#REPOST @kellywearstler with SHOW AND TELL. With Mexican modernism and warm, earthy Portuguese and Spanish influences at its heart, the inviting signature restaurant and bar @caldoverde_dtlap at @downtownlaproper embody a tapestry of richly varied and timeless elements. A monumental stained-glass installation created by renowned local glass artisan @judsonstudios is the iconic portal and grounding spirit of the space, evoking the trompe l’oeil glass entryways in the Roma district of Mexico City. Checkerboard cocoa and sandstone hand-painted custom tiles patterned with an ornamental metallic glazed tile envelope the walls and columns with visual dimension. Eclectic vintage seating and communal tables meld with custom silhouettes in spice-hued finishes and fabrics while vintage rugs add to the intimate residential feel. Ebonized ribbed wood, copper and vintage granite stone dress the bar and handsomely frame a hand-plastered wall and antiqued mirror. XK
