Interiors: The Art of the Unexpected

Connecticut home by Joe Nahem #interiors

You can't judge a book by its cover, and, naturally, that includes interiors, too. Not that I’m judging this Greenwich, Connecticut home in any way. The exterior is perfectly lovely, neocolonial with columns, clapboard, and pristine landscaping. But what lies beyond the picturesque façade is far from expected. Here are a few pics of the home’s surprisingly edgy and artsy interiors. Traditional, meet contemporary!

"While the house was beautiful, it was too traditional for the art to shine." - Allison Kanders on her home's recent reno

Desiré is a designer, blogger, and lover of all things glamorous. Though primarily a self-taught decorator, Desiré studied at The Art Institute, where she honed a distinct aesthetic largely influenced by the Modern Glamour movement, the theme of her popular design blog, Sukio. Not only is she considered a "closet fashionista," discreetly stashing handbags and shoes whenever possible, but, as an MIT graduate, she’s also an undercover nerd. Fashion, nerdom, and several years as a Washingtonian have combined to shape her unique perspective on interior design.
