What could be more optimistic than that?<a href="http://www.pantone.com/pages/pantone/pantone.aspx?pg=20634&ca=10" target="_blank">Pantone</a>, the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industry has selected 'Mimosa', a warm, engaging yellow, as the Color of the Year for 2009. It was selected for the view that the world is in a time of economic and political change and for the fact that yellow more than any other color represents optimism, hope and reassurance. "The color yellow exemplifies the warmth and nurturing quality of the sun, properties we as humans are naturally drawn to for reassurance," explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. "Mimosa also speaks to enlightenment, as it is a hue that sparks imagination and innovation."While all the above testaments to the effects of yellow on the psyche are so true, yellow is a color that is a tried and true favourite and has been used abundantly throughout the annals of time. Although I don't subscribe to the fickle market trends of color ......thank-you very much Pantone for your re-packaging and re-marketing of the color Yellow and for giving it it's year of fame!! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifuAYXnWi3Jv6vaVqd4UJD-X-561j1_kCVJYvS7j8FN6kIeabOB62H-VYRJI_8uT7tERn9j_3bNfhpGtnTTd4cQ8FQyuDRlmbi59jw9vkkYjH8n3HW_NZB3oFV-BHyya_aDEAyA9tmZgSV/s1600-h/IMG_4980%5B5%5D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_4980" border="0" height="421" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_AJfvzRThjICDhxmlvI9HZaAb5Hz2rz3Dvcl6ka_3YrTPYYQ7bt_43LXPN6gLK9QSMkpgVzXumVZuL4yAoViXuKM2ZotgZFbnnqhf51B6ILcOzho5iWfsP7CYIU2-3MLda0-d2XNWAi8F/?imgmax=800" style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px" width="561" /></a>Sunset in Morocco taken by my girlfriend Ann on her desert safari expedition 2007.<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/patriciagray1/SIYoUDAYLfI/AAAAAAAAEsU/tqG80YTPqIQ/s1600-h/Venice%20Day%201%20013%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="Venice Day 1 013" border="0" height="464" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/patriciagray1/SIYoVu-sWtI/AAAAAAAAEsY/HDI_LMCiLsY/Venice%20Day%201%20013_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" /></a>Yellow lanterns on the <a href="http://patriciagrayinc.blogspot.com/2008/07/island-of-giudecca.html" target="_blank">Island of Giudecca</a> for the famous Rendentore fireworks celebration 2008 <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisNpIfuF9y5Dt8FxqMHe1nemWBOpToPrU42sra2VJHc56mJJK3s9DgxtWSGlzZhvf6_ftu2v2RKB9PHrGVj0GyfiFk-ufkQ3UsisGY5BqfEyO_HxaXOmCEqPbtiAsa2tv7UptyxEer_9nI/s1600-h/parish%20hadley%20reception%20via%20Peak%20of%20Chic%5B4%5D.jpg"><img alt="parish hadley reception via Peak of Chic" border="0" height="452" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYBzNAgr3eIWOjdm-7K6VK8nQYwAkrROFbkvOg5z2Hfji4M3gjMNm5uMnKMZcgpcYX9MwjRMK0n0ylG8Edu3hB2RGoY2zlQW9cMlgPMXiWdrlRyS6fz5jmORUTj_jCuFTlNGXK-m6OAXKK/?imgmax=800" style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px" width="330" /><img alt="albert-hadley-nymag from designpublic" border="0" height="453" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI5zCmNO6Fe4IBANIs6lRNUzCM79LkgPGpRrRJD4mmDiZJvd1QTK1wz8mu-xoNXgMKCttpkJMjbPI4gEokLwgOxeIRcgscjh1OfQN-qmz6yxyf9ggdIvjcB1STE4eSbD6PZmIklxe1BBBI/?imgmax=800" style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px" width="378" /> </a>Albert Hadley was using yellow in his designs in the 80's <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrFByBzepjgdGoSohN9GdDstm7K5X42192tGXBhqZUE09whOqh1CulckOHMZBeY_sY0tdKIu0p2r2EwEDfY7_TO7RQFXFfsbxlyxzwzAPSFmbjbeeiusG9JsX7zQkP4nqNseB2QRk5ypbG/s1600-h/david%20hicks1%5B5%5D.jpg"><img alt="david hicks1" border="0" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKYSFLzBAEBBpsYv42-1HcP1E-ScvNrcVz7x_G_zHd6OZT73Z-1WfL2wNHvkkfYTAEcph26fq-WkI7rNGAvxVxTarqx8lx-u68oT7QJu7hLluKMQoIxkaWvxW2MkckzsWEIRfZ19Ysg8te/?imgmax=800" style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px" width="509" /></a>David Hicks (left) used yellow in the 70's<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXX0T1ZV1KRWf_yEaFlUqnyZXIw4M9x0rqen68fAoMMkvCXaL-pvWepg24339kxd3BPB9OXKg7QnBL1yjQkD-MK68_IrM9AuDM9sAJpXmZ7cZJ9kwcP0Y_1qlgXmOYeJD2jlxrwyEZyEDj/s1600-h/image%5B3%5D.png"><img alt="image" border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh66aePQdGJIt5BlUSoKd89WuaTJQ-j3EE3AXrIP3SuE07ArFR4YsJrR6VuMcl-6tuF4DFlqLX2aJmkCxCbaNy3-G4haSMzWKt9__gpTtFBHWg6RxhnZoLlfuLjYjB5H7WShfV96TjtPEg-/?imgmax=800" style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px" width="404" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLLRSyOUKH0c3vz0r96N4uRmfQZG8_zg89_4p9joVo_inoVT_yFBO4tuJ9Y9DUq5N6FQzUeXpwN3AFqJpByxy-KSZR7VC7t6KXPOI1rUeVFUGgb6sib4rc1veCbYIsF4QOLg90FKBOrHqQ/s1600-h/DSC01027%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC01027" border="0" height="453" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7brxEYuapGK7wSI_G-RJFoQHg-4yv_rW7Sux4VgtaArv71c2UlO0kl7zRB6PJYXp5HtBxHrT7Su4rwsxi8Cj94psHrJHxcgnLDY-nUQQUcvssZijyVDHVK-81QGBQKo0lfn8JE7uFdS14/?imgmax=800" style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px" width="341" /> </a><a href="http://www.conranusa.com/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=25968&cid=SofasArmchairs&language=en-US" target="_blank">Conran</a> has introduced a yellow velvet for this sofa (left) just in time to catch the yellow wave.

