A modern secretary in brightly enameled steel that my clients fondly refer to as the “yellow fellow” defines this first space. I love how this piece has a place for everything: It’s both display space to incorporate personal mementos in an organized and cultivated way while, at the same time, it cleverly conceals the mundane necessities of running a household. It provides a great workspace for two people but it’s not utilitarian; it’s imaginative and not yet another built-in. The dose of color is so happy: nothing is better than pairing utilitarian tasks such as paying the bills with an uplifting space. The horizontal piece of art above the desk is terrific; it’s unique and the perfect final touch for my art-loving clients.
