I picked up the old front gate from a demolition yard as having one custom made was way too expensive. This one cost a mere $40!!

I covered most of the exterior windows with black and white stripe awnings as above.

Knock-Off Report: How to Get a Mid-Century Look With Ikea

The Trollsta tray table - $99

Have you figured out yet that I’m obsessed with Mid-Century modern design? Even so, alas, I don’t have the income to go the *authentic* route, what with a child and his future at stake (i.e. I’d rather save for his ivy-league education), so I usually go the knock-off or “inspired-by” route. I like [...]



Mike Witt

By Ty Wenzel • Oct 22nd, 2008 • Category: Interiors Exteriors

Visit DesireToInspire!

Mike Witt designs rooms with a modern aesthetic with more than a nod to mid-century influences. Is it obvious that he has spent years of studying, buying and selling 20th century decorative and fine arts? To me these spaces are classics of the future. Even though he uses finishes that may be thought cold [...]



Guido Barbagelata

Visit DesireToInspire!

Big, bright, bold …. bravo! Strong gutsy images from Italian photographer Guido Barbagelata. The colours are intense, the composition is spot on and the photos have a real presence. This ain’t no wishy washy portfolio. Italians have style and a great eye for beauty but Guido takes it to the next level. You’ll find [...]

Purple Reigns in Interior Design

By Ty Wenzel • Sep 5th, 2008 • Category: Interiors Exteriors, Style Trend Forcasting

According to Decorati ‘this fall purple – the colour of royalty is ready to rule’. I would agree with them – having in mind the connection between fashion and interior design. According to the latest fashion reviews this season’s color du jour is berry and its many shades, from deep purple to bright magenta. Also, [...]



BotanistSeries.com by Orange 22

The anchoring philosophy of Botanist furniture is the “blank canvas.” What this means is taking a technologically advanced but sustainable piece of furniture that is simple – then giving the twist of different colors, finishes and graphics that make them fresh and new, upgradeable from season to season.
The Process:
Each piece starts as a flat [...]

Home Decor Inspired by the Sea

By Ty Wenzel • Aug 1st, 2008 • Category: Interiors Exteriors, Style Trend Forcasting

The ocean is one of my favorite places in the world to reflect, dream, meditate, and become inspired. The vast, blue water and rolling waves create a peaceful environment that I could enjoy day in and day out! With a peaceful setting like this, there’s no surprise that many furniture designs have come from the [...]

Drew Barrymore’s Office

By Ty Wenzel • Mar 24th, 2008 • Category: Interiors Exteriors, Retro Modern

Drew Barrymore used to frequent the bar that I worked for many years ago (Marion’s on the Bowery, NYC) and I have to say, she is the NICEST celebrity I’ve ever met (Keanu Reeves was the most PRETENTIOUS). She became friendly with the staff, even had dinner with our host, Louis DeLuca, for a [...]
