Not really a new house, but a dining and living room full of beautiful Arts & Craft / Mission style furnishings bought over the past year at antique sales and stores, and finally put together by Eric and his wonderful sense of style....
Like mother like son, I have inherited a deep love for old furniture that have traveled though time being handed down from generation to generation.... While modern style might work for some, I find it has no soul and becomes broken and worthless as time passes by. Think about modern appointments of the seventies.....
Over the past couple of years, I have been following Eric to numerous antique shows and stores and became "infected" by his passion for beautiful, early 20th century american furniture. I knew nothing about the arts and crafts style and movement (I thought it was all about mormon scrap-booking and quilting at first)
He somehow managed to strongly coerce me into saving most of my earnings from the Paris Bistro and invest them into something more durable than a couple of evenings out. I have to admit that I am very glad I listened to him for my house now looks fantastic, and very much in tune with the style of my neighborhood, which boasts quite a few centenarian American bungalows....
