Oh, Kevin...!
Ok, here's the thing: I love when people mix 'old and new'. It makes for fab dynamics and interesting juxtapositions. And when it comes to decor, that may be the magic bullet. And here steps Kevin, with this week’s home. And this is in Atlanta, a big city, btw. I don't like the South, but I think Hotlanta is ok.
I really like this color scheme and the idea that wallpaper does not have to be boring (or grandmotherly). It also makes the best of an open plan apartment (It can be a struggle) and the idea that walls can be your friends. I know, groundbreaking.
XOXO

ReplyDeleteI really like his apartment. He appointed it well. Like you I like the old and new concept, especially since a lot of the older items have personal meaning to him.
I do question the wisdom of the white furniture in the living room with the dogs. But that’s just me.
XOXO 👨🏼❤️💋👨🏽
It's a very nice place.
DeleteAnd I never thought about the doggies. Maybe the materials are pet friendly?

Big says,
ReplyDeleteHe's done a nice job. I wouldn't want white furniture --- not because of a dog, but because it gets to looking filthy real fast. I'd have to bring someone in to clean it all the time, like every week!
XOXO
I kind of agree with the white furniture issue.
DeleteI think if it's white, it needs to be washable/cleanable.
XOXO
I like old and new but some of these pieces seem kind of fussy; and i'd like splashes of bold color thrown around a room!~

I like this palette.
DeleteIt looks calming and it makes the place look bigger, though....
I like it more when it's texture and not color that brings the pizzaz...
XOOX
I agree...I love his place. The most interesting and spaces I like the best are the ones mixed with old and new styles and items together. Not to mention older pieces are often very well made. I have nothing disposable.
ReplyDeleteI like that mix.
DeleteIt makes the place looks less precious and it gives it weight. And nothing like old-fashioned furniture made the old-fashion way.
XOXO
