This beautiful summery kitchen immediately transports me to a far away spot under the Mediterranean sun where the days are long and warm, and everything seems and appears to be easier and leisurable. Enjoy!

When I think of customizing or designing a bathroom the first thought that comes to my mind after functionality is of relaxation and pampering. A bathroom is the most private room in the house and it’s also the place we need to rely on in the mornings to helps us start the day efficiently and happy. One of my favorite things in our bathrooms is Lucas’s bathtub because it’s perfect for all our needs. I personally prefer a pedestal tub, the kind that do not have legs, but whether you prefer one with legs or not, Quality Bath has all the options for you. Below are a few of my favorites from their great selection.
This copper tub reminds me of Frederique Mechiche’s beautiful bathroom.
Always loved this bathroom!
In Marie Chantal Millers’s house, an amazing Herve van der Straeten chandelier and an English convex mirror glam the Vienne bench. I love this entrance so much so that I have it in my inspirational board since 2006, as an Interior Designer myself, I keep my inspirations close. The London townhouse of Princess Marie-Chantal Miller of Greece and her family, designed by François Catroux, has been one of my favorite homes ever since I saw it. Marie Chantal Miller’s house was published in House and Garden magazine in 2006 and it still feels so up-to-date. The neutral, warm palette throughout is revived with contemporary art. The incredible art collection mingles with Herve van der Straeten exquisite pieces and custom furniture by the Francois Catroux. Many people would think that this house is too formal but, besides being the house of a royal family, it is a house that’s also located in London which would call for a more formal environment than a house in the country or in the beach.
Marie-Chantal poses in front of a Donald Baechler. If anyone out there wants to give me a gift, please make it a Donal Baechler painting. Thank u 🙂
Michael Smith is well known for his very traditional style. I was happy to see in Wall St Journal Magazine this weekend the marvelous work Smith did with his new home. This home showcases a mixture of modern architecture with transitional and classic furniture with a few modern pieces in a more spare but still warm ambiance. I especially love the old paintings contrasting with modern floors and white plain walls. This is a stunner!
This kitchen designed by Miles Redd for a family in Connecticut is in the July issue of Architectural Digest. I love how the blue of the walls and wood color of the cabinets contrast each other. Miles really knows how to make an impact. Enjoy!
Sorry about my iPhone photo.
Waiting for paint at Lowe’s yesterday while flipping the pages of Veranda, I was splashed with a freshness of color and drama from a Water Mill, NY home designed by Thomas Britt and Valentino Samsonadze. The global chic and collected feel of the house is breathtaking and unique. I think the incredible size of the house lends itself to the feel of drama and grandeur. Enjoy!
