One of the reasons Ben&#39;s design is so enchanting (as you noted…) is that many of his ideas are very &#39;do-able&#39;…such as the been tufted bench in front of the fireplace, of the old gold mirrors, or the wild-mild toile pattern of the green wallpaper. Note that he repeats some themes--gilding, railheads, natural fabrics, neutral tones with strong accents, and mixes of chairs. Any one of his ideas can me extrapolated…and used in any room, anywhere. I love his comment and idea of &#39;use all corners of a room&#39;…which he does with a corner banquette, for example.<br />The decor is endlessly interesting and full of detail.<br />Ben is also a fantastic stylist--and some of his styling ideas (small brass objects, great lamps, white plaster, interesting pillows) can also be picked up and used for inspiration.<br />Terri--as always a delight to hear from you. I&#39;m so happy this gave you such delight. I&#39;ll tell Ben…he will be thrilled.<br /><br />my best DIANEDiane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-26137260956113944772014-12-08T19:55:05.342-08:002014-12-08T19:55:05.342-08:00STEFAN-<br /><br />I totally agree. It&#39;s so rich with detail…and you are right that Ben has a great sense of humor and wit in design.<br /><br />Lovely to hear from you--DIANEDiane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-91902839167169325502014-12-08T19:34:08.660-08:002014-12-08T19:34:08.660-08:00Wow Diane, what a stunning home. I am a major fan of Benjamin Dhong but this house knocks it out of the park. I think I understand what works in interiors, but then I see masterful spaces like this, so beautifully composed from disparate elements, and I am so deeply humbled and inspired! I have always loved fine, elegant spaces but Benjamin brings this organic warmth and yet crispness to them. I honestly don&#39;t know how he puts it all together. It&#39;s like a finely composed delicate masterpiece!<br />Lovely post. I&#39;ve pinned all the images for future study! Perfection.<br /><br />Hope you are well Diane.
