The Dream Home

I've gotten a bit crazy lately about Polyvore, as you may have noticed and today I delved into creating home decor scenarios!  Huzzah! 

Here's what I've come up with so far...

THE ENTRY WAY

Entryway


Here I've used wallpaper, a female sculpture and a brass knot sculpture all designed by Kelly Wearstler, a dish from Design Within Reach, vintage lamp from 1st Dibs, an antique mirror and the Jonathan Adler Bond desk, and two Knoll Platnner stools.

THE LIVING ROOM

The Fab Life


For the living room I've chosen subtle dove gray paint, a Design Within Reach sofa with two pink silk flamestitch pillows, an Eames lounger, a gold Kartell Bourgie lamp  and two Saarinen tulip, marble-topped side tables also from DWR, Kelly Wearstler brass kaleidoscopes, two fabulous vintage pink and brass chairs from 1st Dibs, the Meurice chandelier, Nixon marble-topped cocktail table, and the Bond console all from Jonathan Adler, and an exquisite painting done by artist, Michele Armas.

THE DINING ROOM

The Dining Room



Finally, in the dining room we've got a vintage sputnik chandelier, a painting by James Nares, Louis Kartell Ghost chairs, and two Knoll Platner chairs, the Bond dining table from Jonathan Adler, DVF gold silverware, Kelly Wearstler for Pickard china, and Marc Blackwell "Southern Hemisphere" glassware from Barney's.
The centerpieces are stolen from the Fall 2012 RTW Jil Sander show and are genius bouquets positioned in clear perspex boxes....I think we may be seeing that trend in the event florals of some of the most fashionable hostesses.
So there you have it!  Won't you stop by my imaginary home for a drink sometime?

ps- If you can't tell I'm completely obsessed with the Jonathan Adler Bond Collection.  It's burled wood and lucite combo make me positively giddy with furniture lust!

High Gloss

I'm moving this weekend and I'm so wishing that I could paint my new abode.  Is there anything in this world worse than dowdy BEIGE walls? I think not! Pure white would be sublime but sandy-beige?  So very boring, so very unoriginal!  Alas, unlike my current and previous homes this one comes with a no-painting rule.  I will have to make due with creamy surrounds for the time being, but I can certainly still lust over these high-gloss offerings.  There's something so rich and modern about the sleek reflectivity of a high-gloss paint.  I've only ever painted in matte or at the most eggshell, but these lacquered rooms have me day-dreaming of shinier digs...
