Artist Sam Gilliam at Home
Renowned artist Sam Gilliam’s home that he shares with gallery owner Annie Gawlak was recently featured in Home and Design Magazine.
I enjoy the mix of eclectic furnishings, a mix of upholstery, African accents, antiques and modernist pieces juxtaposed against the art-filled home.
Designed by Interior Designer Mary Douglas Drysdale, she made point to celebrate the home’s architecture by revealing the joists, but softened them from their raw form with a coat of white paint. To warm up the space color is infused throughout with furniture and art. The end result: the home as an art gallery. However it isn’t sterile or cold; it manages to celebrate art and still be inviting.
But what do you think? Is it too much like living in an art gallery? Would you want to see more or less color in this home?
