A treat
11.4.11

In true Thad Hayes style, elegant yet full of comfort.

 

Beautiful entry. Love these thin long pavers.

 

These chairs look so comfortable!

 

Ethereal sheers and monochromatic color palate paired with light and medium woods. Apparently, Thad Hayes got his color inspiration from sycamore bark…love it.

A beautiful piece of A-frame architecture by William O’Brien Jr. Love the simplicity and peacefulness the home and its setting exudes.

The Blakes Hotel, London
11.1.11

I was in London this past weekend and had afternoon tea at the Blakes Hotel. I had ginger tea and delish scones with cream and strawberries…yum! While the interiors are not so modern per se, Anouska Hempel designed impeccably luxurious and graceful suites with billowing drapes and a light palate that bow to the traditional vein and also manifest with a contemporary clean natural palate. Not too shabby for a stay, right?

 

 

 

Such a princess canopy bed!

 

 

Look up and all around

I am on a plane today starting a long trip, first stop being London and then many more stops to update you with later. So, I leave you with a beautiful project by a fav of mine, Shelton, Mindel & Associates, project 3502.

 

Poul Henningsen Chandeliers and Jean Prouve barstools in the background.

 

This coffered ceiling…oh my! Swoon! And what beautiful wainscoting.

 

Piet Hein barstools. Love these! Love the simplicity of this simple ceiling mounted fixture. Oh, and the paneled wood cabinetry! Sexy and classic!

 

Floor to ceiling walnut wood walls mirrored by white boiserie walls…um yes, please!

 

Arne Jacobsen Pot Chairs.

 

Yrjö Kukkapuro lounge chairs…totally futuristic and really pop in the office.

 

Stunning and rare Pierre Chapo Stools and dining table.

I think i’m in love

With this lamp!! The W102 lamp by by British architect, David Chipperfield, sold at Merchant No.4. I don’t think I can resist it!!

 

 

A bit of vintage
10.26.11

The very well articulated home of art dealer Brent Sikkema by Interior designer Corinne Gilbert from MC & Co.

Just perfect mix of modern and vintage. Love the soft curves of the Bloomy armchairs by Patricia Urquiola for Moroso paired with the Jean Prouvé coffee table. Photographs are by Vik Muniz and the floor lamps are 1967 designs by Angelo Mangiarotti.

 

A Jean Prouvé bench adds warmth to this all white kitchen.

 

Hans J. Wegner lounge chair. A gouache by Sol LeWitt hangs above a headboard upholstered in wool. The lamps are by Ross Lovegrove, and the tactile vintage bedspread is by Paco Rabanne.

Have you ever wondered how Ellen + Portia de Rossi live? I have! Do you like it?  It’s an interesting mix of some contemporary lines, vintage, rustic and traditional.

Good morning sunshine!

It’s monday so let’s start our week off with a bit of perfect from genius Christian Liaigre.

 

 

Unbelievably gorgeous and sumptuous mix of materials with metal, parchment, and velvet.

Christian Liaigre is the king of creating warm contemporary interiors using a mix of textural intriguing materials like metal, natural woods, luscious velvets, lacquers and stone. Mmmmmm.

Sweeping views
10.21.11

For friday, let’s have some views. Toshiko Mori Architect designed this New York Hudson Valley retreat for Mary and Sean Kelly of Sean Kelly gallery.

 

I kind of want to be this You cast-iron sculpture by Antony Gormley’s. Look at those views!

 

Perfect place to just chill. Poul Kjærholm wicker chaise longue and low table.

 

A suspended sofa by Poul Kjærholm and the Antony sconce by Serge Mouille are both 1950s. That sconce is nothing but perfection.

 

Vintage Arne Jacobsen seating with a set of Grand Prix chairs and a Giraffe armchair surrounding a minimalist custom dining table actually set into a polished-concrete floor!

A lovely detail. Love how the bed is made and the gorgeous mix of textiles with the form of the Arne Jacobsen swan chair. Sycamore bed by Mori.

Lazy day-z
