While researching a current project, I decided to create a file of my favorite pieces found...albeit not all appropriate for the aforementioned job. Nevertheless, what better way than the blog to collect personal favorites as well as create a visual journal of the people, places and projects that I find interesting and frequently serve as inspiration? It's a winning move, even if I'm the only one to reference it;) The blog is coming back. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Recently, I was asked to post my Top 10's, so here is the first of many installments. All the pieces included are in line production pieces, meaning if you like for yourself, you can actually get your hands on it. I'm a big believer in buying the best you can. As long as the scale and proportion are well executed, one finds good usually goes with good. Remember, a few well selected pieces go a long way in building the credibility of a space, never mind that you can usually use them for decades, if not a lifetime. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If you have personal favorites, please feel free to reference them in the comment section. I'd love to know!</div>

<blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">Mary Douglas Drysdale is a modern day icon in the world of traditional design, in 2009 Ms Drysdale was nominated for a lifetime achievement award of excellence at the <a href="http://cooperhewitt.org/">Cooper Hewitt Design Museum</a> (my most favorite museum!). While her work is exceedingly diverse it is clearly rooted in classicism, always fresh, relevant and maintains a certain modern awareness about it. My discovery of her work upon my entry into interior design left an indelible impression on my personal aesthetic and preferences. I am beyond excited and flattered that she has agreed to do an interview with yours truly and have been gushing for the past six weeks! Finally...it is here;) What a wonderful way to mark our 101st post! Many, many thanks to Ms Drysdale for being so incredibly open and gracious! </div></blockquote></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

I adore this photo of Mary, it so captures her spunky spirit! Below are her words as to how she came about building this vignette: <br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote><b>"When most people think about my work, they think about the color and the sassy part. I spend the most time thinking about the precision, the foundation. It’s clean, it’s calming, and it’s strong so I can lay on top of it, something that’s sassy and unexpected. </b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>In approaching this vignette, I was immediately drawn to Daniel Pohl’s “Buffet” because it’s so jewel-like and full of texture. There’s a playful quality that creates a dynamic tension between weight and lightness of spirit. </b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>In my role as a designer, I’m trying to be responsive to an object and select pieces that share those qualities. By using the same colors above the Pohl as is in the buffet itself, but brightened, the pieces all connect. They’re like pieces of jewelry on an artfully designed armature. Because the colors of the Van Bankston painting are similar to those in the buffet, each piece can be seen in a different way. </b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>I also like the square of the painting on top of the rectangle of the buffet. For me, there’s a classical foundation there that’s interesting. There’s a relationship of objects: what’s happening on top of the cabinet and how it relates to the base. There’s a connection between every element on that console that draws you in. I think there’s something about creating relationships that are below the radar screen because it gets people to stop. The difference between something you take the time to see and something you just pass by is sometimes just a fraction of an inch."</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b><br />
</b></blockquote><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">For those not in the know, you are now beginning to see what I admire her so....</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Before we get to her interview, I would love for you to see a project which has been in my personal design vault for years. This project exemplifies everything I adore about Mary's famously architecture and art driven approach, neo traditionalism at its finest...classic, graceful, clean, appropriate, light filled, collected and in her own words, "elegant and spare, but not pretentious". Obviously, I am not alone as it made the cover of Traditional Home's book, <i>Signature Style, </i></span><span style="font-size: small;">one of over 60 covers that her work has graced over the past 25 years!</span></span><br />

<br />
<blockquote><b>A professor of mine once said to me that most people go to school to “learn how to see.” What he later explained was that what he intended to communicate was that one could develop the ability to pre-visualize; to understand form and design intent as reality while the design in still in the conceptual level. For me the act of drawing is the door which opens to the world of seeing. I strongly believe that initial concept is the easy part of design, understanding the perfect relationship of form and proportion modified by color and pattern is what is hard for all but the most careful practitioner to achieve.</b></blockquote><blockquote><br />
<b>Drawing is the place I go for inspiration. That is how I begin to see clearly what “it” is. And when I say it, I mean the whole- the problems, the ideas, the potential solutions the interface, how to build it or make it how every detail will be. The drawings flow in plan, elevation and detail. The ability to draw it the gift that allows me to pre-visualize creation in complete detail.</b></blockquote><b><br />

