My love affair with mid-century modern furnishings goes on and on. Although I don’t carry many pieces from that era in my store, when I find something that fits the vibe here, I add it to the collection. Such is the case with this pair of wonderful Danish stools! Covered in a removable New Zealand wool topper, they would look excellent under a sunny window, in lieu of a traditional coffee table, as foot stools for more contemporary chairs, or as impromptu seating in an eclectic space:
I loved the 1970’s aesthetic and the warmth of the toppers. It brought to mind a sexy lodge in Aspen or a hip San Francisco condo. Since I love them, they’re here at Apartment 46. End of story.
I also love these horse head bookends from the mid-1950’s. When I found them they were naked pine. While that was beautiful, I kept thinking that they needed to make more of a statement. I painted them a glossy lacquer white and now they can take their rightful place on any modern mantelpiece, bookshelf, window sill or side table. They make fantastic art pieces and are very exaggerated, almost Roman in feel:
When I think about Winter, it makes me want to create a home that is both cozy and interesting. A warm and inviting space where you are inspired to create, dream, and plan for the future.
Stay toasty my friends!
