Article link: Shopping to Set a Party Table With David SerranoThis article is about an interior designer named David Serrano who specializes in decorating parties. To quote the article:
Mr. Serrano loves such ornamentation, but he avoids things that can be distracting, like overly large, smelly floral arrangements or fragrant candles: “Candles in great candleholders are nice, but definitely hold the scent.” He also likes color and a mix of styles and eras, a philosophy that he feels can be applied to other celebrations as well: “I like new things mixed with old things, cheap things from Pier 1 mixed with fancy things from Hermès.” And he likes to serve family style, so he always has an interesting array of plates, platters, utensils and salt-and-pepper shakers: “Nothing has to match; there just has to be enough of everything. No one wants to use their salad fork for their dessert.”
According to the article, Serrano used to be a surrealist painter, and I think that shows in how he decorates. I personally love that interesting looking chandelier-looking object above him.