<blockquote><b>Drawings take so many forms from the loosest sketch to complex sections and details. I love to sketch – often such loose concepts that my drawings would not communicate to others the idea of my design. But, these - at times scribbles – inform my own vision and allow the designs to develop. Drawing takes me through the length and breadth of the design process. I draw everything. Every aspect of a plan from floor through crown details, elevations always architecture and decoration in order to check proportion and to study views. But, the words of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Corbusier">Le Corbusier</a> inspire. God is in the details. I find that design at its most refined is found in the intelligent and elegant transitions. The shifts between floor and wall, door and wall room to room floor to floor. And this truth is found in many disciplines. For many years my trainer and coach in the sport of Dressage was two time Olympic rider <a href="http://www.inspo.com/">Belinda Nairn Wertman</a>. One day, when trying to help me ride through a series of complex movements, she said this is all your fault! Your horse knows how to do this what is wrong with you…..well there was more but, I don’t have to share that. She said, anyone can do one movement Mary, what is complex and what makes it complete is the transitions. That was the hardest part. The same is true, in my view of design, decoration and architecture! Like great dance – the work has to seamlessly move, and be able to change the tempo without a hitch. </b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>I do see rooms and spaces at some level as artistic endeavors. Architecture is sculpture and decoration painting. While known for my color use, I am really a sculptor.</b><br />

<b>A conversation about color...</b><br />
<br />
<b>The reason that the, at times, sassy color I do apply to walls works, is that the foundation is highly classical and balanced – well structured, one might say. When your foundation is that strong….you can overlay with evocative color. It is a way of combining formal and sexy, perfect form, restrained elegance and fabulous and dazzling earrings. When I use what I would call pronounced colors, I like to do that in a controlled way. Much like a strong horse, color needs to be reined in. So I will use a lot of the same color and not so much pattern so that the energy in the room is balance. Also, I study a plan in order to place color in ways that balance in a room.</b><br />

<br />
<blockquote><b>Oh my goodness, there are so many GREAT and impressive talents who have taught me and whose work I always love to see. But the work I tend to prefer is work which is a combination of architecture and decoration. That is what will hold my interest. For example,<a href="http://www.saladinostyle.com/"> John Saladino</a> is complete in his work. As the great industrial designer, <a href="http://www.raymondloewy.com/">Raymond Lowey</a>, once said “from lipstick tubes to locomotives”. I think I follow a lot of designers who are no longer with us. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_Wharton">Edith Wharton</a>…inspires. Well let’s come back to that.</b></blockquote><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">How do you initiate the Design Process?</span><br />
<br />
<blockquote><b>The way I start a project is very organized. I have a long list of questions the clients answer, we photograph every square inch, create an inventory of all relevant materials and create a photographic survey. The clients also have to select preferences from a lot of my images and the images of others. </b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>I try to find out what they really like. I find so often that the client wants to get my approval……and I find that I can’t move forward with the personal and functional aspects of any design…..without getting them to come forward with what they really like…</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>I have to find something that I can connect with in a client relationship. I find things that we share. I want to feel a professional bond, or respect for all I work for in order to give my best always. I will not work for people I do not respect, or do not feel a good chemistry with.</b></blockquote><br />

</b><br />
<b>Another wonderful project is a French Revival House just outside of Washington. It is new, and has wonderful bones but needs a lot in terms of the finishing.

