While searching for fabric to complete my most recent restoration project (see previous post on our Milo Baughman recliner) I looked to one of my favorite elle decor photos for inspiration. I’m working on bringing the varied wood and leather hues and the warm rust and mustard in designer Robert Stilin’s sitting room into our own living area. I think the Knoll “Red Fox” boucle is a good dupe for the deep, weathered patina on Robert Stilin’s leather chair.
Officially hooked on Commune. Earlier we took a look at Roman Alonso’s place. He heads up the firm’s design team. Here are a few photos of a Silver Lake, LA residence that Commune took on a few years back. I am so very enamored with the design firm’s rustic modern look and their use of african textiles and mid century furniture.
Kathryn Bentley of Dream Collective and Roman Alonso of Commune are neighbors inhabiting one very cool craftsman in Silver Lake, a hilly neighborhood northwest of Downtown Los Angeles. Both of these apartments are beyond fabulous, full of colorful and patinaed accessories. Roman’s place (above and below) is collected rather than decorated and filled with some of the wonderful wares from his design firm’s shop. These photos are from a House Beautiful spread, so click over and take peek. Be on the look out for a full post of Kathryn’s spot.
