Design Lines – Buying Art By Pamela Hughes The phrase, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” is never as true as it is with art. Even educated and totally knowledgeable art critics can have different views on a particular piece of art. Sometimes art is selected because the viewer sees it as pleasant, calming, beautiful, technically well-produced, shocking, avant-garde, valuable, or as a good investment for resale. All of this art can be “good”, if it is simply selected due to personal preference or intent.

Design Lines – Indoor / Outdoor By Pamela Hughes Sarasota! What better place to let the outdoors in and live in the outdoors! So much of our year has balmy breezes and minimal bug-life that you can spend a great deal of time either in the sun or under cover. Either way there are many ways to enjoy comfort and luxury while enjoying nature’s gifts. One of the ways we like to use the outdoors is an architectural feature often called a “loggia”. This is often a terrace with a roof, sometimes part of the structure of a house, sometimes […]
Design Lines The Sarasota School Of Architecture By Pamela Hughes In our last column, I wrote about Modern Design, so I thought it might be interesting to further the discussion and specifically focus on Sarasota itself and “The Sarasota School”. It is interesting to recall that this “modernism” is now more than 50 years old! While that is certainly true, it is also true that as one drives around Sarasota and occasionally sees these houses and buildings from that time, they retain a freshness and originality that is still stunning and inspiring. In an earlier time, Sarasota was a beautiful, […]
Design Lines – Modern Design By Pamela Hughes There is lots of talk and awareness of “Modern Design” today, so for this month’s column I thought it might be interesting to explore the history of how this design style evolved. Sarasota is a place known for its Modern Design heritage, and in fact, has numerous wonderful examples of this design dialect, which we will delve into in a future column. So, let’s look at a bit of history first. Design is all around us, whether we are aware of it or not. Any time a human being has applied paint […]
Design Lines – Buying Art By Pamela Hughes In a column a few months ago, I wrote about the art of framing. Now, after spending a few weeks searching the art markets for clients, it seems appropriate to write about the selection and purchasing of art. The phrase, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” is never as true as it is with art. Even educated and totally knowledgeable art critics can have different views on a particular piece of art. Sometimes art is selected because the viewer sees it as pleasant, calming, beautiful, technically well-produced, shocking, avant-garde, valuable, […]
Design Lines – Embellished Surfaces By Pamela Hughes It is amazing how intertwined art is with design. The two words are almost synonymous. In previous columns, I’ve written about buying art and how to frame it, and we have had numerous columns about various facets of design. In this column, I’d like to write about having art actually created on the surface of our interiors: truly blending art with design. We have long been an admirer and proponent of painted surfaces and have often used artists and craftsmen to embellish limited surfaces of a home. Like most things, if overdone, […]
Design Lines: Houses with Boats By Pamela Hughes What could be more fun than having a house on one of our many beautiful Sarasota waterways and having a boat with the house as well? Well, not much, as long as the house is in Sarasota or some other gorgeous locale. For this month’s column, I thought it would be entertaining to write about a project we are completing in the British West Indies. The project is 19 Deckhouses at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman. These are individual luxury homes with all the services of the nearby Ritz-Carlton. Each home includes an […]
Design Lines – Let’s Frame It! By Pamela Hughes In past columns, I’ve written about lighting, color, furniture placement and other elements of successful interior design. In this column, I’d like to write about the how’s and why’s of framing artwork. But first, let me share with you an adventure which brought me to this column’s topic. It was difficult to leave Sarasota and fly to DC rather than spend some well-deserved time at the beach. But I did, and it was for a good cause. I had been asked to assist The Prince of Wales Foundation in their endeavor […]
Design Lines – TV, Or Not TV…. By Pamela Hughes Whether we like it or not, televisions are here to stay. They are in our lives, for some of us, from the moment we wake up to the last thing we hear or see at night. And all through the day, it seems there is hardly a place where there isn’t a screen flickering with some urgent image. Whether it’s your lifeline to the world and staying in touch, or following your favorite program, they are everywhere. We, of course, as designers try to find ways to make televisions accessible, […]
Design Lines – Lightening The Look By Pamela Hughes One of the pleasures of life is simplification. As the world itself seems to be moving faster and becoming more complicated, the sanctuary of our homes is our place to restore peace, quiet and balance. Paired with making more time for ourselves is the possibility of making our homes more serene and welcoming. And that is what we will be focusing on this month. Particularly, as one retires or is just coming to a second or part-time home, the ease of one’s life there, with minimal upkeep or effort, is important. […]
