Even after a “joyful adventure” in downsizing, Pam Sommers still has some 1,000 books in her bright-blue Village studio. DHWendyGoodman reports
Great RoomsA huge, vintage early-20th-century “Ask Alexander” poster has pride of place on the wall over the dining table. “Alexander was a famous conjurer-magician-psychic-vaudevillian,” Pam Sommers says. “This was my late husband’s, and I love having it as a focal point in the room.”A huge, vintage early-20th-century “Ask Alexander” poster has pride of place on the wall over the dining table. “Alexander was a famous conjurer-magician-psychic-vaudevillian,” Pam Sommers says.
She then began what she describes as her “joyful adventure” of methodically purging, donating, and selling a loft’s lifetime of stuff: white Wedgwoods, copper pots, sets of linens, pottery, and — given her job as publicity director of Rizzoli — at least 3,000 books. She set up an Instagram account she dubbed “Pam Sells the Ranch” and ran it as a virtual yard sale.
“The biggest decision,” Sommers says, “was whether to bring along furniture I owned, like a big Empire-style dresser and green-painted primitive-country dish cabinet.” She let go of the heavier pieces, opting for more streamlined built-in bookcases and a banquette for the dining-work area.
