| Thomas Pheasan'ts St. Honore Chest is based on a 1950s style and was scaled for the entry way and reworked for Pheasant's own home. Crotch mahogany and carved blossom relief doors made to resemble the facade of a 1930s Paris apartment house. |
Pheasantly Surprised . . . Thomas Pheasant's beautiful new collection at Baker, Knapp & Tubbs is arriving now in Dallas, and it's one of my favorites to hit the showroom in a long time. The details are exquisite, and nothing is more finely crafted than a piece of Baker furniture. I can see some French 40s influence in many of the pieces, a little Art Deco and Asian here and there, and the backs of the chairs remind me of the gilding on Maison Jansen tables. To see the full collection, go here, and watch for my upcoming story in the July issue of Modern Luxury Interiors Texas.

| Dentelle from Creation Baumann, at ID Collection in Dallas and Houston |
Summer's Here . . . I'm charmed by the fabrics from Swiss textiles house, Creation Baumann, whose Dentelle collection, above, looks like a doily or something my grandmother would have crocheted, only much chicer. I can't help but think about the hand-made Estsy-esque trend that upstaged everything at this year's International Furniture Fair. Here's a good story in the NY Times about the hand-crafted trend at ICFF if you missed it.
