Peekaboo (part 1)

(above) Behind the chair is a piece by Scott Barber called 'Swell.' Giclée print on Lysonic paper. First edition, October, 2004, limited to 500. Once it's hung, I'll do a full-on proper photograph of it, but I'm waiting for the final coat of paint to be applied on the above wall cabinet before I hang it.

A pair of tubby armchairs. That’s how 1stdibs had listed them when I first added them to my portfolio. Before all the restoration work, I had lived with a lot of traditional hand-me-downs and antique mall finds. In other words, my décor suffered greatly from the brown furniture syndrome in an out-of-date arts and crafts style. It was time to grow up in a timeless manner, since I no longer needed trendy objects to disguise a house that desperately needed structural updating. The key words that must apply to any new object chosen for my house are: timeless, integrity, functional, quality, quiet, sophisticated, and gracious.
