My Grandmother is over eighty and still doesn’t need glasses. Drinks right out of the bottle.

I really prefer homes that have a rich history and tell a story. A home full of soul and individuality, like the two houses below owned by Gloria Vanderbilt. The first image is my favorite perhaps because of the mix of style and furniture that reveals the many travels of her owner. The last image is a photograph by Jack Robinson of Gloria Vanderbilt and her family in their home in Southampton in 1972. And to my eyes that living room is still beautiful. I see both of these spaces timeless and comfortable, a kind of place where I can definitely live in today.

In this house, we drink wine and Champagne occasionally. So after a few years accumulating hundreds of corks I decided to recycle them. I got a frame, attached a plywood piece to the back and glued all the corks to turn it into an inspirational board in the Kitchen.

Since I mentioned before that I’m slowly working on my deck during my spare time, I have been searching for rooms that inspire me. I’m looking to create a more relaxing and cozy outdoor space; a place where we can hang out for hours without getting our backs twisted. This room has incredibly beautiful details that are eye catching such as the gorgeous arched ceilings,
de Gournay wallpaper, the many orchids displayed throughout, the simple and unusual black and blue floor tiles and I can go on and on. The only thing I would bring with me into this room is lots of pillows for those back iron chairs, an ottoman to put up my feet, a few books and drinks.

I’m an advocate for strong architecture, big dominating art and sculptural shaped furniture. Francesco and Gael Boglione’s house in Richmond, England has lime-washed walls that get enhanced even further with the couple’s incredible art collection that include works by Gary Hume, Lucien Freud and Damien Hirst among others. The most interesting part of this house is how the couple were able to keep it elegantly simple while having that impressive collection of art.
