Interior Architecture as Design Springboard

Historical restoration inspires me to look beyond the obvious and into the less visible details. More often than not these elements influence the interior design.  The Arthur Astor Carey House (see previous article, First Colonial Revival Home in America) is a Colonial Revival home on Fayerweather Street in Cambridge and an exceptional example. Soon after… Read more »

First Colonial Revival Home in America

In another first for Heidi Pribell Interiors, I’ve returned to the Arthur Astor Carey House, 28 Fayerweather Street in Cambridge, having worked with Governor William Weld’s family to prepare the home for sale in 2012.   The new owners have asked me to restore and update the premises in this total gut renovation of America’s first Colonial… Read more »

Behind the Scenes: Art & Music at Harvard

Ancient Pigments Thursday after work I was in the conservation labs of the Harvard Art Museum.  The director, Narayan Khandekar,  was discussing the Forbes legendary collection of pigment examples used throughout history. Essentially a chemist who loves art, Narayan devotes large amounts of time to scientifically analyzing pigments.  He compares his work to that of… Read more »

Winter Lyricism

Generally I think of winter as stark and colorless.  Yet in February before the snowfall I took a walk through Lincoln.

“Old World Ornamentation”

New Trend — Austerity is dull!  Last week the Wall Street Journal announced that “fringe, cording and tassels” were one of five new major trends.  Yes, old world ornamentation does give character to modern upholstery. History is not only a source of wisdom, but also comfort in our rapidly changing millennium. Classical Georgian & Empire antiques have unwavering appeal…. Read more »

YELLOW!!

“There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot, but there are others who, thanks to their art and intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun.”  Pablo Picasso Yellow is universally associated with life-giving sunlight.  In addition to being the lightest and brightest, yellow is THE most cheerful on the color spectrum.  As… Read more »
