 L'Wren Scott's Paris Apartment office via belle vivir
Divine vignette in the living room of L’Wren Scott’s Paris Apartment, with Damien Hirst spots hanging in the back wall. Lately I’ve been drawn to more neutral interiors.  Interiors where warm-beige-painted paneling walls work as a backdrop to a combination of soft and textural furniture.  L’Wren and Mick Jagger’s home in Paris, featured in Vogue May issue,  is the total opposite of what you would expect from a Rock-Star home: with beautiful paneling, walls painted in beautiful light tones that go from lilac to beige, herringbone floors all throughout the apartment, antique rugs, and the perfect balance between wood and fabric.  The final result is a jaw dropping home.   What I love most is how updated the apartment looks by keeping the paneling walls in light tones.  Enjoy!

Take a tour of Jacques Grange’s vacation home in the very private area of Portogallo, Portugal.  I found these new images at Marie Claire Maison Italy, and some of the things I was able to interpret was that the house was previously a fisherman’s house and Grange did not change any of the exterior features.  “Fa tanto rustico-chic”  he says, and I agree.  Casa Nina was decorated in a fundamental but sophisticated way, respecting the originality of the house and using whites and many tones of wood, Moroccan carpet and Jacques Grange’s characteristic use of African textile.  Grange’s ceramic collection from Portugal, Turkey, and France are displayed throughout his exquisite vacation home.  Enjoy!

The chic and elegant color scheme in this modern flat makes me imagine a modern Audrey Hepburn living in the 21st century. The use of black and white with splashes of green, purple, red and blue give it such a feminine and fine atmosphere.
