What is up with this month’s Architectural Digest?….It’s really good! My fav spread is the Steven Volpe Bay area home. It’s filled with exquisite artful pieces and intriguing color palates.

This is so incredibly beautiful with the velvety chocolate browns, the unexpected pops of red lacquer and the minimal graphic rug. The 1940s French chairs are by Marc du Plantier, a black marble mantel by Axel Vervoordt. The fab twin floor lamps are Gino Sarfatti. Pool table by Blatt Billiards.

This is so incredible. The rustic distressed wood floors, the dark dramatic drapes anchored on the Zaha Hadid Dune table. Chandelier by Jeff Zimmerman, an impossibly great artist.

BDDW stools! Bleached walnut wood, lacquer cabinets, La Cornue range.

Vintage pendant lamps from Wyeth. Love this double window treatment with the warm woven shades.

Gorgeous color palate, soft and calm with a hint of femininity.

Fire screen by Christophe Côme.  Love the slight textural interest on the sofa pillows. Cocktail table by Juan Garrido.

I am dying for these sconces…more sculpture than light. By Fontana Arte. MEM dornbracht faucets.

The chandelier is by Emmanuel Babled from Nilufar.

It’s hump day! Something special for you today from Workshop for Architecture.

My perfect mix of materials, calacatta marble, light white oak, and a little bit of dark woods.

Great details here. TV inset and flush with the wall.

Looks like an Alexander Calder mobile.

Oh oh oh! Just beautiful! Serge Mouille table lamps, Bddw cabinets.

Linear light with a hidden source.

Some more Serge Mouille. I also see the top of a walnut cherner armchair. Love the dark grey drapes with the mix of woods and black lighting.

This is an incredible piece of architecture. It’s like a piece of art, almost too beautiful/minimal to live in. Located in Montecito CA, it is a stunning ode to Mies Van der Rohe.

Floating platform steps up to the entrance. Amazing book-matched marble!!

Lots of glass and what a bathroom!

I LOVE this shot!

Let’s begin our week with the inspirational Yabu Pushelberg apartment in New York.

These William Katavolos T chairs are a major favorite.

A perfect little corner with a Nanna Ditzel lounge chair and artfully arranged frames.

Simple and light.

A peek into the bedroom.

I am going crazy for this polished brass pendant lamp by Paavo Tynell! It is spectacular against the wood wall.

Have a great day everyone!

The lovely David John of YHBHS sent me this amazing project that I went gaga for. Do you think the owner’s would mind if I moved in?

Another Jean Prouve chair!

It has been a long week and I think we all deserve a special weekend…so, let’s start early and go to La Reserve Paris!

A beautiful mix of clean lines, subtle color and organic accessories. I seem to be gravitating towards blue sofas lately.

La Reserve is a collection of 10 apartments. I see lot’s of Maxalto, B&B Italia, Flexform, Christian Liaigre and Kevin Reilly. Definitely a sophisticated warm yet contemporary interiors.

I’m packing my bags!

Great mix of warm, organic, modern and vintage.

you are the best. Vincent van Duysen.

Such great light in here. I also love this natural earthy color palate.

Beautiful white oak cabinetry.

An upholstered bed wall is one of my favorite ways to make a bedroom special.

I am not ready for you…can you go away and come back again? For now, a beautifully executed model apartment at 41 Bond Street in Manhattan designed by Dufner Heighes.

Edward Wormley’s slipper chairs.

Gorgeous lighting.

Lindsey Adelman chandelier hangs above a Tyler Hays table and seating in the dining area. An artistic mix of the rustic/primitive with the more refined. I love the rustic wood on the island face.
