Make Me Drool, Baker
Because that’s what you always do when I’m in your showroom. I get all weak in the knees over your furniture – especially if we’re on a tour with the likes of Bill Sofield, whom Trish blogged about earlier this month.
You define “covet” in the dictionary – yes you do, you tease, and you know it.
That’s why I got the butterflies all over again when I saw pictures of two model units the Baker design team recently decorated at 22West downtown (which seems to be where all the cool designers show off their work – I blogged about Vastu and Contemporaria’s model units last year).
See what I mean:
Unit 2K/ Two Bedrooms
The living room includes designs from the Thomas Pheasant, Jacques Garcia, and Laura Kirar collections. Highlights are the Biomorphic Mirror and the carved lion’s head chair from the Stately Homes collection.
Round walnut dining table by Bill Sofield, surrounded by upholstered dining chairs by Thomas Pheasant
I would never leave this intimate library. I especially love the chaise longue and the monumental étagères.
The owner’s bedroom features a velvet bed by Jacques Garcia. Velvet. Bed.
The guest bedroom is furnished with mahogany bed and side tables by Thomas Pheasant.
Unit 2E/ One Bedroom
The dining room screams out (in a good way – always in a good way) with the bronze-and-alabaster Brighton chandelier, which hangs above a white lacquer table from the Lexicon collection. The Ming-inspired sideboard is colored “a brilliant Blaze.” Even their color names are sexy.
The living room includes Salon chairs by Bill Sofield, and a dramatic 104-inch sofa by Jacques Garcia.
More drama: An orange den with a rich chocolate sofa, and one of Sofield’s trademark tiny tusk stools.
I’m LOVING these hip lamps, which sit atop ivory lacquer side tables that flank a Scandinavian-inspired bed – all from the Baker Studio line.
I’m hoping someday to afford you, Baker, but until then, I will have to worship you from afar (sigh…).