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Which vendors do you enjoy using?</span><br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What new direction do you see happening in the world of design?</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote><b>I do think that the world of design is changing. The most exciting aspect of change from my perspective is that the schools are so good now; the education a designer gets today is usually very good. Technically graduates of design schools are far better in terms of skill than a decade ago. </b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Organic and natural fibers and home grown or made + green are here to stay. Who wants to live in a toxic environment? People want what lasts and what does not make like in the future worse than it is today.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>The business of design is changing as well. I think that in 10 years mark ups will be smaller or non existent. And whatever the arrangement – all costs will be revealed.</b><br />

Squash, grapefruit, lemons....Yellow is a color which is hard for many to work with it they are inexperienced. Once you have it up on the walls, the color reflects on itself so much that is has real energy. If you are thinking of using yellow, make sure to paint a large wall or at a minimum a 4 X 4 sample and look at that sample in the morning, afternoon, and with evening light. It is a color that changes (which all colors do) and the only way to know that you have the right color is to look at it in these various circumstances.</b></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> <br />

And it is a color that works everywhere, unlike other colors such as Purple or Red or Pink. Often my favorite kitchens are yellow. They always me of the wonderful kitchen and garden of Monet. It is a color which welcomes - is not the least pretentious....it is a cozy, fresh, wonderful, cheerful and elegant tone.</b></blockquote><blockquote><b>AND yellow is wonderful in an Entry Foyer, Lining Room or Dining Room.

A native of Alabama, lngram is a fellow southerner, and as I recently discovered and much to my glee, also a fellow honorary Bahamian, Ingram's homes always ooze charm, seemingly executed with ease and grace and not the least bit forced. You can just imagine how elated I am that he is every bit as gracious as the homes he designs and made himself available to be interviewed by yours truly...can you say beaming;)</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">Jaime Rogers: When I think Bill Ingram, the three words which immediately come to mind are: well appointed, relevant and charming. What methods do you employ to bring such consistent charm to your projects?</span></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Bill Ingram: Well first off I like to think that I can bring comfort to a house by<br />
using appropriate and thoughtful furnishings to compliment the architecture.<br />
The house may start off this way in spirit, but I think of the interiors as<br />
an extension of this and not just filling up space. I'll arrange a<br />
furniture plan at the same time I design the house, usually with specific<br />
pieces in mind. I've moved into houses that looked just about as good on<br />
the first night as the did after settling in. Some things you explicitly<br />
plan for and some things you play with and massage. That can really help<br />
keep everything from looking too arranged and brings a relaxed feeling.</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<br />
<div style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">JR: Where do you seek and find inspiration for your work?</span></div><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">BI: If anything I am a classic eclecticist a little like the English who<br />
always threw in a little French or Chinese in the mix. If I really like<br />
something I run across I'll get it, but I'll tell you at the same time that<br />
it won't work if it is something kooky. That would be the first thing you'll<br />
want to get rid of when the novelty wears off.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<br />
<div style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">JR: How do you go about kick starting your design process?</span></div><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">BI: I usually am able to start off with a property that the owners or the<br />
owners and I have selected. I think the land tells you everything.<br />
Sometimes a difficult property can afford you a better house by forcing you<br />
to be more creative. If the project is a renovation it is usually a house<br />
that isn't living up to its potential, usually through bad additions or lack<br />
of thought. So we'll tap into what the house wants to be.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<br />
<div style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">JR: Which architects and designers do you follow? And why?</span></div><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">BI: Honestly most of the architects and designers I like are all long gone,<br />
but the houses that have stood untouched or memorialized in old books that<br />
exemplify a single vision are always the ones that attract me.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">JR: Sadly, our newstands are no longer graced with the presence of Southern Accents; however, you seemingly had a great working relationship with them, would you mind sharing how that came about?</span></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">BI: The demise of <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1270508068_6" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; cursor: pointer;">Southern Accents</span> has been sad for so many people who enjoy<br />
houses and design. The magazine had just gotten better and better. I think<br />
from the outset I had a connection and mutual respect with the magazine<br />
editors.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">JR: Are there any new or upcoming projects you would like to share with us...if only in concept?</span></div><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">BI: I am asked that all the time and every project in this office starts<br />
with me personally and so I am constantly refreshed with a new challenge.<br />
Sometimes these build on a previous house a client has seen, but often my<br />
clients are vague about the "style" they want - leaving that up to me. I<br />
love it! When they jump in with some degree of trust, then I have that same<br />
trust of them and am challenged exponentially to give them something beyond<br />
their expectations.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">JR: <span style="color: #134f5c;">What are 5 things Bill Ingram can not live without?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">BI: </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">1. My lake house at <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1270508068_7" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;">Lake Martin</span> (<a href="http://www.southernaccents.com/architecture/building-remodeling/bill-ingram-lakeside-retreat-00400000051319/">click this link for an inside peek!</a>) and all the friends who consider it their house too. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">2. The Mahogany Grand-Craft for boating around on the lake. (Which I later found was custom made, complete with white and beige leather seating piped in burgundy with outdoor seagrass flooring! He stated that it simply would not be feasible to build an all wood home and then have a plastic boat...I knew I loved this man, lol.) I am guessing this may be the beauty we spoke of:</span><br />

