks of the 1970s, of which the midi skirt is a staple, so I'm celebrating this development. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The color pink hasn't played a prominent role in my wardrobe or decor since my late teens when I deliberately abandoned it in favor of more grown-up hues. But the rose gold trend drew me back in to such a degree that I even covered one wall of my living room with a soft blush wallpaper (below). Ever committed to keeping a feminine/masculine balance, I planted a vintage Texan leather rocker in front of it to keep the pink from feeling too sweet. The wallpaper, it turns out, now represents the point of no return. For better or worse, I have embraced the pink.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What I'm drawn to in commercial design is the same idea that I'm drawn to in home environments -- I love to see an element of risk. The style may not reflect my own tastes but if I see something I've never seen before done successfully (whether in a Scandinavian country house or a minimalist hotel lobby), I'm an instant fan. Commercial spaces allow a designer to take an idea and see it through to an extreme that might feel cold or calculating in a residence. But because commercial visuals are designed to draw consumers in at least once, they can be over-the-top. Drama may not be welcomed in everyday life but in commercial design, it's bank. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Maybe it's because 1970s boho style represents a vital strand of my design tastes, but I've recently found my eye drawn to design elements that incorporate or find inspiration from agate, geodes and other minerals. I received an agate cheese plate for Christmas (which I love despite the fact that I'm vegan) and I've since been paying more attention to other pieces I might add to what I hope will become a small collection. Agate is essentially quartz and it occurs in bands of various colors. I'm drawn to plum and eggplant shades but there are plenty of neutral options for those who prefer a muted palette. Our senses are engaged by contrasts so an element of agate is the perfect addition to an otherwise soft, feminine space. When used as a wall slab or art, it centers a space and needs no embellishment.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Based on the above display that I created at ABC Carpet & Home in the Bronx recently, I thought I'd explore the silver, gold, mercury, copper and rose gold offerings that are currently on the interiors market. A hint of any of these metallics adds glamour to a space. But the truly daring know it's all about the mix. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I was recently looking over photos of some of the pieces I carried in my vintage shop RevivalSmith and I was reminded of this poster of a painting by Jules Breton, The Song of the Lark. I was already a fan of Jean Francois Millet's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gleaners">The Gleaners</a> when I came upon this poster and it struck the same chord in me that Millet's famous painting had -- appreciation for the beauty of hard work, community and closeness with the land. In researching some of his other works, I realized that I connect with a lot of Breton's pieces. His subjects are often women -- farm workers -- and he clearly has reverence for them and the simple but dignified lives they lead. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Jules Breton (1827-1906) was born in a small village in the Pas-de-Calais and his paintings were deeply influenced by the rural life he experienced and witnessed as a boy. He began painting in the Realist style but his later works are more representative of Symbolism. More information about the Symbolist movement can be found <a href="http://www.theartstory.org/movement-symbolism.htm">here</a>. We live in a complicated time where women are expected to conform to a very specific aesthetic ideal that excludes much of the female population, so seeing depictions of women with strong arms and sturdy feet who are nevertheless feminine and beautiful does my soul good. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The last time I wrote a <a href="http://shemovesthefurniture.blogspot.com/2011/01/interiors-closets.html">post</a> about dressing rooms was 5 years ago and it makes me laugh to see that I had a good sense of what New York living would entail. At the time, I wasn't even considering a move to Manhattan. But when I closed my vintage furniture store in 2013, I began considering all options and New York quickly became the best one. I've lived in a couple of apartments now and clothing storage has proven challenging. So the dream of a big closet that can hold not only my clothes but an armchair and vanity table continues to be elusive. While these versions are practical and elegant, mine would be a little less formal. I would need boho and industrial touches to feel at home -- maybe a mudcloth armchair and a copper pipe wall-mounted fixture. But chances are that when I finally realize my dream of a big dressing room, my design scheme will have been revised several times over. </span> </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Once in a while I find myself scrolling through photos of the vintage furniture shop I had in Philadelphia and I get a bit nostalgic about it all -- the pieces, the people I met and the creative freedom it allowed me. Though it was a struggle to stay in business, I gained too much from the experience to ever regret it. And ultimately taking a step towards my passion for creating inspiring spaces led me to a job I love, working as a visual merchandiser for ABC Carpet & Home. I have no desire to reverse the clock and be back in the shop, but I do get a lump in my throat looking at old photos and being reminded of the day-to-day moments that made up my time at RevivalSmith. These are just a few of the pieces that I got to live with for a time (some of them just cleaned up and others refinished). I'll admit I had a hard time letting the seltzer bottle lamps go -- definitely the ones that got away.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It's a blizzardy Saturday in New York city and I've only been trapped indoors for a few hours, but cabin fever is already beginning to hit. As I layered up to dig out my car after the first foot of snow had fallen, I found myself wishing I could skip the whole process and instead bury myself under layers of bedding. I've been hopping from sublet to sublet since the summer and what I miss most is my own bed and getting to switch up my linens as my mood dictates. Right now I'm loving these unfussy linens draped loosely with knits thrown over them haphazardly. They work as well in winter or summer and make for easy bed-making in the morning -- which leaves room for hitting the <i>snooze</i> button at least once. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I've long been a fan of black-painted rooms but kitchens with strong black elements are a newly acquired taste for me. Even the most rustic versions have a sophistication that I find hard to resist. They're kitchens where I can imagine cooking a big Saturday breakfast. But just as enticing is the thought of tiptoeing into them after midnight for a spontaneous snack. I also love the idea of strong masculine elements in a room that is often viewed as a female domain. Anything that breaks the rules gets my attention.