Identity Crisis
{Windsor Smith – one of my all time favorite designers}
If you’ve read MG for a while, you know I’m all about “comfortable glamour.” Lately I’ve been really drawn the style that made me fall in love with Interior Design years ago – “California Casual.” It’s the anti-furniture store look I embraced eagerly as a young designer/student. Color, a mix of textures, and a general relaxed feel perfected by Peter Dunham, Schulyer Samperton, and Estee Stanley to name a few.

And then there’s this…just love. Sparkle, monochromatic textures, and modern elements:

{My favorite version of Sally Wheat’s Living Room}
{I’m guessing Ryan Korban?}
Faux fur throws and touches of black? YES!

Mix of antiques with sparkly/shining things
Clean-lined perfection…realistically I could not live with all the white and zero clutter but I do love to look at it.
I know my favorite styles aren’t exactly polar opposites, but it’s fun to analyze. Ultimately I’m somewhere in the middle and just buy things I love!
