ROOM WITH A VIEW
“The large window looking onto the garden invited an indoor/outdoor moment. I chose a metal console by McKinnon and Harris that was crisp and bright to balance the browns and patina of the antiques.”
DESIGN INSPIRATION
“My absolute favorite fabric, ‘Tree of Life’ by Lee Jofa, is now a wallpaper as well. Name a color, and it’s in there. You can start pulling them out and be off to the races.”[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”264506″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1708455430818{margin-top: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”]
CHINA SYNDROME
James set the table with Spode’s “Indian Tree” from Replacements, Ltd., and accessorized with platters on the walls. “I love how the coral and umber tones pop against the Prussian blue of the antique china cabinet.”[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”264507″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1708456886528{margin-top: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”]
BOW BEAUTIFUL
The art bows are a tribute to one of James’s decorating icons, Mario Buatta. “Creating that detail was like sprinkling salt on a chocolate chip cookie.”[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”264521″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image” css=”.vc_custom_1708457008749{padding-bottom: 50px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1708455269966{margin-top: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”]
A Visual Feast
“My grandmother always said we eat with our eyes first, and before the first bite, there should be a visual feast.”[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”264508″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]
HAVE A SEAT
James incorporated old-school details such as buttons, reverse pleats, and piping on the dining room chairs. “They have a slipcovered look, yet they’re tailored and buttoned up.”[/vc_column_text][gem_button text=”More about James Farmer” position=”center” style=”outline” corner=”3″ size=”medium” border=”1″ separator=”single” icon_pack=”elegant” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fflowermag.com%2Fjames-farmer-baton-rouge-showhouse-preview%2F|title:James%20Farmer|target:_blank” text_color=”#000000″ hover_text_color=”#000000″ hover_background_color=”#ffffff” separator_weight=”1″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1709581181723{margin-top: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}”]
FLORAL SPOTLIGHT
Stephen Sonnier of Dunn and Sonnier: Antiques, Florals, and Gifts orchestrated a symphony of peach roses, coral tulips, amber pon pon ranunculus, snowball hydrangeas, lilacs, sea holly, and echinacea cone flowers. The mix of blues, reds, and yellows mirror the floral wallpaper, and the abundance of flowers matches the maximalist design of the dining room.
