Museum Tower Model Homes: Ann Schooler Schools Us In Tradition

Share News:

You simply must see the colors in this model if you, like me, are a fan of soft, subtle interiors — apricot, French blues (my heart is beating), gary-green and aquas. Ann Schooler of Schooler, Kellogg & Company says she chose these tones to help blend the traditional aesthetic to the contemporary common areas in the building. Faux-finishing most of the unit’s walls with Barry Martin’s faux finishes and laquer, silver tea paper and other applications completely changed the genre. Is that a traditional wood dining room table that you might see in a well-bred Highland Park home? You bet it is!

    i get that it's cool and counter-intuitive to have something this traditional in such a modern/minimalist setting, and i know there's plenty of people who like this aesthetic. it just so happens that i'm not one of them. yuck. haha. still, no question that it's fun to see

    I like this one personally, but admittedly agree this doesn't fit with the building. I can see this being more at home in one of the Ritz towers.
