An incredible orchestra of modern architecture and modern furnishings. Just gorgeous and loving every bit of it! By Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects in Amagansett, NY.

Gorgeous floor to ceiling Duratherm doors and windows. A simple Boffi kitchen with a Gaggenau cooktop, and vintage Arne Jacobsen barstools from Wyeth. I like the contrast of the hard surface flooring with the wood window/door frames. It bring warmth back into the space.

Vintage Jacobsen side chairs surround a custom-made wood and steel dining table. These fab outdoor sofas are by Sutherland.

This is stunning.

A gorgeous contemporary beachy home in Amagansett by Athena Calderone.

I love it when rectangular paves are inset in grass. Such a lovely pathway.

Perfection as a tub. Boffi?

Besides a mountain house, I would love a ranch…dreams do come true. This ranch, owned by Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres is everything one would want in a ranch; rustic, understated, yet fabulously sophisitcated.

Simple mix of materials; leather, linen, stone. The leather chair is a 1962 Fabricius & Kastholm chair. The sofa is upholstered in belgian white linen…my fav!

This 18th-century Spanish wood ring is the perfect piece to finish this room.

This dangling chalkboard is such a fantastic idea. The room is painted in Farrow & Ball’s All White.

This I LOVE! Jean Prouvé, and the table is by Axel Vervoordt. So simple and sophisticated.

Interesting mix here with the  1960 Illum Wikkelso sofa and the Alison Berger floor lamp. 1965 Ib Kofod-Larsen armchair.

If I could switch places with anyone, who would it be…Gwyneth Paltrow, of course!! And I just happen to be doing just that…my big news of the New Year is that my husband, daughter and myself are moving to London! And it just so happens that our dear Gwyneth has just bought an estate in Los Angeles…the place I will no longer call home. Check out her amazing estate designed by Windsor Smith.

Just beautiful.

I’m back from celebrating me and my husband’s third year anniversary. We went back to the Calitoga Ranch where we got married. To say it was special is an understatement. This image completely reflects my mood during our sojourn. Enjoy the moment. I am going to try and stretch this feeling, but it’s so hard to when you get back home isn’t it?

A very cool abstract game of hop scotch could happen here. Love it.
