Summertime is in full swing and that means vacation, relaxing and most of all, reading ! In our house, it’s always activity #1 whenever there’s time off to be had, so today I found myself circling what would make a perfect reading spot (outside of a lounge chair by the pool of course), with this incredible chair-and-a-half from an old Anthropologie collection. They used to have the dopest seating options, very antique inspired, all velvet-clad in fabulous colors, it was my favourite 🤩 I happened upon this relic by total chance from a seller on Chairish and it made me all mushy for the old days so with it in mind, I rounded-up some other delicious items to make you want to grab a good book and disconnect.
We’ve got a lot of warm wood accents : from sexy burl decorative boxes, to wood and marble mix on the bookends and the faux tortoise shell made of resin on the candle holders. Plus, a dose of fun pink, a maybe inspiration piece of art, but mostly not lol, and adorable books ! Now you’re all set and somebody go and grab that amazing chair before it’s gone, my god wish that I could …. !!
Happy Monday everyone ! I’ve been running around a lot these past two months, but this week is the start (finally!) of a good ol’ “stay at home” period where I get to recharge, enjoy an almost empty Paris – with bearable temperatures ! – get creative, and load up on inspiration. I just combed through exhibits for the month so I can discover some cool new artists and places, and I’m also starting to prep some mayyybe big décor changes to my apartment. I know I keep teasing it and you hate me but things are in motion and I’m hoping to share a vision for it very soon ! I tend to wing a lot of it since I’m basically a child with no self control, so it’s hard to stop and plan and photograph… But I shall try, for the good of the blog !
In terms of design inspiration there is one person that just shines for me and I could easily call him the designer of the year with this space. I look at it at least once a week, if not more, and while this is the only photos we have, Greg himself is teasing us on his instagram with more, since it’ll be featured prominently in his new book. As you can imagine I would sell my left arm for this book right now, but sadly I’ll have to wait for october… and I guess keep my arm.
So this amazing space has been on my mind constantly and I thought it was high time I shared in case any of you missed it ! It’s located in Melbourne, of course, because design in Australia is the bomb, and it’s a quaint, teeny-tiny 4000 sq. ft. penthouse apartment. So new life goal : rob a bank, move to Australia, steal this apartment. You in ? Actual plan TBD (I’m open to suggestions).
At the time, this photo broke my jaw.
All. Of. The. Lighting !
This bathroom. No words.
Ok that was pretty useless commentary but ! this is literally what goes through my brain every time I look at this design, it’s so utterly fabulous I can’t even deal with it. The restrained palette of blush and burgundy is so delicious, every single light choice is drop dead gorgeous and just, everything : the scale, the gold, the over-the-top but highly sophisticated look of it all. I’ve rarely been this in love with a whole project. If I was a guest and didn’t know what I was about to step into, can you imagine ? Who knows, I might break down and ugly cry on the floor right there in the foyer, or just straight up slap the host from shock ! It’s too much ! Let’s be grateful for their safety that we’re nowhere near that happening 😝
Hope you loved it as much as I did ! And I’d love to feature more of Greg’s fabulous work in the future so I may do a round-up of his beautiful projects ! In the meantime, check out his Instagram of course and have a great week !
Oooooh yes… I made it ! The weather tried to take me down early this week, but it did. not. work ! Well, that’s not entirely true, it was horrible and I spent a lot of time with ice cubes on my head BUT … I’m still here ! (And thankfully we have rain now and that’s my happy place so balance restored)
I was very inspired by the overall playfulness and quirkiness of the art I saw recently (and mentioned in my last post here) so I think this week’s finds reflect that. This statue is my new favorite obviously, along with this amazing melted rug I’ve had my eye on for a while and who could forget the rabbit seat ! These are deceptively comfortable and I’m kind of crushing on them right now. That is all ! Go forth, have a fabulous weekend and be bold like these awesome pieces ! 😎
