I love the artwork above the fireplace...anyone know who it is by?
Anyone else think Mondo (from Project Runway) and J. Adler would make a great team?
I'd go for gold over a sliver any day.
I feel oh-so-very validated! Huge JA fan, and making small purchases here and there for my once-and-future living room...in wolf grey (couch), sun porch (focus wall) and accents in silver! Very excited for this book to come out...
He's toned it down since his apt review on Metropolitan Home (R.I.P.); loving the new side of his crazy creations. :)
Love love love it! Love the punches of color! I feature another one of his rooms on my blog. Please check it out http://designsavvyofnj.blogspot.com
He is one of my top picks of deisgners in our area!
Yes! I would also love to know who the art over the fireplace is by!! Ever since I saw this featured in Met home I've been trying to find out.
Anyone!?
