Finding Faulkner

I've seen photos of Hudson, New York based artist and designer Frank Faulkner's home before but I never looked at them all together until yesterday.  These actually might encompass more than one home but they give you a sense of his great style and ability to mix flea market finds with aplomb. The living room below reminds me a little of my favorite interior designed for Robert Burke by Todd Romano you can see here. I find masculine spaces more soothing than overly feminine spaces which makes Frank Faulkner one of my new favorite designers.

Masculine Chic

Since I've been posting a lot of feminine fashion recently, I thought I should take a little time out for the boys. As a follow up to my post about the fall 2013 J.Crew fashion presentation, I thought it might be interesting to look at how the menswear director for J.Crew, Frank Muytjens lives at home.  Lonny magazine featured his Brooklyn apartment and Elle Decor took a look at his upstate New York weekend home.  Both are filled with various vintage finds and inspiration that often makes it way into the men's collection. Both spaces also remind me of his office which I included in my book Creativity at Work.  Maybe I'll post a few of those pics next.  To read the whole Lonny story, click here and for Elle Decor, click here.
