Baltimore Magazine, October 2010

Opener for "Behind The Gilt Curtain" article
Shot for the "Home" special edition section of October's issue of Baltimore Magazine, this article featured three homes belonging to a more private area of Baltimore called Guilford.  Each home is featured on the "Maryland House and Garden Pilgrimage", an annual tour of the Guilford neighborhood.  The images used in the opener (above) is from the home of Maliene Wajer, an antiques dealer with an absolutely gorgeous home in the area.  Her house is filled with the most amazing collection of beautiful antiques, furniture, books, artwork, and taxidermy.  I could spend years photographing the things in her house and find something new and interesting every day.  Click the jump for more stuff from the Wajer house and shots of other homes featured in the article....


Maliene and her husband Bernard have owned and operated Crosskeys Antiques for more than 25 years.  During that time, they've accumulated a ton of beautiful antiques and some really cool stuff.  Here is just a handful of some of the wonderful things to be seen in the Wajer's home:

Bookshelf with a little owl.  Really great books here!



One of Maliene's own beautiful art books.  If I remember correctly this one was a photo album.



I think this guy was ceramic, not stuffed



Small ceramic(?) doll in it's own special small wooden chair



An owl among some foliage and field books 


Also included in the article was the home of Peggy Mullan Greenman, whose home is furnished with furniture built by her father, Joseph Mullan:

One of the many beautiful furniture pieces by Joseph Mullan


The calligraphic Mullan family tree


Burled walnut secretary w/ dozens of drawers and cabinets






Signature detail on the secretary

And last but not least, the home of Barbara Brody, a Spanish-style Fowler house with a bright living room and beautiful in ground pool that make you feel like you're no longer in Baltimore:


Over sized windows and a high vaulted ceiling keep it bright





Entry hall, just past the front doors


Wow.


Really.  Wow.