I have been gushing over the latest <a href="http://www.housebeautiful.com/">House Beautiful</a> all week! I love how they profiled the relaxed, fresh look of wood with such versatility. Well, here is another gorgeous project featured in this month's issue, by none other than the remarkable <a href="http://www.mcalpineboothferrier.com/index.cfm">Bobby McAlpine and Susan Ferrier</a>. I have been a fan of <a href="http://www.mcalpineboothferrier.com/index.cfm">Mr McAlpine's</a> work since my entry into interior design, for much the same reason I adore <a href="http://www.saladinostyle.com/">John Saladino's</a> work as they have many similarities, at least in my opinion. Both create romantic yet polished interiors, full of charm with a nice balance between the old and the new world. I hope you enjoy the following images, although I highly recommend you run out and purchase the issue as the online images in no way serve the layouts justice. Following these images are a few items from <a href="http://www.doxahome.com/Default.asp">DOXA Home</a> which you could use to implement this gracious aesthetic into your own space. Please do not forget about the <a href="http://doxahome.blogspot.com/2010/03/wood-you-could-you-i-sayyes.html">promotion</a> we are running through this Saturday, <b>15% off</b> all items featured in our <a href="http://www.doxahome.com/category_s/863.htm">Bleach Oak Collection,</a> simply enter the code <b>BOC10</b> at checkout and your discount will be applied.<br />

The use of a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porti%C3%A8re">portiere</a>, something I have used many times over the years. Thank you Mr. McAlpine, Mr. Saladino, <a href="http://www.vicentewolf.com/">Mr. Wolf</a> and <a href="http://www.bnodesign.com/">Mr. Ortiz</a>, designers from whom I initially learned this fabulous little trick.<br />

We are loving the new issue of <a href="http://www.housebeautiful.com/decorating/washed-wood">House Beautiful</a>! It is dedicated to the "<a href="http://www.housebeautiful.com/decorating/washed-wood">New Look of Wood</a>", Natural, Light and Relaxed. The first four photos of this post are actually pulled from this issue and they feature the soft yet modern Shelter Island property of Harriet Maxwell Macdonald and Andrew Corrie. Macdonald and Corrie are the founders of the terribly chic NYC boutique, <a href="http://www.ochrestore.com/">Ochre</a>. Ochre is a favorite of <a href="http://www.doxahome.com/">DOXA Design Group </a>as we source from them regularly, it was such a treat to open up HB and see their layout!<br />
<br />
<br />
At <a href="http://www.doxahome.com/">DOXA</a> we have been feeling this move towards paler woods for sometime and created a <a href="http://www.doxahome.com/category_s/863.htm">Bleached Oak Collection</a> that has over 50 items which speak to this aesthetic. As you will see in the following images, this palette is beautiful in modern, traditional, casual and formal interiors...the choice is yours to make.<br />
<br />
Through Saturday, the 28th, <a href="http://www.doxahome.com/default.asp">DOXA Home</a> will be offering our readers <b>15% off</b> all items in the <a href="http://www.doxahome.com/category_s/863.htm">Bleached Oak Collection</a>! Simply enter the discount code, BOC10, at checkout and your deductions will be applied. Please email us photos of your pieces once in your space, we love seeing our pieces translated into your personal interiors, you may email me at jrogers@doxahome.com. I hope you enjoy...<br />

