When I saw this moodboard by The City Sage inspired by that Chanel ad in the corner, I couldnt stop thinking about mint green. And how it will look really good with black, and gold, and wood, and white, and especially one red flower. I think I need to have some of this in my house for spring.
I am a big fan of hanging up your children’s art, since when I was a kid my mom wouldnt hang mine. I think it builds confidence to see your masterpieces on a wall. I also think that when framed or grouped together, they actually look cool. BTW, I am loving the lucite easel or plate stand that I found at Sam Flax. I bought a few to use as an easels, but I think its cool to display art that way.
From Shopbop. I was shopping “The looks” and found this stuff: First:
Hot pink. My new favorite blog. I dont really know what the deal is here, like who she is, who is taking those pictures etc… All I know is that a gorgeous Parisian girl posts very romantic pictures of her tres chic outfits everyday. And she owns a million pairs of Chloe shoes, and vintage clothes. And she is awesome. Read it everyday.
My sister just told me to google Yarn Bombing. Have any of you heard of this? Its basically the knit version of graffiti. Very cool stuff. Read about it on the Yarn Bombing blog. Remember the good old days when you could go to the Domino website and browse their thousands of photos by room, color, keyword or anything you could imagine? Well, those days are no more, BUT I figured out how to add photo galleries to my blog. So now you can come look at all of my favorite inspiration photos on one page, not spread out over blog posts. So far, I have Bedrooms, Living Rooms and Dining Rooms set up. But only about 5% of my photos are added. I plan on adding more as well as labeling them, eventually. This is a HUGE project, but hopefully, if I don’t get arrested, it will be awesome! On one hand I think it is rather stupid to put a ten thousand dollar rug under the table where people eat (and spill). On the other hand, it defines the area, adds coziness and lessens the echoey feel of hard wood. My lucite dining room chairs are so heavy and their bottoms are getting all scratched up on the wood floor, so I am considering putting a rug under them.
This last photo is a room designed by Jamie Drake for The Manhattan House model apartments, where the 2008 Kips Bay Showhouse was held. See that gorgeous piece of art in the background? That is by Irene Mamiye, a photographer whose large scale abstract photos are gorgeous, and attracting the attention of a lot of interior designers. Something about them makes them the kind of art that you actually want to have in your home. They look good in rooms, not just in galleries.
Sleek and modern with no rug, and I think that is grasscloth in the background. It’s the work of one my favorite designers Sara Story.
Kelly Wearstler’s dining room. I have the urge to just smash all that crap on the floor, which is bare. I LOVE those chairs though. What do you think: Yes or no? This post was inspired by the photoshoot I saw on the blog The Cherry Blossom Girl, plus obviously, the imminent release of Tim Burton’s new version of the movie. |
