and see, this is what i love about designing spaces, whether they be residential or commercial. i think it's beyond important to incorporate a mix of old and new, pairing those that have weathered nicely with those brand new, awaiting experiences and events.
if you constantly pull from new pieces, whether it be art, furniture or lighting, it doesn't matter, you miss out on talented designers and artists from the past. styles, techniques and traditions from the past. old and new compliment each other (bigtime!) and make for much more interesting spaces than a stale compilation of one time period. i love that!
i hope you have interesting, exciting and amazing plans for your upcoming weekend. my son is heading back to college soon, so i'm running around a little picking up last minute things/food/clothing he needs. which is so fun for me. enjoy!