Just look at the strong, simple forms of this couch and coffee table paired with an abstract painting that adds hints of color.  The Obamas' strike me as a modern family and maybe some modern furnishings and artwork will find their way into the White House.  Michael Smith has been talking about getting the furniture of the great masters of 20th-century American design,  like Billy Baldwin (see the post I did on Billy Baldwin <a href="http://patriciagrayinc.blogspot.com/2009/01/billy-baldwin-slipper-chair.html" target="_blank">here</a>), into the executive mansion. <img alt="michael smith" height="513" src="http://www.dominomag.com/images/galleries/decoratortour/gasl_michael_smith_daras_04.jpg" width="484" /> Maybe Michael Smith will create a strong, elegant Master Bedroom in the White House with the drama of a huge lacquered Chinese screen as a headboard, burled wood night tables, and '40s benches at the end of the bed.  And maybe a Suzani draped over the bed for a truly international flare. <img alt="michael smith" height="508" src="http://www.dominomag.com/images/galleries/decoratortour/gasl_michael_smith_daras_03.jpg" width="480" />  It's genius to put proper furniture in what's usually a functional space.  I have never seen pictures of the White House bathrooms, and wonder if they have the space for a large table like this one.  I think that the Obamas' have made a great selection in choosing Michael Smith.....what do you think?

Billy Baldwin's Slipper Chair

Probably no other piece has stood the test of time more than Billy Baldwin's classic and iconic Slipper Chair.  He was said to have designed it according to Mitchell Owen's article in the <a href="http://partners.nytimes.com/library/magazine/specials/20001029mag-owens1.html">New York Times</a> , for Pauline de Rothschild's  5' 9" lanky frame in mind thus making it easier for her to strike a pose and extend her long legs, and it also happens to be a a chair that men feel comfortable sitting in - which is not a small feat. Billy Baldwin's most famous piece his slipper chair is show in some photos below. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMcL8L6ssv22vT95vXLkJeihXdukqK_ok96cDJjxiBqk3UHhR8u3ntt5dMwmKaDARoRSZHGTxnrEirJ29knme1g3BFiZhP38T43cs2M4kgVwLsr4DO7TSQVCvpEGbJPXBybuwXnXrDhJux/s1600-h/image%5B13%5D.png"><img alt="slipper chairs" border="0" height="486" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmOQNGBBSyuUA28BWhrdX0Vm1zdrD6QZS-9fJH-RADXjz3K1dEjT5mNXY8irjES4k96GVK1mKEcH2yRHsr2DJ2ByCmGQer-z9JJ0WB47A96lIRl7unVabjTmb_hIImR2JzvNPKjJM3Nh9u/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px;
