Richard Saja installation at the Shelburne Museum in Vermont

The Shelburne Museum writes of its May 17 - October 25, 2009 exhibition:

New York textiles designer Richard Saja channels his cheeky sense of humor and sophisticated style into transforming the interior of Shelburne Museum's Kalkin House into a 19th - century salon infused with his characteristic "historically inaccurate" take on tradition.

The site-specific installation includes new works in a variety of materials inspired by archetypal salon decor and objects in Shelburne Museum's collections, including quilts, sillouhette portraits and needlework.

This is REALLY something to take a look at. It's an amazing installation & concept. Check out the Shelburne Museum:
