    Miller Me!

    I almost gasped out loud when I saw this giveaway. Love it! I would either go for the classic lounger (my husband reeeeeally wants one) or the shell chair rocker that I’ve been eyeing for a few years.

    Miller Me! Love Andy Warhol and Piet Mondrian. Something about colorblocking just gets me. Especially since its so on trend in the fashion world lately!

    MILLER ME! There are so many classic designers that I love, but my current obsession is with Eero Saarinen – both his Tulip Table and Womb Chair!

    I heart Monet. I always love looking at the water lilies artwork for their beauty and the fact that it looks totally different from up close and far away.

    Miller me! I would LOVE to be able to surprise my boyfriend with an Eames chair. He wants one SO bad! He is a photographer, & he needs a new chair for his work desk. He sure would look good editing pictures in one of these chairs! :)

    I don’t have a favorite name to throw out, but my absolute favorite furniture style is mid century modern. I have a lovely dresser I got for a STEAL but I can’t find matching nightstands even close to my budget… I guess the people with the stands know the worth.. drat!

    I love an eclectic look, and an Eames chair is so modern, classic and practical it fits that vibe perfectly for me.

    I would love to have an original Andy Warhol piece in my home. I drool over them everytime I head to the museum in Pittsburgh!

    ooo, ah, gasp, MILLER ME! You can’t get much more iconic than the Eames team, especially since their work encompassed all aspects and scales of design from art to architecture. Love! I am also inspired by more recent architects: Tadao Ando (Church of Light), Peter Zumthor (check out his St. Benedict’s Chapel and Therme Vals), and for anyone who likes FLW look at E. Fay Jone’s Thorncrown Chapel, not so much houses, but so amazing!

    MILLER ME! I have always loved Magritte for his surrealist paintings (like the man in the bowler hat with the apple covering his face). As an artist myself, they spoke to me in a way that said art can be playful and meaningful… not just beautiful.

    MILLER TIME!
    I LOVE Christo and Jeanne-Claude who are the artists that wrap entire buildings in fabric. It is beauty on an immense scale.

    Miller Me! Who wouldn’t do anything for an Eames lounge chair or a Noguchi table! But my favorite furniture designer of all time is Marcel Breuer, who designed the Wassily chair. Seriously–I have loooved this chair since I was in my teens, and always dreamed I would make a place for it in my future home. I since have had other Breuer chairs–bentwood ones, and wicker and steel ones–but never the Wassily. Still love it, and thinking it might be time to spring for one–or two. The Wassily is sleek shiny metal and warm, rich leather. Its angles and airiness are eye candy. The Wassily is sculpture that invites you to interact with it. So here I am, 30-ish years later after I first laid eyes on the Wassily, and it is still something that I love. Talk about timeless design!

    I’ve always loved Steven Gambrel’s use of blues and greens. Most of his stuff is about a million dollars outside my price range but I still love drooling over photos of his impeccably styled spaces :)
