The Editor at Large
Are you going? Will Filbert & Fig see you there? Starts Saturday until May 15.

The 47th Pasadena Showcase House of Design show house is an English Country Manor in 1927 designed by architect Paul Revere Williams. He borrowed ideas from the past without using excessive ornamentation and, according to one critic; he was "the last word in elegant traditionalism." This revered residence remains a celebrated illustration of English Period Revival at its best.

The Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts has contributed over $17 million to musical arts organizations throughout Southern California, as well as three annual music programs. Tickets for the Pasadena Showcase House of Design are available for $35-40 in advance and $30-$35 at the door. For more information, visit www.pasadenashowcase.org.

DESIGN NOTES: connect to Lorts' blog & Facebook

2010-09-28T13:57:00.000-07:00

“Gray. Whether it’s a calming dove gray or a much more dramatic charcoal, Lorts can’t get enough of this go-to color. Neither can interior designer Mary Nolte of Mary Nolte Designs. Nolte has tracked the emergence of gray & brings it into many of her clients’ homes. “I absolutely love the way gray looks. It is part of my favorite color combination - black, white, red & gray,” says Nolte. “Gray, like beige, can go in so many directions. Plus it combines well with numerous colors, like blue, green, even yellow, making it a perfect neutral.”

CONTEMPORARY: Settees from Vanguard Furniture

2010-09-21T14:32:00.000-07:00

Traditional meaning of "couch" closely resembles daybed, chaise lounge or bed. In UK, the term is "sofa" or "settee" while "couch" means, for example - in a therapeutic setting - psychiatrist's couch. A couch is used while lying down, but sofa or settee is for sitting upright. "Couch" derives from Old French couche "bed" & coucher "put to bed, lay down."

TRADITIONAL: Home Office by Sligh
