darryl carter

1stdibs just reminded me why I like Darryl Carter so much...he makes “traditional” look so fresh!  He mixes antiques, flea market finds, and modern pieces so they look like they belong together.  He also loves dogs, lives in DC and is a lawyer who turned designer...my inspiration! Here are some of my favorite pics... 

Not afraid to mix woods and adds visual interest with mix of textures and pattern in accent rug

Great furniture for a family...table looks better the more abuse it gets and chair seats are covered in something durable.

Don't have great art then hang pictures of your family and pets.

                       

Like the contrast of dark furniture and accents against white.    Darryl Carter is always repurposing items for his interiors...very green!

                                   

Thanks Josh for giving me one of my favorite design books!  You really got me thinking.
