Modern Master

Amazing attention to detail, an eye for texture and contrast, and absolutely jaw-dropping exteriors...all from the portfolio of Dutch master, Piet Boon.

This one needs no commentary.

The beautiful Madrid home of uber talented decorator, Isabel Lopez-Quesada. There are some seriously amazing moments happening within those walls.

Verdant.

I was scrolling through my most recently saved inspiration images and I noticed a common thread...the color green.

Like this gorgeous malachite mirror. And can we just talk about this fabulous bathroom for a second. From this angle it looks just like my powder room configuration. Except, of course, my powder is nowhere near as fabulous. I haven't stopped thinking about this image since I spotted it the other day. If I could recreate this bold and beautiful space, I totally would! Could you go for something this wonderfully brazen in your home?

I'm also feelin' some intense love for that awesome piece of art. It's like Lilly Pulitzer gone abstract.

Um, hello lush and tropical. Nice to meet you.

Okay, if this isn't the most beautiful fabric you've ever seen, then you're lying. It's Judy Aldridge's new dining room and yes, I am green with envy.

And just when you thought it couldn't possibly get any better, shut your mouth, it does. Oh lord, just look at that sofa and faux malachite table.

Kermit said it ain't easy being green, but I say, what do frogs know.

Happy Monday, friends!

The Art of Home Making

I know we all remember Olatz Schnabel's gorgeous watery blue bedroom and the amazing mix of textiles and art adorning the space. Well, here's a peek at the rest of her beautiful, wonderfully eclectic SoHo home. It's romantic and old-fashioned and yet, still completely comfortable in a 21st century kind of way.

Photographer Fixation: Costas Picadas

Between a surly computer and general busy-ness, my posts have been pretty sparse. So here's an end-of-the-year offering to make up for the blogger blahs. I love all the boho, tropical goodness captured by photographer Costas Picadas. Who's up for a getaway? The only thing missing...a mojito and a warm ocean breeze.

Happy Thursday!