Maybe, HE can take great photos with HIS phone but as for me, not so much...obviously. <a href="http://www.eddieross.com/">Eddie Ross</a> takes amazing photos and I read <a href="http://tobifairley.com/blog/2010/energy-house/">Tobi Fairley's</a> post last week on her <a href="http://tobifairley.com/blog/2010/before-and-after-energy-house-chairs/">Showhouse project</a> and her photos look terrific as well (by the way, if you have not listened to the Skirted Roundtable interview with Ms Fairley, <a href="http://skirtedroundtable.blogspot.com/2010/03/guest-designer-tobi-fairley.html">click here</a>, it's a MUST)...not sure what to make of my poor photography skills but until I have proper photos, here are a few images, per your request, of the first of two spaces I created for the <a href="http://www.floridaorchestra.org/event_info.asp?id=63">Florida Orchestra </a>Showhouse at <a href="http://www.ovationjmc.com/">The Ovation</a> in Downtown St Petersburg...hopefully this is not career suicide;)<br />
<br />
<br />
This space is a little nook in an otherwise light filled high rise condo on the 21st floor of a beautiful modern building named The Ovation. My mission was to create a cozy little space that one could retreat to when in need of a bit of an escape. I love multi purpose rooms and purposely used a 30" high table (a vintage Mastercraft table from the 70's) floating in front of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Vanderbyl">Michael Vanderbyl</a> sofa so the space could not only be used as a library but also for an intimate dinner from time to time. There is a global feel and just the slightest reference to the<a href="http://www.doxahome.com/category_s/978.htm"> "New Victorian"</a> aesthetic with the use of brass components, the vintage factory stool and collection of natural curiosities used throughout.<br />
<br />
All of the pieces I used are from independently owned, Tampa Bay businesses, including <a href="http://www.doxahome.com/">Doxa Home</a> as well as several boutiques, vintage shops and antique stores. I did not use any COM and EVERY item used was "As Is" and not one piece custom ordered, with the exception of the hand painted damask pattern on the walls which were graciously done by <a href="http://www.splatpaint.com/">Splat Paint</a>. We are not located in a major metropolitan area however we do have several charming shops and I wanted to highlight the local businesses we do have here and what could be done with in stock inventory.<br />

We, er...I, installed two <a href="http://www.floridaorchestra.org/event_info.asp?id=63">Showhouse </a>rooms utilizing only local, independently owned Tampa Bay businesses. Everything was used as is and <b>nothing </b>was recovered, ordered or made especially for the spaces, with the exception of the damask painted walls in the study, which were beautifully executed by <a href="http://www.splatpaint.com/index.htm">Splat Paint</a>. Our gracious donors' inventories were changing up until the last minute and with that, the entire rooms' designs, so needless to say, it was <i>incredibly</i> stressful up until the last bloom was placed. Now that it is all said and done, I have to say it was well worth it. I'll be sharing more about all of that later. <br />
<br />
<br />
In the meantime, inspired by the amazingly GORGEOUS weekend we had this past week, I want to share some of my most favorite tropical pools. I guess after this past winter, I am hoping my paying homage to my favorite sun soaked spaces will encourage more of our precious sun's presence, lol! And I live in FLORIDA so I can not even imagine what my Northwestern, Midwestern and Northeastern friends are having to put up with!<br />
<br />
<br />
I have been collecting these images for several years as I am using them as inspiration for the day I am finally able to develop mi own lil piece of land in <a href="http://treasurebeach.net/guide/">Treasure Beach, Jamaica</a>...ya mon. You can read more about this country I love,<a href="http://doxahome.blogspot.com/2010/02/kreative-blogger-award.html"> here</a>, <a href="http://doxahome.blogspot.com/2009/05/utopia-found-at-itopia.html">here</a> and <a href="http://doxahome.blogspot.com/2009/11/welcome-to-jamrock.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I hope these images will serve as a beacon of hope for all my fellow sun worshipers;)<br />

