Get the Look

Ideas and inspiration from this issue that you can use today

May/June 2011

 

SEED POD ART  When framed, African bean pods became artwork for the foyer in "Ranch House Riff." Artist Owen Mortensen took the idea a step further, arranging seed pods in a precise pattern for his Chinese Chestnut Study. owenmortensen.com 

METAL TILE  A backsplash paved with metal tile brings glamour to the rustic kitchen in "Ranch House Riff." Get the cool, contemporary look with stainless-steel Random Flat Liner Tiles by Flux Studios. At decorativematerials.com

PILLOWS  A mix of cashmere, mohair and curly lamb softens the contemporary edges of the living room in "A Fresh Perspective." Achieve a similar effect—without breaking the bank—with West Elm’s Mongolian Lamb Pillow Covers. westelm.com  

RUG  Designer Madeline Stuart chose a luxe hair-on-hide rug to grace the entryway in "A Fresh Perspective." Our favorite take on the trend is Kyle Bunting’s Alhambra Rug in cream, brown and speckled hair-on-hide leather. kylebunting.com 

MIRROR  The bathroom in "Ranch House Riff" wouldn’t accommodate a traditional wall-mounted mirror, so designer Carter Kay suspended two round mirrors—like Casamidy’s Altavista—from a rod mounted above the window frame. casamidy.com 

CHAIR  The distinctive lines of the Minotaur Club Chair by Blackman Cruz make a statement in the living room in "A Fresh Perspective." Change the upholstery and make the look your own. blackmancruz.com
