greige in Paris


I took just a minute to peek at my photos from Paris this weekend in between getting ready for some presentations I have today and I really need to share some of the fun with you!  This is a little peek at the semi private tour we took when we visited Versailles this time.  I am keeping my fingers crossed that our container will actually be leaving France this week too!

Wishing you a wonderful start to the short Holiday week!

San Francisco Decorator Showcase 2013: Catherine Kwong


This years San Francisco Decorator Showcase is a beautiful mix of old and new with an emphasis on a unique set of juxtaposed details thanks to Catherine Kwong and the other talented designers.   Catherine designed the Living area of this amazing home and I love this space just as much as I loved her own beautiful home!

Catherine Kwong designs a decadent
rock 'n roll hideaway for the 2013 San Francisco Decorator Showcase.
With custom furnishings and an emphasis on luxe materials, Catherine
Kwong brings her signature elegance and modern point of view to create
a grand living room.
“The design was inspired by Mick and Bianca Jagger in the 1970’s - the
young and wild, traipsing-to-Saint Tropez years,” said Catherine Kwong.
“I was doing research for a client and discovered all of these beautiful old
photos of Mick and Bianca that depicted a wild romance. They were
impossibly stylish and full of excitement, with a bit of scandal, of course.
So I designed this room for them; a place for late-night parties with rock
royalty and the jet-set. I wanted the room to be just like Mick and Bianca:
luxe and decadent, but with a rock 'n roll edge.”
The star of the room is the dramatic painted floor, which serves as a rich
canvas for the room’s artful mix of luxurious textures, details and lines.
Inspired by the iconic paintings of Cy Twombly, the floor was
hand-painted in exuberant brushstrokes by decorative painting firm,
Stancil Studios.

intricate detail...


The detail is so amazing in this space.  I cannot even imagine in person how beautiful it must be!  I hope you are having a wonderful Tuesday!  Today I am so excited to visit a little vintage fabric pop up shop.  I cannot wait to share my finds with you.  I will admit that fabrics are one of my weaknesses, that along with books and purses and shoes, and clothes, and side tables... okay so I have a few weaknesses but fabric is at the top of the list- I suppose it could be worse right!?

Mix it up...


I adore these two dining rooms for their great sense of style.. so fun to mix it up don't you think.  I am not really a traditional person and I think that being able to use things that you truly love in this way is what makes a house a home.  Keeping it interesting is the point right?

greige and butterflys...


From a beautiful Parisian apartment comes a dreamy bath with a mix of greige and grey along with lovely butterflys.. Oh how I dream of my own Paris apartment.  I love the height that they use in the space- perfection really.

ceiling detail...



 This is all around amazing, I love the detail in the ceiling treatment and the banquette, both obvious but subtle because of their color.  The attention to the details make this a great space.

working towards the dream...



I love all of the intricate details of Paris, I love that she stays there being beautiful just waiting for us to visit once again.  I have missed her this year!  We are planning a trip for Spring and I cannot wait to see how little she has changed!  

I hope you have a dreamy weekend!  
We will be here working hard to be able to visit next Spring!

Another beautiful interior from Susan Ferrier







Bold choices make this interior truly beautiful.  Susan Ferrier never fails to impress.  The details are lush against a simple backdrop and I think it makes for some of the most elegant but livable rooms.  I simply love the lights over the island in that kitchen.  Note the bold splashes of that beautiful blue too!

This month's issue of Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles was full of beautiful images as usual take a peek.

The simplicity of this space is perfection.  Can you imagine - no television - no phone - just sleep and a warm fire?

Kelly Wearstler at Home









Her style is a little wild, but fun!  I love these images and the way they capture the smallest of details and the beautiful light in her home.

Grey Library..




Oh my goodness can you imagine the hours you could spend here, just reading and browsing..
I think there should be an extremely comfortable lounge some where just across from this to use as needed!

Day Dreaming...



I am day dreaming of a sweet little apartment in the heart of Paris just like this one.  Instead of being here enjoying baguettes, cheese and wine, we are taking pictures for our upcoming One Kings Lane sale today.  It is amazing how much work goes into a sale.  Everyone at OKL is really great and a real joy to work with which is so nice to see in a growing company like theirs.

Wishing you a wonderful day filled with dreams like this little beauty.. I suppose we have to work hard to get to a place like this one, right?

this week I am loving..





It is funny there are some weeks when inspiration eludes me and then there are some where it is everywhere and I cannot keep it straight!  I am absolutely loving everything here!  I love vintage chairs and their time worn look, the lovely layers of grey from Atelier de Campagne, and Lauren at Pure Style Home's new textile line.  
Do you ever find too much inspiration?  I like to take mine and store it away for a day when I am feeling a little out of sorts and use it to get me back on track!
