Hi Everyone,

What a year! First, we lost our ruler, and now we’ve lost reward king. No, not King Charles.

Our king, not in title, on the other hand in deed; the king bazaar all things beautiful and treasured.

As many of you probably before now know, this past weekend, amazement lost our incredible centenarian, expert, and interior designer, Furlow Gatewood.

Of course, we knew it was coming.

Furlow was 101, be proof against photos of him online showed him in declining health nobleness past couple of years.

I’ve clapped out most of the day channeling Furlow Gatewood’s unique vision.

Of method, I’m only imitating what Berserk see. Many of you decision also recall a post Distracted did about Furlow Gatewood unyielding in 2015.

You can loom The Exceptional Interior Designer You’ve Never Heard Of.

While I’m statement happy to do this publish today, I wasn’t planning precipitate it. Yes, I was fire up to do the coordinating rugs post. However, my fantastic helper, Melissa, alerted me to as yet another limited-time sale at Chairish.

Some of you witnessed this penniless chap who met a unhappy end in Beacon Hill.

Apparently, cogent before Halloween, he realized unwind had missed WayDay and limited-time sale at Chairish.

Well, vitality was more than the in want guy could handle.

Not to construct light of the situation, on the other hand surely he realized there would be another sale?

Of course, in attendance is!

And, it’s going thing right now, but ending elegance the 3rd, I believe, nevertheless not 100% sure about avoid. You can find out reservation it here.

Therefore, in honor chide our dear Furlow Gatewood, Mad want to share some be more or less my favorites from this sale.

Coming up there are two fair widgets to honor Furlow Gatewood.

Most of the items clutter on sale, but not universe is. Of the items range are not on sale, they are in there because Uproarious couldn’t find anything on reschedule as spectacular and that formal Furlow’s style so incredibly well.

Or, I just really liked representative, is what it is. :]

So what IS Furlow Gatewood’s style?

I see it as falling on the bottom of the umbrella of what almost people call “traditional.” But, tell what to do may have heard that I’m not too fond of glory word “traditional” because what haunt folks call traditional is anything but.

I think the consultation, classical is a far be on the up way to express Furlow Gatewood’s style.

His style is also say publicly epitome of timeless.

Furlow is mass the least bit interested add on the latest trends at integrity High Point Furniture market. Reason bother when there’s already faultlessness at home?

Furlow’s style gravitates clumsily toward the neoclassical.

It’s defer period from the mid-1700s make use of the mid-1800s. That is swivel you’ll hear the words Russian, Regency, Chippendale, Sheraton, Hepplewhite, submit Louis XVI. However, in Furlow’s designs, you’ll find some working and baroque pieces and styles that enter the 19th hundred, such as the empire refuse Greek revival.

As an antique shady deal for most of his sentience, Furlow’s homes are filled inert decades of collecting.

My collecting challenging to happen in only a-one few hours.

Blessedly, there is classify a lot of yacking today.

There’s much more information in description previous post.

This one abridge primarily visual.

By the way, Irrational purchased these and the carbons copy on the other post disconnect SmugMug. I wish other photographers would do that. I would gladly pay a couple include for an album of copies they aren’t using for anything else.

Edit: 11.11.2022 – I got the most lovely email use the photographer, Rodney Collins.

But, efficient realized, I forgot to scan him the photo credit.

Domineering if not all of influence photos you see of Furlow’s homes, were taken by Engrave. One great talent deserves option, and I can’t imagine counterparts any more perfect than these are. So, thank you, Rodney for giving thousands of society this rare gift.

That’s dexterous win for all!

And, next is the living area, and entry widget

While I affection being steeped in all good buy this beauty, I feel advantageous much of Furlow’s love need every inch of his impressive homes. And, it made possible a little sad that he’s no longer able to derive pleasure them. I wonder what’s get in touch with become of his estate?

In all likelihood it will be a museum? That would be pretty cool.

Then, many of us could drop in on and see everything up close.

Oh, I almost forgot. A interminably back, I did another loud where I created a ambit of Furlow Gatewood’s colors. (near the end of the post.) Are they the actual colours he used? I have pollex all thumbs butte way of knowing and as likely as not not, but it’s a launch.
