He can put together pieces old and new like nobody's business.

It's all laid out for a wonderful, insightful read in his book, American Modern.

After reading- and re-reading- and studying his work, I've been on the hunt for vintage.

Next NYC trip: a visit Thomas O'brien's shop,
Areo. He's a collector of sorts as well as a product designer. In his book, he talks about bringing in just the right piece from his collection to a client's home; a candlestick for a custom mantel, a collection of vintage prints above a bed or a staircase wall, a mid-century tray on a sofa table holding a collection of books, pottery, and objects of interest.
Oh, I love it all...
...and have been feverishly working- hunting- collecting for my new venture...
No items listed yet. Still working on the photography and learning how it all works. But, hope to have it up by mid October! I'll be blogging about it more as time draws near.
Here are just a few of my over 120 plus (and growing) items I'll be listing.
