Picture-Perfect Modernism

Interior photographers have a special way of capturing the essence and beauty of spaces, and adding their personal vision to every frame they take. Today, we're in luck. The New York Times is inviting us to take a peek inside the amazing home of one of these extremely gifted photographers. Jonn Coolidge, a 20th century design aficionado, recently moved from a suburban, three-bedroom house into a smaller, two-bedroom flat in Hollywood, California. His dilemma: fitting his extensive collection of 20th century modern furnishings and art into his new home. I guess that's when he applied his editing abilities to his own place. The result: a well-balanced and picture-perfect home that exhibits his impressive modern possessions, and makes you forget the original Mediterranean style of the apartment. 

Remember, today is your last chance to enter this week's giveaway, don't miss out!

i love the use of colorful pottery to accent the mid-century simplicity of this home. my inspiration comes from the 3 george nelson vintage steelcase chest of drawers i found at an estate sale. they are both functional and beautiful. the color palatte is turquoise, gold, and mint green - kind of a current ferm living color palette. it's finding its way into the rest of my home.

With the white and neat background of the room in the house, the colorful pottery adds up a life on it. I think it balance the mood in every spot of the room and every furniture is perfectly placed and arranged.
