I have begun to notice a more than subtle pattern in my favorite looks lately; they all seem to contain one of the following: abstracts, black, or brass. Do you find yourself doing the same? Latching on, almost subconsciously, to some look or material that suddenly feels right? Well, I’m there. I’m less and less interested in silver (although mercury glass still does it for me); a brass set of flatwear sounds like a plan.
And black, where do I begin? It is strong and demonstrative and grants most interiors a slight “umph.” I once read that one should never omit a black item from a room; its grounding.
Abstracts, to me, are chic, casual, and effortless, which is a nice addition to one’s affection for antiques or indulgent French furniture.
What are your current subtle, or not so subtle, obsessions?
The beautiful paintings above are by Sally Benedict King, of Charleston, South Carolina, and, everything else, from Lonny Magazine.
