A Mid-Century Makeover

I don’t usually like to talk about my personal life in this blog, but I have to share that my husband and I just purchased a fabulous Mid-Century home in the hills above the Pasadena Rose Bowl. It needs some design help, of course, but the one thing it boasts is an absolutely killer view! The original pool and landscaping needs some serious re-tooling, which has me daydreaming about Mid-Century pools, landscaping, and outdoor furnishings.

What better inspiration for our blog than to showcase some of On Madison’s Mid-Century outdoor fantasies? Ah, I can taste that martini already…

Fur Fetish

Ever since Diana Vreeland wrapped 60’s supermodel Verushka in fur and photographed her against the red rocks of the Arizona desert I have adored fur. And when Elizabeth Taylor, wearing nothing but Blackgama mink, asked us “What becomes a legend most”, we knew fur was synonymous with swank.

This season, fur is all over the runways and features prominently in home decor. Whether it’s real, faux, or fantasy fur, we’re fanatical for it! I know fur is a tad bit controversial, but for sheer glamour and luxe, fur is a design element that can take your room from blah to bombshell.

The latest fur trend includes all things animal: rich leathers (especially in glitzy metallics) and exotic skins (python or ostrich) that add panache and texture to a room. Use fur or skins in unexpected places like a hallway, breakfast room or bath, and try unexpected colors for a bold twist.

On Madison has put together some of our favorite looks with fur and leather, ranging from classic to bold, and glamorous to kitschy. We can hardly wait for winter.

Smoke & Mirrors

Mirrored furniture is just plain glamorous. Silvery and sultry, mirrored pieces add that touch of Old Hollywood sparkle to just about any space. We especially love using mirrored pieces in powder rooms, bedrooms, dressing rooms and even dining rooms. To keep mirrored pieces from feeling too feminine, pair them with more tailored accessories, furnishings, or lighting. A bit of mirrored furniture definitely goes a long way.

On Madison has put together some of our favorite mirrored pieces along with photos of a few pretty darn fabulous rooms in which mirrored pieces are definitely the “stars.”Mirrored Furniture1/ The London home of Caroline Sarkozy 2/ Jean de Merry “Diana at the Hunt” 3/ John Himmel mirrored console table 4/ Mirrored console entryway by Molly Luetkemeyer 5/ Vintage Deco style mirrored console 7/ On Madison Pasadena bathroom vanity 8/ Jean De Merry Capri dining table 9/ Herve Van der Straeten Console Cristalloide 10/ Paris apartment mirrored table 11/ Galerie Van der Straten console
