David Cafiero.

David Cafiero has been a big inspiration to me for quite some time now. So often design becomes very stale and without charm, history and time. No project i have ever worked on has turned out exactly the way it was intended, no project has been born overnight. In a time when it seems so easy to just go to one of these all inclusive design stores and buy the room as is... i must insist that people begin to strike out, take there time, find out what really makes them comfortable, just because its new, doesnt mean its good and the same goes for the latter. These images are of what i believe is a house Cafiero owns. The images are so beautiful... i can feel myself just stumbling upon a house like this and going inside and finding all of these rooms... peeling paint, dust everywhere, signs of the times... etc. i would want to spend the night, take it all in. There is no chintz covering the spencer sofa in the living room, there is no dupioni draperies in the salon...it just is... and i couldnt be more inspired
