THOMAS O'BRIEN

I'M SO IN LOVE WITH MASCULINE DESIGN AND I THINK THAT THOMAS O'BRIEN DOES IT PRETTY PERFECT. HIS MIXTURE OF OLD AND NEW, ANTIQUE AND MODERN IS DONE SO WELL. WITH THE LIMITED COLOR PALLET OF BLACKS, WHITES, CREAMS, NAVY'S AND WOOD, HIS ROOMS HAVE S SENSE OF WARMTH AND FLOW. THE PERFECT SPARNESS AND THE OBJECT RICHNESS FOUND IN HIS ROOMS ARE IN MY MIND, JUST RIGHT. IF I WERE TO COPY SOMEONES ROOMS, DOWN TO THE "T", IT WOULD BE HIS.

 

THOMAS O'BRIEN HAS WRITTEN A BOOK CALLED THE AMERICAN MODERN. IN IT HE TAKES YOU THROUGH HIS HOME, LOFT AND A FEW OF HIS OTHER PROJECTS TEACHING YOU HOW TO ACHIEVE HOW HE WORKS AND THINK. I DO NOT HAVE THE PLEASURE OF OWNING IT YET... BUT IT IS ON THE CHRISTMAS LIST :) ALSO CHECK OUT HIS SHOP AND STUDIO CALLED AERO. IT IS QUITE YUMMY!

FINALLY IN THE HOUSE...

WELL, WE ARE MOVED IN... YAY!! I LOVE THE NEW HOUSE. IT HAS SOME QUIRKS, AND SOME THINGS THAT, DESIGN WISE, WOULD NOT BE MY FAVORITE... BUT THAT'S THE FUN PART. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE CHALLENGE OF MAKING BEAUTIFUL SOMETHING THAT IS NOT. I HAVE TAKEN BEFORE PICS, SO I CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW YOU THE AFTER, FINISHED PROJECTS.

AS FAR AS MY STUDIO WORK GOES, I AM HOPING TO START BACK UP HERE IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. I ALREADY HAVE TWO PIECES SITTING AND WAITING FOR ME TO GIVE THEM SOME TLC AND FIND THEM A NEW HOME.
