Lately I can’t get enough of masculine interiors. Perhaps it’s because I’m working with a golfer gentleman who is very classic and has an elegant taste. So, I find myself immersed in search for some good inspiration that is how I came across Javier Castilla‘s immaculate style. Javier is a madrileño and his projects have been featured in many international magazines. He loves classic movies and he translates the glamour found in them to his interiors. And it’s obviously worthy.
On the other hand. Better late than never, I would like to announce the winner of the Stealing Magnolias book and thanks those who were able to comment. The lucky winner is…

One of the things I enjoy the most is when I go through my files looking for inspiration and I find something I had forgotten about, impressing me again and making me sigh. Last night, while searching for rooms with geometric rugs, I came across Laudomia Pucci’s home, a estate located in the hills of Florence and I felt like looking at a home that has been published just recently, even when these images were published in W magazine in 2005. The estate dates back from the Renaissance and the “modern, kicked-back glamour” is my favorite feature of this house because it makes the Renaissance architecture warm and comfortable, two of my all time favorites as well. The earthy tones and red throughout the estate also adds to the overall elegant comfort atmosphere.
I’m looking forward to reading the Jan/Feb issue of VERANDA where Jennifer Lopez’s California home is featured. The subtle glamour of the interior was designed by Michelle Workman. “Jennifer wanted to go modern and streamlined but retain the sophistication and stylishness. It’s tastefully glamorous, like Jennifer herself” he says. I personally llike the serene colors used throughout the house.
