Mixology: Combining The Old With The New

Like last year the 2021 San Francisco Fall Show will take place virtually due to the challenges faced during the pandemic. From October 15-24, 2021, we have the opportunity to shop dealers worldwide, offering an extraordinary range of fine and decorative arts from antiquity to the present day. Ann Lowengart Interiors often mixes antique and vintage pieces with modern to give homes a fresh and current look. For the den of this Ross home, Annie outfitted it so the husband could work from home. To conceal paperwork and office supplies, the design team sourced a Louis XVI-style secretary from 1st Dibs. The restrained elegance of the brass trim and fluted legs contrasts with the robust playfulness of the Christopher Farr Carnival wallpaper.

In the entry of this neo-colonial style house in pastoral Los Altos, Ann Lowengart Interiors flanked the doorway to the library with a George III-style Pembroke table on one side and a companion pair of English wooden stools from the mid-19th century on the other. Galbraith & Paul's tone on tone wallcovering Fern provides the backdrop for a bold abstract painting. Although the home is traditional, the clients love color and pattern. The entry, library, and children's playroom form an enfilade showing Annie's mix of antique, vintage, and modern furnishings.

Ann Lowengart Interiors installed a vintage Anglo-Indian teak bench at the end of a Perriand Natural Rush Bed in the second-story master bedroom of the Los Altos home. Annie built the room around one of her favorite patterns, draperies made from Christopher Farr's Carnival fabric in Pale Blue. Benjamin Moore's Picnic Basket creates a tranquil ambiance to the room, and a nuanced blue and green Mongolian wool rug finishes the space.
