Le Living Room
How does one start putting together a living room? I just start by finding something I really like and building around it. In this case it was a vase. Its Waterford, which is odd since usually I am not a fan of Waterford. I think it was the color combo: red, orange and a brownish purple. Me like.
Then I needed something to host the vase so I picked up something else I really liked, the Saarinen side table in white marble. I've always liked this table and the design has been around since 1957, so I have to assume it is a classic by now.
Now I needed something to sit on so I could look at the vase on the table. Hows about some white sofa? Of course its was dark before I picked up the funky 6 1/2 ft. tall Pablo lights.
Mom is working on the artwork for above the sofa: 9 3'x3' modern oils all in various shades of orange, red, purple, black and of course, the new color, white.

My brother's guest room was decorated with orange and red. When I first heard the color treatment I thought it weird, but when I saw it, the orange and red worked together well.

Nice!
We need more glass/vases.
I love the Pablo lights and the lighting above. Your couch is awesome! I'll have to show these to Matt, he'll get moist over them.

Hi Jim, I came across your blog while trying to connect with ace (iamaceian). I just want to express my admiration how very talented you are. You cook, mix drinks, photograph, design, decorate, speak Hebrew, write, travel-- and I found out by reading your blog for a few minutes! I feel the warmth of your personality and the closeness you have with your family and friends through your unaffected and candid words. Your site is such a breath of fresh air in the midst of all the self-centered, angst-ridden online journals I usually come across with. Thank you for making my day! You are a wonderful, talented person. I wish you well...