I have been a fan of her NYC showroom, <a href="http://www.interieurs.com/">Interieurs</a>, for many years. Through her beautiful blog, <a href="http://fg-artdevivre.blogspot.com/">Art de Vivre</a>, I have had the opportunity to become better acquainted with the woman behind Interieurs. She not only has an incredible eye but she is a woman who has a great appreciation for the gifts which nature has generously bestowed upon us. A wife, a mother, an entrepreneur, a designer, a collector, an avid skier, a passionate gardener, a global citizen...a bon vivant without a pretentious bone in her body. In other words, Francine is my kind of woman, which makes this gesture by her all the more meaningful to me! If you have not already done so, please visit <a href="http://fg-artdevivre.blogspot.com/">her blog</a>, you will be both entertained and inspired, and it should go without saying, definitely make a visit to her beautiful showroom,<a href="http://www.interieurs.com/"> Interieurs</a>. Again, many thanks Francine, much appreciated and all the best!<br />
<br />
So apparently as part of the acceptance of this award I now need to share 7 things about myself that perhaps you may not know...as I have stated previously, between this blog and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#%21/pages/Doxa-Home/60194559666?ref=ts">Facebook</a>, I can't imagine there is much more to tell but here I go:<br />

1. I have the dream of living on an island one day,<a href="http://treasurebeach.net/guide/"> preferably a sleepy fishing village like Treasure Beach, JA</a>, in a charming little home with an organic garden. <br />

2. Travel is a serious passion of mine, and quite frequently I select my destination based on a hotel I wish to stay. That is exactly how I discovered <a href="http://treasurebeach.net/guide/">Treasure Beach</a> as I read about the world's best beach shack, <a href="http://islandoutpost.com/jakes/">Jakes</a>, in Vogue magazine and I booked a trip for the following week, I went alone as while I love traveling with friends and family I equally enjoy traveling alone..it's a different experience and one I quite enjoy. While there, I loved it so incredibly much, I booked my second trip while still on my first! That was pre recession;)<br />

3. <a href="http://www.vicentewolf.com/">Vicente Wolf'</a>s work was my inspiration for entering the world of interior design. I remember seeing his house in Montauk and it just really connected with me. His color palette which truly spoke to the environment of the landscape around his home, his use of classic furnishings offset by clean lined pieces, the utilization of natural materials and reflective surfaces, his understated use of layering contrasting materials all accented with global finds....I just loved it and wanted more of it. In fact I went home and painted my place out in all the non descriptive greeny/greigey/bluish colors he is so famous for, however I was living in a heavily shaded apartment and it just did not translate ( I now realize I needed more white and sparkle to bring it to life...but I was a newbie, give me a break)...the paint colors I used threw me into a fit a depression and I quickly made the appropriate adjustments! However, I learned the importance of acknowledging the light nature has or has not blessed you with;) At the time I was a buyer for a shop which specialized in eclectic furnishings and artifacts from around the world and we introduced <a href="http://www.vicentewolf.com/">Vicente Wolf</a>'s collection for Carter Furnishings...I was a devoted VW junkie I tell ya. Unfortunately, Carter's production capabilities were not up to par and the line just did not cut it in terms of quality control so we had to drop it....I would love to see him recreate that (price point) concept with a factory which has better production as I believe there are many more out there in this day and age which could pull it off. If this happens...note to Mr Wolf, we would love to carry it at<a href="http://www.doxahome.com/Default.asp"> DOXA Home;)</a><br />

4. I LOVE tapas, it may speak to commitment issues, simply put I would rather have a little of a lot rather than a lot of just one thing. I prefer to believe it is in response to my love of Spain but let's move on;)<br />

