Working Masters at the office

I love to get a sneak peak into designers’ world and get to see a little bit of their workspace.

Women Portraits

I remember when I saw Sofia Coppola’s home (above) at House and Garden. I can’t believe one of my favorite magazines is not around anymore. Anyhow, I still dream about this room. The sculptural table, the zebra rug, the vintage chair and of course the Elizabeth Peyton painting call my name, I mean isn’t this room timeless? Don’t you still love it? women portraits can certainly bring that vintage touch into a room.

Just perfect

I see something French, modern, traditional, tropical, sculptural in this image and everything works absolutely perfect together.

Got no green thumb

It’s time to spend more time outside and enjoy the “God blessed weather.” But first I have to accommodate our deck in order to do that. Of course my dream of a flowery outdoor space has literally gone with the wind. Our deck is too windy for the delicate nature of flowering plants. So I’m looking into stronger plants that require less physical effort as well. Remember these Domino images? I can’t overload our deck with anything like this but it’s a great point of departure for inspiration.

Folding Screens

Besides the architectural details it can bring to a room, a folding screen can also cover those imperfections that usually cannot be removed. It’s also an easy way to dress up a room bringing in pattern and color.

Sleeping with books

Considering that I don’t sleep much at all it may not be the best idea for me to have books in my bedroom. But, the coziness that books bring into a bedroom is a great option for either small or big spaces.
