One of my favorite designers to date is S. R. Gambrel, if you haven't heard of him yet its ok, he's relatively under-appreciated considering he hasn't done the ubiquitous designer-turned shiny faced-continually-grinning host of his own HGTV show. Based mainly in New York city, this talented designer deftly mixes vintage influences and that slightly off brand sense of intense colour and pattern thats hot-on-the-heels of the well-heeled Kelly Wearstler, though with a much more masculine and ...shall we say... subdued / livable vibe.
...every west village walk-up needs its own vestibule...
...I'm a sucker for good hardwood herringbone floors...
...office space...
...which has its own seating / reading nooks...
...and notice the high-gloss black lacquered doors...
...the master bedroom space...I think the client liked blue / turquoise...
...you know its good design when theres a klismos chair involved...
...the guest bedroom...a bit more subdued don't you think...
...every child needs an Ikat patterned bedroom...
...Kudos for not going ALL WHITE SUBWAY TILE in the bathroom...
...the closet space, just enough space for function and display...
...oh to have such a luxury of space for all your shoes...
...Master bathroom...
...looking into the Reception room...
...there's a strong 1940's eclectic theme going on in this room...
...sort of a mixture of neo-traditional in updated fabrics and finishes...
...very West Village bohemian...without the oil-paint stained floors...
...the Formal Dining room had me with the Lacquered walls...
...The basement kitchen is wonderful in that it retains character...
...utilitarian...unapologetically sparse in the most refined manner...
...and oh to have such a space in the city...
Check out his Portfolio, its full of some pretty serious high-gloss trendy-traditional interiors.
