Modern or Traditional- which do you prefer?

1stdibs had some nice designer features and stories this month, and I was really pleased with how varied styles were between designers. It was interesting to see how they swayed to a very modern style or over to a traditional style. It did seem like the traditional designers were a little more inclined to add some modern elements to their projects.

TRADITIONAL

Joe Nye was deliberate in his traditional styling - I love how this room is so small, but still feels "complete"

This pretty pink room from Southern Accents is traditional in most of it's furnishing, but the restraint used throughout I find very modern.

I love the branches in vases, as opposed to flowers


A traditional bedroom by Jay Jeffers, in my opinion his use of color ads a nice contemporary touch.

MODERN




Carlos Junqueira's large white space in NYC is a showroom for his love of modern design.

Look at this great interior design resource and store!

I found a really unique website this week that would be a great place for anyone on the hunt for antique and vintage furniture, called 1stdibs. I imagine some of you already know about it. It's a great place to stay abreast of what's going on in the field, as they feature designers, recommended books, and dealers.

Just a sample at some of the great selection you can find - registration was very fast and easy






Take a peak at recommended books and designer profiles -

Tres Chic Inspirational Interiors

Last night I finished painting my bedroom a lovely powder French-country blue (pictures too come!), so needles to say I have French country on the brain. French country can vary so greatly because France is so large, but most people probably think of the idyllic cottages of Provence. My definition is probably a little too loose for some, all I know is I love the sophisticated rustic charm, bringing touches of the outdoors inside, and the romance.
