I love his work, and when I heard Timothy Whealon's first New York apartment used to be home to MTV's Downtown Julie Brown, I thought perhaps this designer could not be any cooler.
I was wrong.
Because Whealon also says his goal in creating classic design
is to achieve the openness of an Agnes Martin painting--
whooaaa Nelly, I'm nutty for the genius of Agnes!
"As a kid, I spent every cent I earned from my paper route at auction houses. The first thing I ever bought was a George II mahogany chair with a needlepoint seat--I was twelve."
~ Timothy Whealon
Timothy Whealon's work shines in the glorious
(Rizzoli, 2015).
I am smitten with his pursuit and have much
to learn from his thoughtful approach to creating
unforgettable design as I devour every word and
image on the pages of this blissful journey.
Plus.
He shares:
and no color has the capacity to do that
quite like complex whites."
~Timothy Whealon
A dapper ambassador for the rainbow of whites?
Now that's a lovely friend of mine!
In Pursuit of Beauty...
a perfectly fitting title since
every lovely project featured within
reflects both the passion and calling
of this exceptional designer.
Peace to you right where you are.

Oh yes! yes Michele, I to am a fan of his designs. You look at that bathroom, nothing pretentious but every bit the classic design of a classic feel to it clean simple space. What about the Windows, I love all the lighted panes on the black metal tracking.
ReplyDeleteThe grey sofa plenty of seating for a great gathering. Could you imagine living here, I know I sure could.
As for your paper route, my brother and I had one we shared and we were about your same age, I spent my money decorating my room :) when I got my first real, job at 15 passing for 16, they just did not seam to check that closely, on my break in the local mall I would put antiques on layaway and pay for them with my checks every two weeks, what these deals must have thought of me? My mother always knew I would become a designer, or artist, something to do with creating beauty in a home. My bedroom was over flowing with great pieces, and when I moved out at 18 I felt so mature with my mature antiques.
Keep me post on when you come to Ca. Laguna beach... Will be fun to meet up and take a bit of time to enjoy the beauty and a great conversation of what inspires us.
Email me so I can get my contact numbers to you.
Talk soon.
Stay beautiful and oh so interesting :)

unfortunately, that tidbit about buying the needlepoint chair at auction was a quote from timothy whealon, not moi! i could never have managed a newspaper route since it requires a good throwing arm and above average physical coordination. at 12, i swept poop from the docks and raked the sand for the lifeguards! i'll keep you posted on cali, dore!
