STORE TOUR: The New “Undecorated” Look: Buy It At Reposed NY
By Lynn Byrne. Affordable, one of a kind cool stuff. We all want it for our homes.
Recently dubbed the new “undecorated” look by the Wall Street Journal, and the subject and title of a new book by Dwell Studio founder Christiane Lemieux, the trend is really about making all that style look “effortless”–as if you just threw it together and BANG, your home is uber hip.
This trend is kinda like the “natural” look in makeup. Make no mistake, the newly stylish “undecorated” look does require some work plus innate talent. There is still quite a lot of effort that goes into your home, including the requirements that you have a great eye and that special flair for arrangement.
Here is where Lisa Fegley-Petti’s new store Reposed NY comes in. She finds the requisite unique items so you don’t have too. Plus she shows you how to put it all together.
Lisa has an amazing eye for style and form.
Case in point, on a recent visit to her East Village store, I was captivated by this little vignette. What was that cool sculpture ($125) on the table?
I peered more closely at it.
Finally, I asked Lisa what it was. Turns out it is simply a bit of un-upholstered something or other! Now that is classic Lisa. Recognizing the artistic beauty in what others would overlook. Until, of course, she has “reposed” it in her store.
Of course, Christiane Lemieux’s book is packed with inspiration for the “undecorated” trend and by all means pick up a copy at Amazon. 
But also make sure you look closely at these shots taken by Lisa of her store. They are packed with design inspiration. And even better, you can buy this stuff (unless of course someone has beat you to it). Things are going like hotcakes, but you could call. ”New” cool vintage stuff comes in almost daily.
Here are a few of the goodies that I found when I visited yesterday that I would like to take home. (I took these photos.)
I would drape my necklaces and bracelets on this glove mold ($100) and I am charmed by the Saarinen style of the base of this sweet little lamp ($200). 
The lamp is cute lit too (that’s Lisa). 
Lisa told me she often replaces the shades on her “found” lamps. Here the new shade really ramps up the style factor of this ivory lamp ($475). We both like to work with Wes at the Accessory Store in Stamford for new lampshades. 
Cloches are hot! Here is an instant collection($60, $85, $95). 
These turquoise pillows ($75 each) are a fab fabric and would add a wonderful pop of color! 
This pair of classic horse bookends ($135) would work in almost any home. 
So check it out! Click here to visit Lisa’s website. Better yet. Go to the store for the latest. It is located on 1st street between 1st and 2nd Avenues.
And for you folks who like to shop in Stamford CT, Lisa maintains two booths at Hiden Gallery. This is what I spotted in her booth right up front by the entrance the last time I was there. 
Run. Don’t walk.
