Let's Say Grace!

For those of you who haven't seen The September Issue, you must! It's surprising in unusual ways and really shows the amazing level of talent of the artists involved. I fell in love with the creative director Grace Coddington and I'm sure you will too! I also fell in love with this editorial by Grace. I have been trying to get excited about fall, you know switch wardrobes and stuff, but this weather here is so confusing. I absolutely love the colors here and think I might be able to work with these! I have been inspired, thanks again Grace! That gold is scrumptuous mixed with my favorite color...blue... oh and green!


I found these over at the fabulous blog Moodboard! There are even more photos, so check them out!

Two of a kind!

Here's a fine example of fashion and interiors speaking the same language!

This not so innocent pair may try to fool you with a play on silhouettes and a mix of classic with countryside.

The Fall Collection by Steven Alan is once again a daring approach of unique fits, bold colors, and uncompromising attention to detail. Loving the RED!!!!

Kettner's by Studiollse @ Design Milk

Oooohhh, some exciting news! I'm so happy to announce that I will be contributing to Design Milk with weekly Interior Design posts! I am continuously inspired by Design-Milk and and am so excited to be part of the team. I love collaboration with other artists working with any medium and I think Design Milk does such a great job of showcasing such a range of talent! Thank you so much Jaime for giving me this opportunity and for all the continuous inspiration!

My first post was about the renovation of Kettner's Restaurant by StudioIlse, my favorite! These dramatic interiors come to life and in this case morphed into the leading ladies on these "stages"! Check out the entire post here.

FASHION AND DESIGN TELL THE STORY

Last year I fell in love with the photography and fashion from fashion designer Bea Szenfeld and her fashion team. The colors and compositions create such a powerful mood while mainting that calmness and refined boldness that is so hard to achieve. My client's sense of style is always a huge inspiration for their interiors. If I was to design an interior for Bea Szenfeld's Autumn Winter 08/09 fashion line it would look like these gorgeous interiors from Studio Isle taken by photographer Lisa Cohen. I'm going to let the pictures tell the rest of the story and let them take you on an adventure of your own.


I've been obsessed with this brass pendant light (model Bumling, by Anders Pehrson for Atelje Lyktan of Sweden). I discovered it at the Floor-Model warehouse as I was shopping for another project in Spring of 2008. David pulled it off the top shelf of the warehouse for me and I fell in love. I didn't ever end up using it, but it looks absolutely gorgeous in this kitchen...especially with the brass hardware!
