One of my favorite homes that was published in the old House & Garden magazine was this one in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles that is owned by designer John Janik. The home was built in 1924 by the architect was A.F. Leicht who was prolific designer in the 1920’s in Los Angeles. […]
Powder rooms are a great place to go a little crazy because you are less likely to get bored by the design since you don’t have to look at it that often. It’s also fun to wow your guests since they are the ones most likely to use the powder room. One of the easiest […]
Although the weather is actually starting to warm up in New York, I still can’t stop thinking about my upcoming trip to LA! I’m very excited to get away and relax! But right now, I’m getting ready for a meeting so I’m leaving you with some pics of the California home of interior designer David […]
I’m a huge fan of fashion designer Phillip Lim‘s clothing and jewelry and have always wanted to see inside his home. The New York Times Magazine gave us a little peek this weekend along with a question and answer feature. I love the floor to ceiling shelves above but still dying to see more. I […]
I’ve always loved this photo of Celerie Kemble, probably because of that gorgeous painting above her head, and I’m happy to announce that she is one of the designers who have been chosen for the 2010 Kips Bay Decorator Show House! The entire list is below and full of fabulous designers and some new names! […]
I’ve been hearing from a lot of readers that they miss hearing about my design projects. I completely understand and will definitely be posting about them again but not until after they are finished. A top design magazine editor just warned me again last week not to post any photos if I hope to get […]
I’ve mentioned before that I’ve been going through my old tear sheets and one of the folders contained numerous magazine articles that featured Kate and Andy Spade’s apartment. In my opinion, it’s one of those timeless homes that will probably look as good in 30 years as it does after three which is a testament […]
You didn’t think I’d write a post about Tory Burch‘s personal style without following it up with her chic apartment did you? The 9,000 square foot, not so humble, abode was created by combining apartments in The Pierre Hotel by architect and designer Daniel Romualdez. It was only featured in Vogue but recently, bits and […]
I’m beginning to think it’s a prerequisite for chic fashion designers to own fabulous flats in Paris. Or maybe living in the city of lights is what inspires them to create swoon worthy outfits every season. Erin Fetherston, like Marc Jacobs, has an apartment that I would love to live in. But I guess I’ll […]
A lot of creative types who work with color and pattern all day say that they like to come home to more neutral and clean environment so I wonder if that is the reason behind why both Donna Karan and Michael Kors live in black and white apartments. There is something kind of soothing about […]
Another review of the Fall 2010 collection by Marc Jacobs called it nostalgic. Which immediately made me nostalgic for Marc’s first Paris apartment that was also designed by Paul Fortune. Since I have no idea where my tear sheets for it have been filed, I was happy to find that Moodboard had scanned and posted […]
Marc Jacobs is getting rave reviews for his collection show Monday night. Some said it was serene while others accused it of being safe but sometimes you just want to look pretty and nice and not over the top, kind of like Marc’s Paris apartment. I’d be serene too if I lived in this fabulous […]
Jason Wu has been the darling of the fashion world since Michelle Obama wore one of his gowns to the inaugural balls last January and rightly so since it’s wonderfully talented. That also makes him on of the favorites of Vogue so it’s not surprising that he recently had his new showroom designed by Anna […]
In honor of fashion week, I’m going to be posting some of my favorite fashionable interiors this week. Donna Karan is celebrating her 25th anniversary of her company and putting on her fashion show so I couldn’t think of a better fashion designer to start things off. Her 7,000 SF space on Central Park West […]
There was a time when I couldn’t look at pink without picturing Pepto-Bismol or my childhood bedroom but the color is starting to grow on me. I love it when it’s used in a more sophisticated way in an elegant setting such as the dining room by Suzanne Kasler above. It looks less bubble gum […]
The mood board that I posted yesterday with the Rothko painting reminded me of Allison Sarofim’s amazing West Village townhouse. I just came across the article about it that I ripped out of the February 2004 issue of Vogue so it was perfect timing. I was under the impression that David Netto had designed the […]
Someone recently told me that they asked a child, “what’s black and white and read all over?” and they had no idea. I guess kids don’t read the newspaper these days. For some reason, I thought about that story when I saw this black and white papered entry. Probably because I also can’t answer the […]
