THE SPRING AWAKENING OF THE NEW BOHEMIAN VISUALS OF THE CREATIVELY RICH
The use of the word bohemian first appeared in the English language in the 19th century to describe the non-traditional lifestyles of marginalized and financially impoverished, but creatively rich people. It was “anti-establishment” long before that became the new political and cultural buzzword. Bohemian colonies have sprung up periodically throughout the years — from San Francisco to Provincetown — but the new Bohemia is a virtual place: social media platforms on which we can express our opinions, desires, and aesthetics — and find others who are just like us.

OLD MEETS NEWThe wallpaper inspired the makeover of this mere 12-by-13-foot room. The rich colors and large-scale pattern actually make the room feel more expansive, while remaining intimate. The floor was painted, and even more pattern was brought into the room in the hooked rug and striped silk curtains. Footstools were reupholstered in pink so they blend with the rest of the décor. Excerpt from Style: The Attraction of Opposites.
FREE SPIRITSet the table with abandon. Informal and unconventional branches, bouquets strewn about, and layers and layers of texture — it’s the way that non-conformists dine.
