One reason I think Ruthie Sommers' design aesthetic is so popular is that she recycles and reuses furniture that she use to sell in her now-closed store in Hollywood, Chapman Radcliffe Home, and in her clients' homes too...here is a house in Hollywood she designed...
Notice the bedside table, which looks like a piece you would see in any consignment shop or Goodwill store repainted to look glamorous!...
This chair looks like it came from a consignment shop, redone with new upholstery...the sconces on the wall are vintage too...
Ruthie made this home more personal with items already owned and used...not brand new...it is a great way for the client to save money and own something unique...you can use organic fabrics too that don't cost a lot (more on that later)...I'll be back on Friday with the Fabulous Fabrics series - see you then!
