We really enjoyed the fact that Domino showed off their sweet apartment in Portland, Maine in the March "Green Issue".
Blogging Domino: 03.07 - Wary Meyers Decorative Arts
Domino featured the fact that they are "curatorial collectors"; that they spend time each day checking estate sales, flea markets, vintage shops and dumpsters for their finds. Thier place in the "green" theme is secured by the fact that they make used items very fashionable, what they work with is "salvaged chic".
A quote from the article: "It's not that we are against new stuff, per se", Linda explains, "It's just that there are so many exquisitely designed pieces out there that are crying out for the chance to live new lives. They're so much better ff with us and our clients than in a landfill!".
We love that they love one of our all-time favorite used decor book finds (that we look at all the time) - the 1974 version of the House Book by Terence Conran. It's absolutely worth searching out and finding a spot on a book shelf for it - tons of inspiration.
For lots more of Wary Meyers work visit their site which is loaded with good photos (and pick up the March issue of Domino for new photos and resource info).

Does anyone know where the glass coffee table they use in many of their interiors is from? It looks like what I'm searching for, and fingers crossed, is it affordable? Or a common flea market find?
laura, are you talking about the mies van der rohe table? this one:

as you can see, no, it isn't cheap. but if you're lucky, they occasionally show up second-hand, but almost never with a cheap price tag.
I loved seeing their space in Domino magazine. I first heard of them last year (October) via Lena Corwin's blog and then, SFGirlByBay in January. It was great to see them in Domino, I loved looking at their home in Maine. I assumed they lived in NYC for some reason.
I'm hoping they release a book at some point, I'll be first in line to purchase a copy - I find their work so inspirational and highly creative - not text book by any means, very authentic.
Their home is like a visual travel diary of sorts, if that even makes sense...

The printed fabric on their dining room walls makes me hyperventilate with longing. The article said it was a flea-market find. Sigh!
