Alyssa Kapito as seen at the Holiday House NYC

This harmonious living room was designed by Alyssa Kapito for this year’s Holiday House in New York City.  The yearly Show House benefits the Breast Cancer Research Foundation by giving 91 cents of every dollar to the cause.  The Show House showcases the work of 22 Interior Designers whose creations must be inspired by a theme or special occasion.  This neutral living room was one of the many beautiful rooms created by many talented Interior Designers.  The living room specially stood out to me because of the strong contrast that the black objects and furniture create.  You know how I feel about the use of black elements in interiors.  Alyssa Kapito went completely neutral with the decor of her space.  The difference in texture and wood tones add a lot of interest to the understated living room.  The space looks simple but the room had a lot of important pieces such as a portrait be Alberto Giacometti above the fireplace mantel, two chairs by Gustav Axel Berg by the desk.  The over sized abstract painting above the sofa is by William McClure.  I think the painting is spectacular in itself, it’s modern and subtle.  Ideal for the atmosphere of the living room.

Jenna Lyons’s Soho Home: A Unique Loft

Jenna Lyons’s Soho home featured in the December issue of T-Magazine is a sight of perfection.  She was eager to have a home as unique as possible so no one can ever replicate, again.  As it happened to be the case with her highly popular Brooklyn Brownstone which was more than copied by a few.  Even Samantha Cameron, the wife of then British Prime Minister David Cameron copied Jenna’s living room.  She recounted the story to T-Magazine of how surprised she was when visiting Cameron’s house.  Isn’t that funny… Well not this time.  This new home is a loft located in Soho, New York and is as unique as only a style setter like Jenna Lyons can do.  With the help of Interior Designer Meyer Davis the result is a mixture of modern and old, rustic and refined, polished and grand, furnished with exclusive designer label pieces.  I wish her home had been published before this post because it could’ve been a perfect example of a modern version of a collected home.  Sorry I had to mention it again… but I can’t help to point that out.  This apartment may not be easy to replicate but being as gorgeous as it is get ready to see it crowding your social fee.
