In true Thad Hayes style, elegant yet full of comfort.

Beautiful entry. Love these thin long pavers.

These chairs look so comfortable!

Ethereal sheers and monochromatic color palate paired with light and medium woods. Apparently, Thad Hayes got his color inspiration from sycamore bark…love it.

I am on a plane today starting a long trip, first stop being London and then many more stops to update you with later. So, I leave you with a beautiful project by a fav of mine, Shelton, Mindel & Associates, project 3502.

Poul Henningsen Chandeliers and Jean Prouve barstools in the background.

This coffered ceiling…oh my! Swoon! And what beautiful wainscoting.

Piet Hein barstools. Love these! Love the simplicity of this simple ceiling mounted fixture. Oh, and the paneled wood cabinetry! Sexy and classic!

Floor to ceiling walnut wood walls mirrored by white boiserie walls…um yes, please!

Arne Jacobsen Pot Chairs.

Yrjö Kukkapuro lounge chairs…totally futuristic and really pop in the office.

Stunning and rare Pierre Chapo Stools and dining table.

Just perfect mix of modern and vintage. Love the soft curves of the Bloomy armchairs by Patricia Urquiola for Moroso paired with the Jean Prouvé coffee table. Photographs are by Vik Muniz and the floor lamps are 1967 designs by Angelo Mangiarotti.

A Jean Prouvé bench adds warmth to this all white kitchen.

Hans J. Wegner lounge chair. A gouache by Sol LeWitt hangs above a headboard upholstered in wool. The lamps are by Ross Lovegrove, and the tactile vintage bedspread is by Paco Rabanne.

Have you ever wondered how Ellen + Portia de Rossi live? I have! Do you like it?  It’s an interesting mix of some contemporary lines, vintage, rustic and traditional.

I think I might hang out here for the rest of the day!

It’s monday so let’s start our week off with a bit of perfect from genius Christian Liaigre.

Unbelievably gorgeous and sumptuous mix of materials with metal, parchment, and velvet.

Christian Liaigre is the king of creating warm contemporary interiors using a mix of textural intriguing materials like metal, natural woods, luscious velvets, lacquers and stone. Mmmmmm.

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!

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.
