Can I move in? Daphne Guinness at home

Daphne Guinness home de signed by Daniel Romualdez

Daphne Guinness’ apartment in New York City was designed by Daniel Romualdez and its owner’s unique style is interpreted in various ways especially through the abundance of mirror covering walls throughout the space. I love the combination of modern art and classic elements such as the folding screen covered in chinoiserie, the Louis XVI style chair and modern art by Damien Hirst.

A gilt floor lamp which I think it should be mine. 🙂

Adore the pop of color on the Louis XVI chairs.

A Paris Townhouse

I love going into designers’ websites and coming across new images to peruse. Yesterday I went into Tom Scheerer‘s website and found these images that I personally had not seen before. Two apartments from two different continents but both sharing that unmistakable Tom Scheerer atmosphere of down to earth sophistication. Both have that relaxed vibe that always makes me want to take life more laid back. The first four images are from a NYC loft. I love how the low furniture make the windows look a lot taller.

Below are a few images of what, according to Schreerer’s website, is a Paris townhouse, but to me it looks more to what a cozy chateau in the south of France would resemble. Textured stone floors and walls, beam ceilings, and a more serious furniture selection.

Mirrored beds,

I have a big French 1940’s mirror above my sofa and I can’t avoid the thought of the mirror falling down. Imagine what wouldn’t I think if I got to sleep in a mirrored bed not to mention if the mirror is hanging as a heavy headboard. I’m certain that all these beds are built steady and that my thoughts are nothing more than just me being myself. I’m keeping these images in my file for when and if I get over my fears. But if you’re looking to sleep like a Hollywood star there are a few places where you can buy mirrored beds or even costumize it. If you prefer the non-four-poster style, for custom mercury antiqued bed like Bunny Williams’ unforgettable bed (first image) go here, or if a mirrored bed is too much for you but still want some glam then a mirrored crown is another option, you can find onehere.

Who doesn’t remember this image of Miles Redd having his coffee in bed while wearing tuxedo?

Ice green?

Is there such a thing as Ice green as a color name? I honestly don’t know. But if there is… then it should look like this.

I have forever loved this kitchen.

Beautiful Vignettes

From fresh flowers reflecting on a burst mirror….. to skinny sculptural horses on a side table….. to African mask and textiles in a bathroom…The options to decorate small spaces are infinite, yet make such a difference.

mirror mirror

I’m looking to doing a mirrored wall in my house and my first option is to be doing it in an antiqued finish, which would give me that collective look I’m looking for in my house. But, I’m not willing to pay thousands of dollars for a 5 ft wide wall. Another option is to get pieces of mirrors and antique it myself but I really don’t have the time or the energy for that. So, I think I’ll start focusing on the benefits of a regular mirrored wall for its function. For example, you can actually see yourself in it without any flaws, it’s brighter and I can always embellish it as much as I can.
