Inspiration for Eamon's house
One of those tediously binary "rules" about human nature (you're either right-brained or left-brained; you're either introverted or extroverted) is that, supposedly, people are either visual learners or verbal learners. I call bullshit; I am both. Primarily verbal, perhaps, but if my brain weren't also unavoidably drawn to visual composition and imagery, I'd never have become a quasi-art-major or an interior designer. So even when I'm writing, I think in images.
So naturally, when I was writing this book about a house renovation, I had to find an actual house to write about. Not just that--I pored over the listing photos until I could put together a reasonable facsimile of the existing floor plan, and then I drafted the new plan I wanted to create. And then I furnished it.
I mean, of course I did.
And now I want to show it to you! I promise, if you hang out with me, there will be a lot of photos of gorgeous art and house stuff. And in answer to the question I know is popping up in your mind... no, I have not met a piece of brass I didn't want to make out with. There are worse addictions.
Horchow bed
Hudson Furniture console table
Palo Samko table
detail of the table - those are watch gears embedded in the surface.
Siemon & Salazar pendant light
Homenature bunching side tables
Dowel-leg Eames chairs
Casamidy lounge chair - that's leather wrapped around the frame.
Billy Cotton chandelier
vintage Paulo Mendes da Rocha chair
sigh.