5. Kehinde Wiley is my most favorite modern day artist...I WILL have a piece of his in my home one day. I actually featured him and his work in a post a few months back, but I had only been blogging for like 5 weeks which means probably two people actually read it, lol, <a href="http://doxahome.blogspot.com/2009/11/kehinde-wiley.html">you can check it out here.</a><br />

6. The Holy Trinity of Fashion (in my book). Vivienne Westwood, John Galliano and the recently departed Alexander McQueen...all British and all three celebrate the dichotomies of life and blur the line between proper, prudent 18th century fixings and all things deviant...their work is always cheeky, always provocative, always engaging and always beautifully executed.<br />
<br />

</a></div>I thought I had lost these images and much to my surprise I located them in a random file on my computer. Imagine my delight!! Unfortunately <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2009/11/19/2009-11-19_jeanneclaude_wife_of_central_park_gates_artist_christo_dies_at_age_74.html">we lost Jean-Claude this past November</a> but her spirit lives on through the memories of many who had were fortunate enough to experience their work. I hope you enjoy the images and that they catch a bit of the energy that was in the air, the dichotomy of the saffron flags against the snow was both breathtaking and surreal.<br />

</span></div><span class="objAccessionNumber"></span>British designer Alexander McQueen has been hailed for his challenging perceptions of the role of fashion in political, social, and cultural criticism. His collections are often cohesive thematic interpretations, alluding to dramatic media events (the "Highland Rape," a 1996 runway consortium of tattered dresses and bloody catwalkers) as much as aesthetic or artistic movements. Credited alongside peers such as John Galliano with the return of artistry to couture in the 1990s, McQueen is one of the most conceptual fashion créateurs to clothe the runway in the early twenty-first century and continues to be celebrated for his love of tactile exploration and dramatic visual representations.<br />
<br />
<br />
A number of gowns in Alexander McQueen's "Transitions" collection of spring/summer 2003 appear to be poetic renderings of a disaster at sea. While a similar dress appeared colored like the plumage of a tropical bird, this gown of sand-colored organza recalls the mille-feuille ridging on the surface of a shell. The hem of the skirt, like the wavy lip of a giant mollusk, further emphasizes the seashell quality of the gown. But unlike Aphrodite, who was born in the foam of the sea and borne to shore on a scallop, McQueen's beauty is a bruised pearl encased in a deconstructing oyster, the tumbled survivor of the violent action of waves.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">One of the hot design directions for 2010, listed by <a href="http://www.housebeautiful.com/">House Beautiful</a>, and evident to anyone wandering through a trade show or dining in a myriad of hot NYC eateries is the New Victorian/<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steampunk">Steampunk</a> aesthetic. Personally, I love this look as it personifies the <b><a href="http://www.doxahome.com/default.asp">DOXA</a></b> approach which is <i><b>Classic Design with a Modern Sensibility</b></i>. As you will see the <a href="http://www.doxahome.com/category_s/978.htm?searching=Y&sort=1&cat=978&show=30&page=1">New Victorian</a> aesthetic can range from rustic to polished, but always collected. There is a focus on dark atmospheric tones, iron, wood and brass components, recycled mechanical pieces (representative of the turn of the century machine age) as well as an apparent appreciation for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabinet_of_curiosities">natural "curiosities"</a> and of course the iconic Edison bulb. This post features several different approaches to this aesthetic and <a href="http://www.doxahome.com/category_s/978.htm?searching=Y&sort=1&cat=978&show=30&page=1">DOXA Home</a> has introduced 60 pieces which are representative of <a href="http://www.doxahome.com/category_s/978.htm?searching=Y&sort=1&cat=978&show=30&page=1">The New Victorian</a>. Through February 9th we will be offering 15% off all pieces in the New Victorian Collection, simply enter the code <b style="color: #3d85c6;">STEAM</b> upon checkout for discount to be applied . I hope you enjoy the ride~</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">OK, OK...I know he is no longer president...but this is just such a classic photo of our former prez, and exactly how I felt when I first began the process of creating a presentation for this week's upcoming St Petersburg Times Home Show. While flattered to have been asked again, I was at a loss for content, however I have sorted it all out and the content will be revealed through the blog over the next several months or so. Anyway, I am apologizing for having been completely absent from the blog world but between the aforementioned presentation and a last minute request to take two (plus) rooms in the Florida Orchestra's showhouse (nevermind my regular projects!), I have been swamped in research and "development". I happen to love the research process and always have soundtracks to keep me going. Here are a few choice selections from today's playlist...Enjoy;)<br />

