    I love Alexander Calder–It would be so awesome to have a space big enough to hang one of his mobiles as a centerpiece (and have the $$ to buy the space and the art!)

    I have always been in love with Monet. Cliche, yes, but his paintings make me feel so serene and relaxed.

    Yes, a total sucker for anything Frank Lloyd Wright. How cool is this place? http://www.windermere.com/listing?legacyid=131173016

    The thought of an Eames chair between the two windows in our bedroom makes me week in the knees. I’ve been looking for something perfect to put there for weeks. But the budget! So limiting is the budget!

    My grandfather spent 30 years working as an architect and the Chief of Design and Construction for the General Services Administration. In 1976, he designed the first sustainable federal building in East Lansing, Michigan, which was basically a zero consumption building. He is my hero!

    My grandmother had an Eames chair with matching ottoman from the ’60s, that she gave to my older brother when she moved into a smaller place about 10 years ago.

    A few years later when my brother moved cross-country he (unbeknownst to me) gave it away, not knowing what it was!

    I’ve been searching for a semi-affordable one since then, with of course no luck!

    MILLER ME!! (please!) I heart IM Pei. No clue why, just always liked the transamerica tower in SF and i’m pretty sure he did the pyramid entrance at the Luvre in Paris.

    The best furniture designer of the century is Howard Meister.
    Modern, thought provoking and unique…

    MILLER ME! (please). I admire Carlo Bugatti’s furniture, because that Art Nouveau style has remained so timeless and so lovely.

    My favorite would actually be Eames! I have some knock-off pieces, but would love an original if they weren’t so expensive! :)

    I have always admired the work of Mies Van Der Rohe, both his architecture and his product design.

    MILLER ME! I’m actually a sucker for Eames’ designs and anything mid-century modern, such as Helge Sibast.

    MILLER ME. Oh oh my. One designer? Well I get super excited whenever I get the chance to see Tadao Ando’s work. Several years ago I got to see a special exhibit at an Art Museum and it was so hard to control myself, I wanted to squee and jump up and down like a 5 year old I was so excited yet everyone there was all “serious art exhibit” in tone.

    MILLER ME, please! It even happens to be my married name, haha.

    I’m a huge fan of Audrey Hepburn: kind, classic, and beautiful.

    If I won an Eames chair, would that mean that I’d have to purge my house of my Ikea-ware? Say it ain’t so!
