Objects d' Art Ivan Meade

IVAN MEADE OBJECTS D' ART  

I was recently gifted with this extraordinary 925 Sterling Silver Object d' Art by the talented & inspired designer Ivan Meade. It is now a treasured piece in my home. Below is the story of Ivan’s inspiration for creating this piece. I love it when artists share how they came to design a piece….and how their works of art are birthed into the world of form.

Ticking Stripe

I've been thinking a lot about summer. Done with winter for sure ! Ticking stripe always reminds me of summer. Not exactly sure why, but I'm loving these particular photos. Unfortunately, all these pictures are from summers past and Pottery Barn no longer carries these, but I'm sure there are others like it. I especially love that quilt in the first one. Make you want to jump right in and cozy up!

Rita's Sofa Update

Sofa Before

It really is amazing what some new fabric on a sofa or chair can do to a room. Look at Rita Konig's sofa update above. I think the fabric she chose is perfect. Doesn't it make a difference?! I often encourage clients to recover existing pieces. It's one of the most effective ways of updating a room along with adding some beautiful new cushions and maybe a few accessories as well.
