American Street Showroom...

Inspiring, lyrical -- these are just two adjectives one could use to describe the romantic, yet industrial wares displayed at American Street Showroom in Philadelphia.

Thea Beasley...

Painter and stylist Thea Beasley spent two decades creating her most personal masterpiece -- a 3,500 square foot loft space in Marietta, Georgia.  Uncovering warm, sand-coloured plaster beneath the peeling paint created the frescoed walls.  Other genius touches include a chair upholstered in a leopard-print coat, milky painted floors, an African feathered headdress, and camouflage of linen and architectural salvage.  Beasley's artistic stamp is obvious throughout the space.
