Don Tankersley & Co.This walnut screen wall seperates the guest wing from the public areas of the house. Adds a lot of personality without being distracting or busy.
LMOH HomeThis great room was an aesthetic challenge, with unbalanced windows and cubbies that weren't entirely functional flanking the fireplace. Our client wanted to enhance the use of their space and apply their own Mid-century inspired style. We began by balancing the feature fireplace wall by covering the small windows and demolishing the cubbies in favor of custom-built cabinets that looked like furnishings. We installed shimmering wall coverings and added modern floating shelves. We styled the space with simple, scaled accessories to finish. The swivel club chairs bridged the space, allowing guests to face the kitchen and dining areas while entertaining.

While we adore all of our clients and the beautiful structures which we help fill and adorn, like a parent adores all of their children, this recent mid-century modern interior design project was a particular delight.
This client, a smart, energetic, creative, happy person, a man who, in-person, presents as refined and understated — he wanted color. Lots of color. When we introduced some color, he wanted even more color: Bright pops; lively art.
In fact, it started with the art.
This new homeowner was shopping at SLATE ( https://slateart.net) for art one day… many people choose art as the finishing touches to an interior design project, however this man had not yet hired a designer.
He mentioned his predicament to SLATE principal partner (and our dear partner in art sourcing) Danielle Fox, and she promptly referred him to us.
At the time that we began our work, the client and his architect, Jack Backus, had finished up a massive remodel, a thoughtful and thorough update of the elegant, iconic mid-century structure (originally designed by Ratcliff & Ratcliff) for modern 21st-century living.
And when we say, “the client and his architect” — we mean it. In his professional life, our client owns a metal fabrication company; given his skills and knowledge of engineering, build, and production, he elected to act as contractor on the project.
His eye for metal and form made its way into some of our furniture selections, in particular the coffee table in the living room, fabricated and sold locally by Turtle and Hare.
Color for miles: One of our favorite aspects of the project was the long hallway. By choosing to put nothing on the walls, and adorning the length of floor with an amazing, vibrant, patterned rug, we created a perfect venue. The rug stands out, drawing attention to the art on the floor.
In fact, the rugs in each room were as thoughtfully selected for color and design as the art on the walls. In total, on this project, we designed and decorated the living room, family room, master bedroom, and back patio. (Visit www.lmbinteriors.com to view the complete portfolio of images.)
While my design firm is known for our work with traditional and transitional architecture, and we love those projects, I think it is clear from this project that Modern is also our cup of tea.
If you have a Modern house and are thinking about how to make it more vibrantly YOU, contact us for a consultation.

A renovation of an ornate, parlor level brownstone apartment on the Promenade in Brooklyn Heights with views to the Manhattan skyline. The space was reconfigured to create long views through the apartment around a sculptural “core”, its modern detailing and materials acting in counterpoint to the grandeur of the original detailing.

Bill Fry Construction - Wm. H. Fry Const. Co.This is a rebuild of a Bay Area mid-century home. The floors are made of porcelain tile that looks like wood. The heating system is radiant heat which transfers heat better through tile than through hardwood. This stainless steel vertical fireplace burns ethanol fuel. The fireplace is by Ecosmart Fireplace: according to the Ecosmart website, "EcoSmart Fireplaces are fuelled by bioethanol, a renewable liquid fuel produced from agricultural by-products which burns clean - no smoke, no sparks, no fuss."
