Having trouble making up your mind? You're in good company. If there's anything that describes us - and our nests - today, it may be a cultivated schizophrenia. Maybe that's a symptom of wanting it all. |

Back to the Future: A Return to the (Updated) Classic
Now, more than ever, people want great pieces in their homes. This represents a re-dedication to good value and high quality, and a wish to own objects and furnishings that might even last long enough to be passed down to children. That said, it seems safe to fall back on the tried-and-true. But we also want to remain of-our-time, contemporary. To meet this wish, interior stylists are providing their clients with striking updates to the classic pieces. The new furnishings are influenced by much older objects, but without becoming kitschy, nostalgic or jarring. In this sense, history becomes the designer's primary material. This trend is exemplified by recent pieces like Christopher Specce's modernized Windsor chair and Lindsey Adelman's brass chandeliers. Paul Loebach's Great Camp series is based on the rustic 19th century Adirondack vacation culture of upstate New York.
