White and Blue

Here is a space from Max and Co. in Atlanta, GA. The two main colors are blue and white, a classic southern combo. One that J's Nana loves to over do. The up dated twist in this room is that lacquered navy wall color. (Lacquer is the new high gloss!) The art work is also modern with a quirky octopus made from cut drift wood and the cubist oil painting above the bed. The traditional furniture aka the rolled-arm sofa, the antique three drawer dresser and the mahogany leather club chairs keeps that southern charm. Also, the wainscoting and crisp white duvet cover softens the deep saturation of masculine colors in the room. Do you see the infusion on the sofa? There are bold explosions of traditional prints on square throw pillows. The paisley and the greek key (a print often used by Jonathan Adler) are both modern and classic. Over all this is a handsome room for any southern gentleman or belle in the 21st century.
