Lots to like here: the whole modern-inside-of-rustic feel plus the great black/white/wood combo.

I’m so attracted to what’s going on in this space–from the texture coming in with the brick to the sophistication created by the materials.

This space sums up my mantra of color, texture and materials perfectly. All those great surfaces plus the depth and warmth provided by the palette make this space so inviting.

Starting Point: MCM Chair

modern MCM dining chair art Japanese Trash masculine design starting point

A note from Dave: If, like me, you’ve ever wondered how to make the leap from what you’ve got now to what will work better in the way of items to use while decking out your place, this new series of posts is for you. With the Starting Point posts, I’ll give my thoughts on where to focus when working to get from where you are now to where you want to go. Today: a place to start.

So you’re waking up to the fact that you want a space you can be proud of and that better reflects your taste, but you’re not sure how to get started. Here’s some food for thought: you can’t go wrong scouting and ponying up for a classic Mid-Century Modern chair. From the Eames DCM pictured above to any number of well-known alternatives, if you find one that resonates for you and you bring it into your space, it will serve you well for a lifetime. For a look at how well these iconic pieces play in any kind of interior, just take a look at my MCM-tagged entries here.

Item: Eames Molded Dining Chair DCM at hive.

Sometimes a space–like this office–resonates for me because of the pieces, rather than the whole. Subway tile, industrial lamps, and the modern application of the wood all work.
