There are only a few other colors bolder than red. A little can go a long way and when used in high lacquered furniture it can always add such a chic factor into a room. There is so much color going on in fashion right now that it feels like everyone is getting more and more comfortable wearing them. I myself have my eyes on a pair of emerald green I spotted over the weekend and I think I’m going back for them this week.
While reading T magazine over the weekend I came across this house and it literally took my breath away. The Georgian mansion called Dinder House sits on 23 acres in Somerset, England. Chris and Jo Mycock bought the house and all their request was to have a house fun and child friendly, a place where their 4 boys can spread around and run. As consequence a modern home designed by Ilse Crawford was the result, complete with lego rooms, a basement dedicated to a more than imaginative playroom and a table tennis room with an oversize colored-glass Venini chandelier hanging above it. Now wait until you see what they did with their kitchen. I’m more fond of traditional kitchens but what Ilse did with it, it’s such a clever and innovative idea in order to not alter the architecture. To read more and see more pictures of this gorgeous house go here.
The herringbone floor, the gilded Georgian oversize mirror, the Eames dowel leg chairs in different colors and the Rody Graumans’s 85 chandelier juxtaposed perfectly. I mean, in my opinion this room is perfect.

It should not take you by surprise that this house belongs to Pamela Skaist-Levy, co-founder of Juicy Couture in Beverly Hills, CA. Many of you may have even seen the images quite a few times since being featured in Harper’s Bazaar a few years ago. The house was designed by Peter Dunham and the Juicy Couture’s sense of drama and wild sophistication is imminently present, which Peter called “Duchess of Windsor meets Iron Maiden.” However Mr. Dunham wants to describe this house I’m up to move-in tomorrow.
