These design stars source much of their modern taste from furniture & painting dating from the 17th-20th century.  As they describe it in their company bio:

"{Sills Huniford} have a keen sense for the backbone of a room including the structure and architecture. They enjoy working with rare materials such as parchment, shagreen, honed stones, limed oak, and tooled leather.

Get inspired to add some antiquities-glam to your bedroom, living room, & more! Let's start with their

Yeah! Impressive! Modern Girl Style loves Sills Huniford & their sensual, beautiful, and iconic designs!

Sills Huniford have even recently published a book!

This book brings the luxury and sensuality of Sills Huniford's signature style to a practical level, addressing concerns like integrating technology into the home, devising the most flexible floor plan, and getting the most out of a small space and modest budget. Every aspect of style is addressed in clear language detailing the basic lessons of design. Their unmatched understanding of atmosphere, color, and design is brought to life in stunning and never-before-seen color photographs that prove both inspiring and practical. DWELLINGS is certain to become a touchstone for a generation that is searching for a new level of style and sophistication in the way they live.

DWELLINGS goes beyond your typical interior-decorating coffee-table book. Not simply a compendium of Sills and Huniford's work, the book provides real guidance and insight on how to think about the home you want to create and gives specific knowledge, from sources to techniques. Considering the lifestyle of today's consumers, Sills and Huniford explore integrating technology - like computers, faxes, and big-screen televisions - into your home; coping with small living spaces, and adapting rooms for multiple purposes; as well as deciding what's important - and what's not - to include in your budget.

Capturing Sills Huniford's unmatched understanding of atmosphere, color, and a room's sensuality, this innovatively designed book will serve as both inspiration and a reference tool for creating a beautiful home at every budget level.

Modern Girl Style Design Idea: Make your own chalkboard on masonite board cut to the measurements of the space. Use  chalkboard paint that is pre-made or  follow Martha Stewart's directions on how to DIY. Have fun with friends, add notes, & draw pictures. This would also be great in a family room, maybe in a location where you don't have to step on the couch!
