Living Room Cush
Comfort is the word in the Meyers' living room, with piles of colorful pillows. Skilled collecting of used furniture and antique pieces can yield a beautiful eclectic decorating mix that combines styles and functions into a surprisingly unified whole.

A Pair of Eames
A pair of Eames lounge chairs, one with ottoman, face the living room sofa and form a living room conversation grouping, overseen by a thriving spider plant and walls customized with slatted boards and built-in shelving. The effect is retro and lounge-rific. (Photo from Wary Meyers Decorative Arts: WaryMeyers.com)

Mod
A pair of blue mid-century chairs and a white tulip occasional table make a sunny seat grouping. The home's high quotient for color, layers of colelctibles (note the interesting tablescape with the pair of decanters), and op art add up to a high mod look. The bold wallpaper graphic is no wallflower either! (Photo from Wary Meyers Decorative Arts: WaryMeyers.com)

Canoe Canoe?
One of the do-it-yourself, make-your-own projects in the WARY MEYERS' TOSSED & FOUND book is their Blue Willow Canoe, essentially a decorated canoe using modified designs based on the English Chinoiserie willow pattern. One of their canoes is hanging in the couple's home studio. (Photo from Wary Meyers Decorative Arts: WaryMeyers.com)

Kitchen Collection
When you've got a great assortment of hot orange La Crueset cookware, show it off to great decorating advantage as Linda and John Meyers did in this kitchen vignette. (Photo from Wary Meyers Decorative Arts: WaryMeyers.com)

Pop That Desktop Wall
Who says a white wall has to be boring? Having a ball with graphics, including a supersized-dial phone, the Meyers' desktop by their back door is a blast of funk and typography. (Photo from Wary Meyers Decorative Arts: WaryMeyers.com)

Super Graphic
A black-and-white supergraphic wall treatment compliments a low-slung white dresser and madcap, willy-nilly piles of white cushions in this bedroom grouping. (Photo from Wary Meyers Decorative Arts: WaryMeyers.com)

Bedroom with Planter Light
One of our favorite make-it-yourself projects in the WARY MEYERS' TOSSED & FOUND book is the Planter Light, and one of them hangs up in this bedroom. How clever to use those plastic planters either singly or two together with the tops bolted together; and the custom coiled retractile cord is swag-riffic.

Guest Room
The Meyers' guest room is a surprisingly serene composition of tribal and mid-century patterns, from the pillows and bedspread to the graphic wallpaper. The books and vintage framed art in the room, all in dark tones, add to the calm, but stimulating design. (Photo from Wary Meyers Decorative Arts: WaryMeyers.com)
