“An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.” Martin Luther King, Jr.
The Climbing Leopard rug designed by Diane Von Furstenberg for The Rug Company has a very good vibe from the 70’s that I easily relate to. Love it how Jeffrey Bilhuber used it in a hallway and don’t they look so perfect on the stairs below, also?
We are expecting guests this afternoon and we’ve been setting everything up for when they come to have a great time. Tomorrow, it’s all about relaxing.
Frederic Mechiche’s bathroom in Paris has been featured in Elle Decor UK Interiors and most recently in Elle Decor US December issue. And, no wonder why, with some changes and addition here and there this bathroom can transform into different personalities. The grisaille wallpaper and the black and white checkered floor set the stage for the amazing copper, deep bathtub to be the focal point. That’s until Andy Warhol pop art comes in. Of course my favorite of all the settings is exactly that one, where neoclassical architecture meets Pop Art. My kind of thing. Enjoy!
In this last shot featured in Elle Decor US he got rid of the niche and replaced the tub for a thinner one, in order to incorporate a marble column and an Urn with Greek key handles. I also don’t want to know what’s in it.
When there is larger than life ceilings there is for sure splendid. I came across this magnificent kitchen over the weekend and I couldn’t wait to share it with you. Don’t know much about it, only that it’s a Scandinavian Kitchen and I would say that apart from the stove being funnily small in scale the whole ambiance has a lot of provenance. The Morovian Star Pendant does give the height of the ceiling much more credit and the adorable sconces are almost unnoticeable but that is part of what makes this kitchen feel charmingly old. The incredible European tiles change from green to blue, surprising you and tying the predominant green to the less used blue tiles above the stove. Enjoy!
Talking about Morovian Start Lighting, isn’t this antique one amazing? Available at Antiques Associates.
I am quite busy this week and I hope that today is the craziest one of all. I’ll come back tomorrow with a much more fun post. Have a great day!
