Antiques Centre of Troy Continues 'The Art of Designing With Antiques' With Interior Designer Paul Canvasser's Vision of a Romantic Scandinavian Country Home
TROY, Mich., April 1 /PRNewswire/ -- While design magazines are a mainstay for interior-decorating ideas, there's nothing like being in the heart of a room to feel the power of the design aesthetic. That's why Judy Frankel, owner of Antiques Centre of Troy, is showcasing designer vignettes within her 8,000-square-foot gallery, introducing unexpected design concepts – and the talented designers who created them – to the public, and through her Web site, www.judyfrankelantiques.com.

April's vignette, "The Promise of Spring", evokes the look of a romantic Scandinavian country home, with furnishings dressed in the colors of an icy spring morning. As the season of renewal is upon us, the idea of rebirth plays a key role in much of what we do, from how we dress to how we decorate. While this vignette ignites feelings of the warmth of memorable and familiar pieces, it also provides a fresh outlook on spring design. This crisp yet traditional mood marries effortlessly with the use of contemporary fabrics and a dressing down of antiques. The ice-blue setting, complemented by cool aqua and deep purple hues, is further enhanced by the inclusion of a beautiful 18th century Abusson Tapestry and the richly glazed pottery of Roger Guerin.
Paul Canvasser is a nationally renowned interior designer who has been featured in House Beautiful magazine, and whose own residence was spotlighted on HGTV's Homes Across America. The Michigan native, who also has a residence in Rancho Mirage, Calif., established his firm, PDC Design, in 1982. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan College of Art and Architecture, and is a professional member of A.S.I.D.
Located at 2830 W. Maple Road, Antiques Centre of Troy specializes in European antiques and sells mostly English, French and Belgian pieces. Judy Frankel's sophisticated eye has helped her to create a shop with a diverse and particularly fine selection that rivals what designers are looking for in shops in Atlanta, New Orleans, New York and L.A. The gallery has become a magnet for collectors and interior designers in the greater Metro Detroit area who want to decorate with warmth, beauty and the history of fine antiques – always at affordable prices. www.judyfrankelantiques.com
