A Retro-Eclectic Kitchen

The image shows the range wall of a small kitchen I designed and built recently--putting together a restored 1953 Wedgewood range, rather simple white cabinets by Plain and Fancy with a couple of vaguely Victorian brackets (and other like details), white marble countertops, and 3x6 checkerboard subway tiles on the walls. I think the look works. I have to credit my client with the inspiration for the design, and some details as well. My work on this one was mostly harmonizing things, laying things out, and putting it all together.

Art Table

In the category of "small architecture," or certainly in the category of "home design" very broadly understood . . . .

Here is a piece of "art furniture" I have made, a table I call it "The Archetypes."

A parlor game: What does each leg seem to represent?

A deep question: Is it possible to make truly "fine" art in the forms of the "useful" or "decorative" arts?
