Do you do a blend of contemporary pieces and antiques? I love antiquing but I find it hard to blend the aesthetic with the rest of my home. Any thoughts or resources on this?

I do have a blend - I usually try to make it work by tying it all together through color. For example - I have a lot of navy touches in my kitchen and family room (that are open), and I got navy velvet chesterfield sofas for my family room, which are vintage-inspired. This helps to tie in some of the true antique pieces I have on the shelves in that space. I also have a lot of brass in my office space - it’s a blend of new and old brass, but the brass ties it all together.

Finally, sometimes I look at smaller spaces and make them intentionally more antique. I took a half bathroom, put a fabulous wallpaper up, and hung this gorgeous antique chandelier as the light fixture. It’s a pop of fun and fabulous in a more modern home, and I love it.
