That Vintage Look

Dean Farris Interior Design

I was inspired last night, to make a slight change in my Naples living room~(flanked the sofa with these vintage Louis style chairs) ~and then got this fun, very 1930's looking image from shooting in the dark, with only two light sources~one in the bedroom and one in the hall behind me.  One would never know this was taken in 2015, not 1935 !  Notice Elsie the cow gazing out from the bedroom!   DF*****

What fun to make a new mood board~ for my current inspirations and muses~ I'm watching "Roman Holiday" while dreaming of all of the above fabulous images...here's a quote from ultra chic all-time icon of all actresses, Audrey H~

I also enjoy "Fashion Police" with Joan Rivers~

Put on some lipstick and enjoy the day!

If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface of my paintings and films and me, and there I am. There’s nothing behind it.

Once you ‘got’ Pop, you could never see a sign again the same way again. And once you thought Pop, you could never see America the same way again.

It would be very glamorous to be reincarnated as a great big ring on Liz Taylor’s finger.

The famous installation

Isn’t life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?

In the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.

I’m afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning.
-Andy Warhol 

While this image, above, is not showing a Warhol, 

it's from the same house in River Oaks that Joni 

Webb recently showed on her blog- from a new 

lifestyle shelter magazine- I really liked very much 

the decor of the house featured- click here to go to 

Houston designer Pamela Pierces site for her 

MILIEU magazine....ENJOY!  Cheers!  DF *****

20th Anniversary Celebration

Room of the Week, Todd Alexander Romano

I met Todd Romano through my friend the late Parkin Saunders, in New York. Parkin was quite fond of Todd as he is such a talent, and a Texas native. (Parkin was from Arkansas) - anyway, Todd has showrooms in New York and L.A. and he did a dining room at the 2012 Kips Bay Decorator Showhouse. I went on TAR's site and found this gorgeous lacquered living room he did for a client in NYC. I love the way Todd has showcased Andy Warhol and other artists in his rooms, and his sense of color and use of sexy chairs (French) as well as his overall point of view. This long banquette he used is sensational, and we could certainly provide something similar through either KREISS or our design service, Interiors By Design West, here in Naples. Enjoy! DF *****(P.S. this lacquer wall treatment reminds me of the townhouse duplex Angelo Donghia lived in - which I was lucky to visit back in the day) .
