I feel in love with this living room last year when it was published! The portraits are what inspired me to begin a collections of old portraits. Just wish I had heigh ceilings like this space!
Old portraits paired with mid century furntiure, brilliant!
{note to self, design high ceilings for lake house!}

Beautiful image of Lauren Bacall
Her glamorous beauty durning an era of amazing movie making mixed with a few of my favorite modern pieces of furniture is fresh colours in the home of landscape designer Jay Griffith.


What are your thoughts on large portraits? a wall of portraits?
I personally love them!
