I have decided to take a more modern approach to the furniture there. With ocean views from almost every room, I find myself  drawn to the more simple lines of modern furniture in neutral tones.  I have drawn inspiration from many places including Helene Forbes Hennie whose work is pictured above. I have ordered some lovely chairs, a bit more boxy, but similar to the ones above and I am still searching for the right sofas. I want to live in the space first so I can choose just the right furniture for us – so for now the house will be a bit of a mish mash while I edit and change up the things I kept from our old house. <br /><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=magni+interiors&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&docid=O0lkkwJ8Pr1iGM&tbnid=WfM0IOrrRhTALM:&ved=0CAUQjRw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.architecturaldigest.com%2Fdecor%2F2012-02%2Fjames-magni-design-beverly-hills-home-slideshow_slideshow_item3_4&ei=eC2EUZmfIvSx0AHlwoHwCw&bvm=bv.45960087,d.dmQ&psig=AFQjCNESWLmsrXxOEJX1nF7fDmrvXigxZQ&ust=1367703275209089"><img height="441" src="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/decor/2012-02/james-magni-design-beverly-hills-home-slideshow/_jcr_content/par/cn_contentwell/par-main/cn_slideshow/item3.rendition.slideshowWideHorizontal.james-magni-design-beverly-hills-home-04-living-dining-area.jpg" width="661" /></a></div><div align="center"><br />Another source of inspiration has been the work of  designer, James Magni.   I adore his peaceful interiors.
