Mass Modern Moodboards

Wright Auctions just had their Mass Modern Auction yesterday, with pieces going for some very affordable prices. Ang and I thought it would be fun to each mock up a living/dining room with the pieces available. Using some criteria of what was needed(i.e. one sofa, one armchair, dining table, set of chairs, etc.), we sifted through the whack load of beautiful stuff and put together two moodboards reflecting some of our personal style (and yes we know artwork is not scaled to size but that's why getting creative ie. murals are a good option).  We didn't have much time to crop and clean up white space... this was an exercise in fun.

We separately completed our boards the evening before the auction/results. Funny thing is we picked a few of the same pieces - these minds think alike! We're happy with the end result, hopefully you'll appreciate it too! Here is the tallied $ totals/final results of each room:

my rooms came in at a hefty $26,502 (my room also contains three more pieces than ang's)



LIVING ROOM
Anonymous untitled print (goats on the beach)

Melchiorre Bega wall-mounted cabinet from the Villa Sacchetti, Rome

Ang's room came in give or take $17,034. (we say give or take, because of two reasons. 1- she selected the la fonda coffee table as the dining table. for an additional $1000 we'll pretend its been upgraded to a dining table version. 2- the bayer print must not have sold as no result was posted. we have used the highest estimate amount for this piece)

Oh, my goodness, yes! I have been searching for months for an affordable yet stylish floor lamp because I just cannot live with that torchiere lamp left over from my first apartment any longer… Thanks for the suggestion!
