These were two small bedrooms, one hogging the fireplace.\u00c2\u00a0 With great good fortune the engineer discovered\u00c2\u00a0 that the stars were aligned and that the beams were running in a propitious manner.\u00c2\u00a0 It was no big deal to tear down the long wall between them to create a long elegant rectangle of a room.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the left side of the right photo I’ll put the sectional sofa I had made some years ago for lallygagging about while we watch TV and I’ve determined that we’ll have a projection TV system with as big a screen as feasible for the geometries of the room, possibly\u00c2\u00a0 using simply and elegantly a piece of canvas applied to the wall as the screen.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other side of the room, lying languidly in front of the fire in the picture on the left\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve settled a beautiful long chaise I’ve had by a triple window in our current master bedroom. I love the idea of covering it with Designers Guild<\/a>‘s Maitland Nabucco, a velvet with a cut pile in the pattern of alligator.\u00c2\u00a0 The colors are a dream of lushness.\u00c2\u00a0 Hard to choose…maybe mix the black and the lime green.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adding to the my fantasy mix is a Victorian ceramic mantel that could be a devastating coup-or not.\u00c2\u00a0 How would it look to substitute that big beefsteak of an existing mantel with this?<\/span><\/p>\n

Shiny pitch black enamel paint walls and bookcases, a great backdrop for all this?<\/span><\/p>\n

NB-To all those lovers of over-the-topness with high notes of post modern cool- get to know the work of Tricia Guild, the brilliant designer behind Designers Guild.
