Before: Lifeless Beginnings

When Scott Laslie and Alex Guerrero first moved into their new apartment, it was colorless. They decided to work together to combine both of their styles in every room, and assigned more than one purpose to some of the rooms.

Coming Together

To merge Scott's style with Alex's style, the couple combined each of their own favorite pieces to create something truly unique. While the traditional-style furniture and modern art collection are from Scott's previous home, Alex's flair for all things midcentury modern makes its way into the room in the form of a chrome Milo Baughman coffee table.

Alex's Midcentury Style

To incorporate informal dining into their living room, the couple included a midcentury-modern Saarinen tulip table and four chrome Bertoia chairs, all of which came from Alex's previous home, a townhouse just one block away that he sold prior to moving in with Scott.
