n 2017, Cindy and Bobby Sherman bought the house Cindy had adored since she was a kid––a 1932 Tudor cottage nestled in the heart of Springfield that previously belonged to her mother’s best friend. She has spent the last few years transforming her home into the art-deco space of her dreams. The art deco movement began in Europe about a century ago and quickly took off in other parts of the world. It was a rebellion against classical aesthetics and prior artistic movements, but it is now considered a classic style in its own right and an enduring nod to Jazz-Age glamour. Art deco is characterized by sleek lines, vibrant metallics, geometric patterns and exaggerated curves.
A glamorous color scheme, some luxe lighting and a keen attention to small details are staples in curating an art-deco space, Cindy says. Before she started renovating her bar room, she bought a baby grand piano, which helped shape her vision for a new bar. She loved the sleek look of the piano’s black lacquer frame, and she began designing the space with that lacquer and the black-and-white color palette in mind. “I've always just kind of liked the art-deco look––the sleek lines of it, the curves of it,” Cindy says. “And so the bar, the way it was, it was very traditional looking. It had a brown and gold granite top, and it was pretty, but it wasn't the look I wanted.”
