Pete and Yana found it hard to shop for living room furniture when several indie furniture stores shuttered during the housing bust. The tangerine couch and patterened chair & loveseat came from Macys and the rug from CB2. It had been discontinued, but the pair found it randomly on a trip to Chicago at a CB2 outlet and had it shipped back home. The paintings above the sofa L to R: IKEA; Wassily Kandisnkey piece purchaed at a Las Vegas MOMA exhibit. The tiny wooden table was originally found at West Elm, and again at Target... on clearance!
The dining room has fantastic frosted glass Home Depot doors ($370 each) the couple painted to match the sunroom.
“I have had a life long obsession with Scandinavian and Danish modern and so-called mid-century furniture in general,” says Pete. “I like the clean lines and simplicity of most of the Scandinavian/Danish school of design.” Pete searched locally for a Danish modern dining room set for over a year. After coming up empty, he asked his sister to help him by scouting the Atlanta Craigslist site. Nothing.
And then one day on a hunting trip for a kitchen faucet at Habitat For Humanity's Restore on OBT and Princeton, he spied a 1960s teak table and six Benny Linden chairs from Scan Design (each about $295 new), checked the country of origin (Denmark) beneath the table, sent photos to hi wife and took the whole package home for $400, around the cost of just one of those Benny Linden chairs new.
An Atlanta friend found this 1950s bar, with built-in olive spears and automatic light, at an Atlanta antique shop. Pete immediately took to it, as it reminded him of the one Darrin had on Bewitched. After helping his friend move several times he was rewarded for his efforts: his friend gave him her bar! Its the only piece of furniture that made it to Orlando when he moved from Atlanta twelve years ago.
"Corpuscles," by artist Brigan Gresh, was purchased at The Red Tag sale at Stardust, a yearly artists clearance sale/show.
The bed is from the now-shuttered Living Quarters store. The dresser is from West Elm.
These IKEA doors were originally made for a wardrobe. "I learned a lesson about 'measuring twice and cutting once' with this project," he says. "I took the measurements of the cabinet at Ikea, instead of the actual door. When I hung the doors they were about 4 inches short. I had to add a strip of aluminum at the bottom from the left over hardware." A black and white wedding photo of the couple by Orlando/NYC Photographer Wheat Wurtzberger is hanging above the chair next to the doors. He shot the entire wedding with infrared film.
In the sunroom, this thick IKEA coffee table got caught under the fall of a 200 pound man (Pete) when he fell face first (a la Chris Farley) onto it. The table survived damage-free. The art above the white bookcases are Sanford Salvation Army store finds featuring wood frame, burlap and glazed metal pieces.
Pete designed this CD cabinet himself, and a cabinet-maker friend built it for him over the course of year. The friend dropped it off the night before she moved to California.
This thrift store find intrigued Pete. he couldn't believe someone would make it and then frame it. So he bought. This "carpet painting" is disliked by Yana for the record.
