Welcome to our second installment of What's Burning, where we share someones room we love and they tell us what scent they love burning in said room.
This month I visited Austin Baragary and Levi Kuhn at their mid century split level ranch. They are the design duo behind Apollo’s Room, offering interior styling and upholstery services and have actually helped me with multiple projects including drapes, custom tablecloths and pillows (seen here!)
Jaclyn: Tell us about the room and all the beautiful objects. Is there a method to your collecting?
Austin & Levi: This is our hearth room - it's the room that drew us to this house. It has amazing built in shelves that let us show off things we've collected. Our approach to collecting and putting any room together is to buy things we like and trust we'll find a place for them - whether that's art or furniture or books. Sometimes they immediately have a place and sometimes we have to play with it and put it away until the right spot reveals itself.
Jaclyn: Tell us about the name, Apollo's Room - I notice Grecian accessories throughout!
Austin: We played with a lot of names but landed on Apollo's Room because I have a deep love of Greek mythology and we both love neoclassical and classical motifs. Who doesn't love a nude discus thrower?! Playing on those themes felt right and like it fit with our interests.
Jaclyn: I know Cheroute No. 4 is one of your favorite scents. Tell us why you chose it.
Austin & Levi: We love the way it incorporates masculine and feminine notes - which we think works well in our spaces. We tend towards a somewhat masculine look in our personal spaces but always make sure to have some whimsy and cheekiness in there as well.
Thank you Austin & Levi for sharing your fab space and story with us!
