WHAT I LIKE- MY FAVORITE STYLES OF HOMES
02.06.12

traditional today is fresh, relevant, in the mix- the new traditional!

today is the first post in a series of my favorite styles of homes (i’m a fan of many). not a surprise i’m starting with traditional, it’s what i love! i love moldings, details, layers, accessories, collections, antiques- it has to be chic, glamorous and stylish! what’s not to love!

what i love even more is traditional with a touch of modern, a contemporary mix- old with a bit of new, feminine with a bit of masculine, high and low, light and dark! fresh and comfortable, relevant and relaxed! the new chic mix!

i love the mix of fabrication and textures- wood finishes with a bit of painted finishes, bronze with a bit of gilt, linen with a bit of velvet, leather with a bit of glass, solids with a few patterns! i could go on and on, but i’ll save it and you can read a few others posts on the new traditional here and here.

it’s all about the mix, all about traditional with a bit of it all- all of it chic! that’s what’s new- that’s today’s traditional!

    for some reason that dark blue on white floral/toile in several of the rooms is really speaking to me lately. is it just me?

    oh, and that bilhuber room in the laird bridgehampton home – one of my favorite rooms ever!

    thank you mark!

    ps i also still have the house & garden tear sheets of the whitney home. did you know they wear renting it out a few summers ago?

    Your room is my favorite of the bunch, although there are some incredible rooms here.

    I used a similar shot of your house in my post today about interior photography– maybe you could shed some light on the subject?

    Mark,
    as a designer for over 25 years. I love your take on traditional. I always enjoy *mixing* it up…As long as we how maintain the overall
    *beauty* than add pleases that are totally unexpected and turn a space into a room or home…Where one walks always thinking, “My this home is done with such good taste.”

    I adore all of Miles, Yours and my dear friend & mentor the late Mark Hampton. ~MSS
