it’s not often you discover a retro-looking turquoise fridge tucked into 16th century gold-gilded crown moldings, but in this case, it works and is probably very much inspired by the charles eames quote painted like a fresco on this palazzo’s walls: “take your pleasure seriously”. okay, we will! inside the well-worn walls of this ornate home in siciliy’s palermo, are modern furnishings paired with reclaimed vintage pieces, like patio chairs with chipping paint — another thing not of the norm, but it’s definitely playful and yet, decidedly european.
Very interesting the way they left it undone. Our renovation is in this state now, but I think we’re going to go all the way and paint, though I think it looks great rough, like here.
This is a playground for the imagination! A grown-up’s wonderland.
What a cool way to display that fridge!
