good tips. i actually agree with it, and its tottaly work.
LA-based interior designer Tamara Kaye-Honey calls her charmingly bold and invitingly livable style "new vintage." Here, she breaks down what the look is all aboutWhen I design a room, I often love to mix vintage and new in unexpected ways. But sometimes, the old pieces start to look exactly that—old. Instead of just throwing them away, however, I like to have a little fun and reinvent them. Adding your new, truly one-of-a-kind piece to the mix, is a great way to give a space some soul.The master bedroom (on the left) perfectly blends old and new. The classical nightstand feels fresh and modern when lacquered in blue with a fun white stripe. The Grecian-style marble lamp grounds the stripe and helps create a grown-up yet cheery feel to the room.Don’t be afraid to be bold when choosing a color for your furniture facelift. For this young family's TV room (on the right), a vintage James Mont credenza in a high-gloss Chinese red lacquer makes a daring, modern statement. I took it one step further by covering the entire piece - including hardware—in the same color.This breakfast room (on the left) is an homage to the late, great David Hicks. A vintage gaming table surrounded by chairs I've lacquered in high gloss tangerine and upholstered in a deep orange vinyl, energizes the space. This reinvented dining set really comes to life and pops against the midnight blue wall, ceiling and floor.For me this jewel-box dining room (on the right) was all about glamour. Whimsical Osbourne and Little wallpaper cocoons the space and I've employed a vintage chandelier to accentuate the painted gold ceiling. To really amp up the wow factor, I've lacquered a Karl Springer dining table in parchment paint and flanked it with two fur-throw covered antique bergere chairs. At night the space really does glow!This piece originally appeared on housebeautiful.com
