MICHAEL HENNESSY HOME

PAINTING - ERIC ERNST / DESK & CHAIR - MICHAEL HENNESSYIs it me or does it seem like every new home store you walk into these days looks like it has been dreamt up by a teenage viewer of The Hills who thinks living in NYC or LA must be all about GIANT furniture?  I swear some of these over-designed items are big enough to make you feel like a Lilliputian!  The reality is that most people in NYC do not live in a 5,000 square foot loft - just so you know.   Happily, this article is not about such a store!

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that Michael Hennessy was opening a design store in Chelsea, as I knew his work and reputation in the Hamptons for years.  First off, Michael Hennessy is an interesting guy.   An artist with a paint brush and an artisan with a wood saw.   While the talent and inspiration go hand and hand for both mediums, it's not often we see someone pursue their passions in all directions. SASHA WARDELL - BONE CHINA *EXCLUSIVE TO MH HOME

One look around the store and it is clear that Mr. Hennessy has an affinity for artisans.  His choices really celebrate the creatives out there who have such great talent, and needed a venue that could nurture their work.   Combining his own creations with that of like minded Artists and furniture craftsmen has created a very unique environment.  You find things here that are not in a dozen other stores around town.   Shouldn't that be the point of designing a room for your home?DAYBED - ERIC FREEMAN / MIXED MEDIA ART - MILA WILSON / BELLA LAMP - ANDREA SUMMERTON

The store is eclectic and colorful and sure to inspire you.   You won't find another store with a collection like this.   Like a fine curator, Michael Hennessy is able to keep his collection as sharp and relevant as any gallery in Chelsea.   Visit Michael Hennessy Home.  In fact, make it a regular resource for your searches.   You will not be disappointed with what you find.   The staff is as friendly and helpful as can be, which makes it all the more enjoyable to stop by often.

Michael Hennessy Home is located at 207 West 18th Street: (646) 370-6575  -To read and see more: click - MH HOME.
