Lena Kroupnik I can’t believe January is coming to a close – I’m still catching up from New Years! Everything moves so fast..., but at home I want a sense of calm. I love seeing a young person or not so young take an old piece of furniture and update it – like putting Ikat print or leatherette fabric on an antique chair, for example, or paint wood in unexpected color! To me, that transformed piece of furniture would find its way into a traditional home, perfectly balancing past, present and future. Or just imagine a well-made sofa with classic lines—perhaps a track or roll-arm style—in a neutral color with linen textile. You can change the look instantly with bright bold pillows, a throw, or a new rug – now that’s a New Traditional look with a twist! Here are some other inspiring combinations:
Love the combination of weathered wood finish and bright orange color http://www.globalviews.com/
