I was recently flipping through my old Traditional Home magazines, and came across this article. I don’t know how I missed it when it was new. I absolutely adore the cocoa tin and fabric it inspired. Poking around online, I eventually discovered that it is a Huyler’s Cocoa tin. I bought one from an online auction site for a very affordable price.

Thanks for sharing these gorgeous photos.

I was very moved by the selection of the products in the photo with the mural. I used it as an inspiration for a space that combines the old with the new. I was curious about the mural itself. Can u tell me it’s origin? Id like to find a similar one….Rachel septimus

i love how personal the collection is to him—- there are fabrics & china patterns that I remember from my grandparents’ homes on both sides that I still think about. memories are tied so deeply in pieces like those from our childhood.

My grandma used pieces from a bunch of different china sets on a daily basis in our family’s lakehouse. 15 years after she died, every piece of my favorite pattern (wild thistle) had been broken except for 1. I took that piece & was able to find it on replacements.com and I ordered 8 place settings. Looking at it & using it today just gives me the best feeling. Serving my 2 yr-old the same soup she used to make out of the same bowl…

ok, TOTALLY off & way too long of a comment but I really love what he’s doing here & it’s just so special.

xoxo,
lauren

I saw his collection at the WDC. I really liked them. I ordered a few memos for some current projects ~ I think they will be wonderful.

I am so glad you’ve posted these. I haven’t been able to make it down to any of the events downtown this week due to being down for the count with a combo of some stomach bug and a sinus infection….so I really appreciate the glimpse in!

Barry is a master of theory it is re-freshing! The de satuurated hues create that harmonious tonality..the transiton from tone to intense chroma is seamless! Congrats..look forward to using these in my color theory class.