Jean Michel Basquiat <br />
<br />
Basquiat’s art career is known for his three broad, though overlapping styles. In the earliest period, from 1980 to late 1982, Basquiat used painterly gestures on canvas, often depicting skeletal figures and mask-like faces that expressed his obsession with mortality. Other frequently depicted imagery such as automobiles, buildings, police, children’s sidewalk games, and graffiti came from his experience painting on the city streets.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Yu1VWVgxiD0/S1JR1Y2PZNI/AAAAAAAABeE/Batai9RQFKE/s1600-h/basquiat-big.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Yu1VWVgxiD0/S1JR1Y2PZNI/AAAAAAAABeE/Batai9RQFKE/s320/basquiat-big.jpg" /></a><br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">A middle period from late 1982 to 1985 featured multipanel paintings and individual canvases with exposed stretcher bars, the surface dense with writing, collage and seemingly unrelated imagery. These works reveal a strong interest in Basquiat’s black identity and his identification with historical and contemporary black figures and events. On one occasion Basquiat painted his girlfriend’s dress, with his words, a “Little Shit Brown”.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>The final period, from about 1986 to Basquiat’s death in 1988, displays a new type of figurative depiction, in a new style with different symbols and content from new sources. This period seems to have also had a profound impact on the styles of artists who admired Basquiat’s work.<br />

In 1982, Basquiat became friends with pop artist Andy Warhol and the two made a number of collaborative works. They also painted together, influencing each others’ work. Some speculated that Andy Warhol was merely using Basquiat for some of his techniques and insight. Their relationship continued until Warhol’s death in 1987. Warhol’s death was very distressing for Basquiat, and it is speculated by Phoebe Hoban, in Basquiat, her 1998 biography on the artist, that Warhol’s death was a turning point for Basquiat, and that afterwards his drug addiction and depression began to spiral.<br />

If you have yet to see Basquiat...download it now. I remember seeing it at the <a href="http://www.tampatheatre.org/">Tampa Theater</a>, which I must cover in another post. Anyway, a great film (although the visuals and soundtrack are much stronger than the actual screenplay) which features EVERYONE... Dennis Hopper, David Bowie, Benicio Del Torro, Christopher Walken, Gary Oldham, Willem Defoe, Claire Forlani, Courtney Love, Parker Posey AND the film was done by art world big wig as well as designer of <a href="http://www.ianschragercompany.com/">Ian Schrager's</a> <a href="http://www.gramercyparkhotel.com/">Gramercy Park Hotel</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_Schnabel">Julian Schnabel</a> ( Hello, can we say that is a giant Studio 54 connection going on there...Schrager, Schnabel, Basquiat, Bowie, Hopper!)! If you are already fascinated with the NY art scene in the late 70's/early 80's then you will LOVE this film, actually you will have probably already seen it...<br />

Pras and fellow Haitian artist, Wyclf Jean with the incomparable Lauren Hill in the legendary, multi-Grammy winning Fugees, this video was actually filmed in Haiti...although it looks just like the country parts of Jamaica to me...which is my favorite place in the great JA;) More about that later.<br />
<br />
"Fu-Gee-La" is the first single from the Fugees' second album, The Score. The song, which was produced by Salaam Remi, contains a sample of "If Loving You Is Wrong, I Don't Want To Be Right" by Ramsey Lewis, and its chorus is based on "Ooh La La La" by Teena Marie. Several remixes of the song (the "Refugee Camp Remix" and the "Sly & Robbie Remix") also appear on The Score. It is the highest-selling single from the Fugees, and has been certified gold by RIAA.<br />
