Home interiors in the 1980s-1990s ‘Contempo-Eclectic’ style, designed by Carrie Brockman. This style mixes up popular then-contemporary trends like Deco-revival, 1980s ‘all-white’ interior minimalism, high-tech, free-form playful abstract shapes. It sometimes functioned as an art gallery for the new American folk furniture, art, and sculpture movement of the 1980s. Folk art may not be the right word for this style, I’ve just noticed that this time period produced a huge amount of regional designers, and these houses were filled with their relatively unique pieces; in comparison to our more mass-produced, homogeneous Amazon/Ikea era.

The garden is an enduring theme of country china. Pieces from antique shops and markets are mixed and matched to great effect. The tableware on the lower shelves of the dresser was popular in the 1930s and 1940s.
