Bridge Tap House & Wine Bar in The Riverfront Times

brynne — Sat, 22 May 2010 23:21:51 +0000

The Riverfront Times reviewed Bridge Tap House & Wine Bar, one of my recent interior design projects. Ian Froeb wrote about his experience: “You enter into the bar, a space that is awesome in the original sense of the word: Light fixtures like oversize birds’ nests are suspended from the ceiling.” To read the full Riverfront Times article on Bridge click here. Or check out more images of Bridge in my portfolio section.

Bridge is named after the bridge of a violin, which is essential to the tone of the instrument. This tool became inspiration for the design and sound resonating moods, including a gallery of commissioned studies by photographer Ricardo Martinez. Here are some of his stunning polaroid prints:

Bridge is located in downtown St. Louis and is a great spot to chill casually in the city and sample the impressive selection of beer and wine. The food is also quite yummy. Some of my favorites are the gorgonzola and bacon bread pudding and the board called Heartland, which is goat cheese and tomato jam. Remaining one of the most delicious things I have ever put in my mouth. Just another reason to miss and visit St. Louis.

freeing butterflies

brynne — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 03:26:23 +0000

Last night I had the pleasure of attending the SCA70 Benefit for The Society for Contemporary Art of Chicago with my good friend, private butler Joseph Goins. It was not until almost the end of the artful evening and Gallery 3 was about to come to a close, when I came across the most stunning watercolor pencil piece by artist, Maximo Gonzalez. All I saw was this figure reaching for the sky and unleashing from an opening in his chest- a massive flock of butterflies! In the plexiglass foreground of the piece clung scattered static flecks of silver and gold leaf, making the effect three dimensional and hopefully sentimental. I was tearfully in awe. When I read the title of the work, I feel butterflies, somehow it called to me eloquently, exactly how I feel about love and joy at this point in my life. At the close of the silent auction some little good-natured flutterer found me on my side. I feel butterflies by Maximo Gonzalez became my contemporary art tattoo for my living room, where I believe it will continue to make me smile and feel butterflies.

In Chicago Home & Garden

Bedrooms by Brynne mentioned in Chicago Home & Garden online, click here to see.

“I bumped into decorator Brynne Rinderknecht at a NeoCon party last month, and we caught up on life and some recent projects that she’s been working on. Brynne used to style sets for Playboy photo shoots, and branched off into her own biz, Bedrooms by Brynne a couple of years ago. She’s got a great eye, a flair for drama, and the ability to transform spaces using what clients already own as well as new pieces. This pic is from a job she did in Wicker Park (I’m enchanted with that chandelier), and I’m eager to see how a Hyde Park home that she described as “fresh Old Hollywood” turns out.”
