Do Art & Real Estate Intersect? You Bet, Right Here in Dallas -Dallas Art Fair

By Candy Evans / April 15, 2012 /

I was at the amazing Dallas Art Fair Patron party Thursday night, and while my mouth moved more than my eyes, talking to throngs of friends, one image caught my eye at the booth of Santa Monica dealer Peter Fetterman, Peter Fetterman Gallery.

My Night at the Museum (Tower) Was Existential, Exhilerating, and Totally Worth Getting Fried

Each reflected the vision of its respective designer and clearly shows buyers how you can incorporate contemporary, transitional and traditional treatments into the gleaming glass tower. In other words, don’t think just because you are moving into Museum Tower like I am, that you only have to have the spartan look of sterile haute moderne in your home. Oh no, way no.
