I love it! Does anyone know, is that an actual fireplace in the first shot, or faux? And if faux, how it was done? I’d love to do something similar at my house…

Wow, this aesthetic is stunning. I love the cobalt accents.

Wow – I love the mix of vintage and mondern, clean lines. It really makes these shots “pop”. Great map!!

Yes I’m also dying to know who is the artist of those portaits! Stunning work; I wonder whose home it is or if it was a studio set up… I love it.
(also the photographer’s name is spelled James Merrell)
lots of more great photographs on his website: http://www.jamesmerrell.co.uk/

I love how some of these images fade in and out of the intertube but never really die, like that first image that I have been admiring for months now. LOVE IT!

The artist is Tretchikoff sometimes referred to as Tretchiko.

The first picture is on the cover of Living etc magz a couple of months back and I am so glad I bought it!

thanks mystery guest.

Je possède un cadre d’environ 19par 26″, identifié TRETCHIKO
//1949-1951 et montrant une femme en forme de Cygne.
