I have come across Yves Klein modern tables quite often lately and thought it would be a great idea to display a few of them.  Yves Klein was a French artist who created this very particular blue ( International Klein Blue) in the 1960’s.  After that he designed a table made of Plexiglas with a glass top and filled with three different color pigments inside.  One with International Klein Blue, one with Rose Pink and one with Gold leaves.  I think the blue would look great in a very modern space but my favorite is the one used by Celerie Kemble which is filled with gold leaves.

 

And talking about lucite I put together a list of really good looking lucite accessories and furniture that are a nod to classic in the very chic form of lucite.  Enjoy!

I think this trunk would be great as a storage for a collection of colorful and fancy scarves, I would use these lanterns on a navy blue wall or on a dark upholstered wall as well, a fabulous lucite & cast elephant tusk console table, a pair of 70’s bookcases, The Pasha chair by Pedrali is the perfect marriage between classic lines and modernity, who doesn’t love letters to display at home or hang on walls and finally everyone needs a lucite ring.

I recently got a Soumak at ABC Carpet, a month ago to be exact and I am trilled at how it enhances the entire living area.   While doing some searching before acquiring it I came across Loom Rugs, based in Australia. Its impressive and beautiful selection of rugs which goes from Kilim to Pile rugs to Soumak and vintage rugs among others caught my attention. Some of them look as beautiful as art.  Enjoy!

I’m sorry for the sporadic posts, I’ve been very busy.   Hopefully I can go back to my regular post schedule next week.  Our TV got fried with the thunderstorm last Friday and we’ve been having surprisingly a lot of fun.  TV is fun and I enjoy it but it takes so much time and presence from us.  Instead, we have developed a few and unknown creative qualities of our personalities that it’s so fun to see.  We paid a visit to Blick last Saturday and bought a bunch of creative materials.  As a result my hubby became an artist and started painting left and right, according to him, we need a lot more art on our walls and he is right.  I’m not sure if we’re going to hang his though! My father-in-law who is a true artist, painted an over scaled whale and with my suggestion, covered it with shells we collected last week along in Shelter Island.  It’ll go on Lucas’s bathroom and it’s going to look pretty cool!
Fortunately or not, we got a TV last night but this time we prepared ourselves and got a surge protector so the much stronger and scary lightning and thunder coming our way this weekend don’t ruin this new TV as well.  If you live in one of the areas where this angry Irene is going to hit, keep safely calm and buy a few board games, and a lot of them!
