Patterned Floors in Mary Douglas Drysdale's Living Room

I'm still thinking about the patterned floors in Mary Douglas Drysdale's living room at the Richmond Symphony Designer House. Here's some close-up pics of the floor that Tom Hickey and his staff at Rising Tide Inc created based on Mary's design. Beautiful work.

Love this floor too! Hope you're having a good weekend. I'm off to San Francisco later in the week.

Artist Tina Steele Lindsey

My recent post on designer Capella Kincheloe generated alot of interest in the beautiful artwork featured in the living room. I always think it's a great compliment to both the interior designer and the artist when people are drawn to the overall beauty of the room as well as the contribution the art makes to that beauty. Well, the talented artist behind that piece and many more is Tina Steele Lindsey. Tina works mainly in abstraction and figurative work using traditional methods. I could spend countless hours just gazing at these pieces, lost in thought and enjoyment, and am very happy to be able to share more of her work in this post. Image above titled Anissa

ARTIST: Claire Basler

Amazing Artist!

Claire Basler lives in the outskirts of Paris in a former iron works. {such a life *sigh*} Her home work studio is amazing, read through Elle Decoration UK March 2010 and just fell head over heals for her wonderful space and truly beautiful paintings. 

Her home blurs the outside and inside with these huge iron framed windows where natural light just pours into the space. With the high lofty ceilings she can paint on huge canvas. 

Please visit her site to see other works such as her drawings, portraits, textiles and barbotines

enjoy!

Frank Faulkner

I'm a new found fan of New York artist and designer Frank Faulkner. I love the classical feel and neutrality of color in his Hudson, New York home. It also doubles as his studio and show case. Faulkner designed the spaces with classical pieces and objects. There are very refined pieces on display next to vintage flea market finds. Line , color and period bring dissimilar pieces together and they work well against the gallery style white walls.
