Natural materials, Saarinen tables, bentwood chairs, four-poster beds, boldly patterned wall coverings, and hat racks galore are just some of the signature elements of a Tom Scheerer interior. Whether a loft in Manhattan, a pied-a-terre in Paris, a country house in Maine, or a vacation home on Antigua, the Scheerer magic is unmistakable. Each project exudes a serenity and a sense of comfort and ease that derive from its perfect proportions combined with fresh, unpretentious beauty. It all seems completely effortless, belying the fierce intelligence and impeccable eye behind every decorating decision.
In this, Scheerer's second book, twenty of his latest projects are featured, including city houses and apartments in New York, Dallas, Houston, and Paris, summer houses in Florida, the Hamptons, and Maine, and tropical houses in Palm Beach and on Harbour Island, Antigua, and Abaco.
Valentine's Day has (finally) come and gone, and pretty soon all the shops will start taking down the myriad of cardboard hearts they'd hung up, sweeping up all the fallen rose petals and selling their extra stock of donuts and chocolates for what they're sure to call 'unbeatable prices', while having probably marked them up exorbitantly the week before anyway.
Valentine's Day isn't for everyone, whether they're coupled-up or not. But the fact remains, some things just work better in pairs. Like knitting needles, and your car's headlights, and even Princess Leia's buns. And, of course, running socks, like those from Balega, which just happen to be our main deal today! Three pairs of them, mind you!
