Quartzite
Posted: April 30, 2012 Filed under: Accessories for the Home, Interior Decorating, Interior Design, Interiors | Tags: kitchen design, Luce di Luna quartzite, quartzite bianca 11 Comments »I absolutely love a quartzite countertop… Its a great (though expensive) alternative to granite or marble. My favorite thing about quartzite is the soft veining and pale color composition. It’s perfect for countertops, fireplace mantels, bathrooms or tiles, but I love the way it looks in the kitchen.

Fashion Friday: The Long Skirt
Posted: April 27, 2012 Filed under: Fashion | Tags: summer 2012 fashion 5 Comments »I absolutely love all these long flowy skirts that are on the market right now. They look adorable with a belt, a blazer or a tailored blouse, but they also look great worn casually with a tee-shirt. They are perfect for any occasion!

Gray Kitchens
Posted: April 26, 2012 Filed under: Interior Decorating, Interior Design, Interiors | Tags: gray and white kitchen 7 Comments »As much as I love a colorful home, my heart really belongs to the neutral color palette. Subdued shades of gray are simple, clean and completely timeless. There is also something really calming about this hue. My favorite place for a coat of gray paint is in the kitchen. Especially when paired a dark hardwood floor, white walls and a white granite.

Rose Uniacke: UK Design
Posted: April 24, 2012 Filed under: Architecture, Art, Interior Decorating, Interior Design, Interiors 2 Comments »I love this London home designed by Rose Uniacke. Rose is a UK interior designer who specializes in 18th to mid 20th century antiques. I am dying over all the lovely feminine touches in each room.
I love everything about this little sitting nook – this window above the fireplace, the panels on either side and that incredible chandelier!
Gorgeous molding, trimwork, palladian windows…
This is such a pretty and serene piece of artwork. It’s the perfect size and color palette for this room! Although, I would probably ditch the table-cloth…

Graphic Designs
Posted: April 23, 2012 Filed under: Accessories for the Home, Interior Decorating, Interior Design, Interiors | Tags: Graphic print wallpaper, Meredith Heron, Phillip Jefferies 6 Comments »I love the way a simple graphic pattern looks on one statement piece of furniture in a neutral room. These upholstered chairs pack a major punch in this otherwise understated living room.
I adore this wallpapered kitchen I spotted in Architectural Digest. Phillip Jefferies is one of my favorite wallpaper designers and I think this Moroccan style paper looks so chic paired with simple decor.
Though I usually prefer a simpler interior design, I do love the layering of different prints in this room from designer Meredith Heron’s home.
Which style do you prefer? Do you like just one graphic print per room or Meredith Heron’s print on print?

L’wren Scott’s Parisian Perch
Posted: April 21, 2012 Filed under: Architecture, Art, Fashion, Interior Decorating, Interior Design, Interiors | Tags: l'wren scott, mick jagger, Parisian apartment interior design 2 Comments »Last week, I spotted the ultra chic Parisian retreat of L’Wren Scott and Mick Jagger in Vogue and I still cannot get it out of my mind. Despite seeing it on just about every blog from here to Paris since then, I decided I love it enough to share it with all of you. L’wren’s design is flawlessly stylish and every square inch is absolutely perfect. My favorite part of this home is their collection of art work, especially the dots and that great portrait of Mick.
So, in case you missed it last week, this apartment is truly a must-see!

Curb Appeal
Posted: April 19, 2012 Filed under: Accessories for the Home, Architecture | Tags: Door knocker, Front door design 8 Comments »Sorry for the late post today. I hit “publish” as I ran out the door this morning, only to realize six hours later that nothing was in fact published! Anyway, with Spring in the air, many people are out and about manicuring their lawns and ensuring that their landscaping looks perfect. I noticed that many front doors seem to just blend in with a home, so I always love spotting an exceptional one! I have never had a front door of my own, but when I do, I plan to make mine something special….complete with high gloss paint, a vintage knocker and flower filled planters.
I love beautiful door knockers – especially these vintage styles from Cape Cod Weathervane Company!
One day I will definitely get a monogrammed doormat. I love these from Pottery Barn
And I think planters by a front door are a must! South of Market, Lolldesigns, Christies)

Bird Motif
Posted: April 18, 2012 Filed under: Accessories for the Home, Interior Decorating, Interior Design, Interiors | Tags: Bird Motif Interior Design, de Gournay, Peacocks 4 Comments »Both in nature and in interior design, my mom has always loved birds. I think this exposure throughout my life has given me an appreciation for the bird motif that is impossible to shake. Successfully bringing the outside world inside is one of the most sought after effects an interior designer can achieve. Using a bird motif is one easy way to encourage elements of nature into your home. If you aren’t quite ready for a full-on mural of birds, then adding little statues or throw pillows are just as lovely!