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The weekend is upon us and I have a pajama day on my mind. In my case, that tends to mean staying indoors. But as New York Fashion Week Spring 2016 proved, pj's are as street ready as ever. The focus was on silk pipe-edged men's pajamas and beautifully tailored kimonos. For evening wear, a matching pajama set with select jewelry speaks to elegance that hasn't been over-worked. During the day a pajama top or short kimono with jeans strikes the perfect high/low note. These images inspire me to carry the pajama day vibe past my own four walls.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I previously wrote a post about half-painted walls <a href="http://shemovesthefurniture.blogspot.com/2013/06/interiors-half-painted-walls.html">here</a> but I've been loving how the trend has been modified by creating interesting edges. Most appealing to me is the idea of rough edges. Besides looking great, it takes far less time and effort because tape is no longer required to achieve perfect lines. Using two or three paint colors in a ragged ombre pattern could take the effect to the next level. I love a weekend project that doesn't monopolize the whole weekend. Scalloped and zigzag edges are other options. When a lease doesn't allow for painting walls, there's nothing to stop you from adopting the effect on art frames, furniture and other objects.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I recently discovered how much great viewing there is on PBS online and was intrigued to watch a documentary on Dorothea Lange directed by her granddaughter Dyanna Taylor. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3962870/?ref_=nm_flmg_ardp_1">Dorothea Lange: Grab a Hunk of Lightning</a> shows footage of Lange from 1962-66, combing through her vast photographic archive to choose images for an exhibit at MoMA. Her assessments of her own work are interspersed with the back story of a childhood bout with polio which left her with a limp, her two marriages and her struggle to balance art with motherhood. The photographs she took during the 1930s of the migrant farmers and their families fleeing the dust bowl states for the west coast (and finding that there wasn't work or shelter for them there) came to represent the Great Depression and eventually helped galvanize the public and the government to provide aid. As she traveled the country, often with second husband Paul Taylor (an economist and social scientist), she would introduce herself to her subjects and let them know what she was doing so that they were willing to be photographed. The result was a stark realism that still holds up 80 years later. Most sobering for me, was Lange's description of a series of photos she took of middle class women's mended stockings as they sat waiting to be given a bag of groceries to take home (a surreptitious bread line for women of a certain social standing). Their silk stockings were scarred with thin snags that had been meticulously darned, yet that looked worse for the mending. No self-respecting woman would have left the house in such a state unless those were the only stockings she owned and she didn't have the means to replace them. It's these small details that tell the story of such a difficult time and that remind us not just to look at what is in front of us, but to really see it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">My appreciation for vintage decor is long established: I discovered after college that flea market finds satisfied both my limited budget and my desire for originality, and later took my passion to the next level when I owned a vintage furniture and home goods store in Philadelphia (RevivalSmith). Having worked as a visual merchandiser for ABC Carpet & Home for almost 2 years, I've now come to see the beauty in sleek modernity. The most interesting spaces to me are those that combine disparate styles that shouldn't be compatible in a way that enhances the qualities of each. In the bedroom above by PROjECT Interiors, the weathered doors behind the bed keep the modern furnishings from feeling cold and serious. I've always had a penchant for the underdog so when an expensive space is inclusive of distressed salvage, it feels like a win. When I renovated a rowhome in Philadelphia a few years ago (featured in this <a href="http://shemovesthefurniture.blogspot.com/2013/06/interiors-salvage.html">post</a>), an old barn door was the first addition to my living room. In my home there will always be room for the decorating equivalent of the velveteen rabbit. </span> </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Though pastels are often associated with children's rooms and Easter eggs, muted peach tones and robin's egg blue can actually be very sophisticated. The bedroom above, designed by Dyer Grimes Architects of London, proves that these shades can be used to create a restful, grown-up space. A hint of pink or yellow in a gray or black and white room, keeps it from feeling too serious. I don't naturally gravitate towards these colors, but spaces like these make me think I need to at least consider them an option the next time I have a painting project. Check out this previous <a href="http://shemovesthefurniture.blogspot.com/2014/07/pastels.html">post</a> for a more youthful take on pastels.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0452643/">Love and Other Disasters</a> is one of those movies that I go back to every couple of years and continue to enjoy on both an aesthetic level and a personal one. Jacks is an English-born American who has returned to her home country to work as an assistant at Vogue UK and who lives with her gay best friend, an aspiring screenwriter. The radiant late Brittany Murphy plays Jacks and Matthew Rhys is her roommate Peter and the victim of her constant attempts to mend his frayed love life, even though her own needs as much work. Everything about the way she dresses and lives references Jacks' favorite movie, Breakfast at Tiffany's. The wardrobe and sets are gorgeous (especially the lead characters' apartment -- which a magazine assistant and struggling writer would never be able to afford) but beyond the froth is a lovely story about friendship and making yourself vulnerable in order to make room for love. There's also a hilarious cameo by Dawn French as Peter's shrink who shares her theory on the farting stages of a relationship that can't be missed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Perhaps its because of the snowstorm that just blew through New York or the week I recently survived with no heat (and in the end no hot water), but I'm ready for winter to cough out its last deep freeze and spring to lead us into milder temperatures. I'm also getting tired of seeing nothing but a sea of black puffy nylon coats every time I step outside. Lightweight coats need to make their comeback and nothing fits the bill better than a cape or poncho. Whether a loose boho version or its more tailored woolen companion, I love the easy warmth and style that these mini coats provide. With these versions currently on the market, this will be the year that I incorporate a cape into my wardrobe.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Happy 2015! I thought I'd kick off the new year with a post combining two of my favorite things: window displays and travel. I always find myself dreaming of an exotic getaway when January hits and winter begins to show what it's made of, and these window displays play right into those fantasies. </span></div>
