FOR THE RECORD Two tastes collide in a beautiful way in Brookside
Words SAMANTHA COLLINS Photos JILL DIMARTINO
ohnny Starke was born about 20 years too late and it shows. Instead of pining over the new and modern, he would rather dig through dusty, stained movie posters or records at a second-hand store. With his slicked-back dark hair and scruff, Johnny is a wannabe love child of the 1960s British mod culture—think young men in geometric-printed suits riding Italian motor scooters around London stopping to see the latest jazz group. He and wife Marissa, along with their furry felines Desmond and Nico, aren’t afraid to show off their unique, meshed style in their 1920s Brookside home. J
Mid-century chairs and a chrome lamp are the perfect additions to the Starke’s living room.
