Project Details

Created by Sari

I just went home for a long weekend to my parents' house, built in 1854, if I recall correctly. Design-wise, I was impressed. With new, adult, more-removed-than-ever-before perspective, I realized they have successfully incorporated a decidedly "retro" color palette and a strange array of art (created by my dad, mostly,) curated antiques, and artifacts (collected from their travels around the globe) into an innovative, cohesive, appealing aesthetic. Wow.

And they did it all themselves.

Clearly, just sharing...out of sentimentality and nostalgia...not so much instructional or advice-laden.

    This is a excellent example of American Craft. The colors, the mixture of materials and styles. Your father is a definitely a champion of that look. Nice post.
