Steven Gambrel then..

 

I came across these pictures and fell in love, I know I have seen them before but it was fun to see them all together and check the little story behind them.  A temporary home is a great place to be a little creative and have some fun.  I love the eclectic combination with color really tying it all together.

Fresh air..

 

I think it is about time we opened up the doors and windows to let the fresh air in.  I am so in need of warmer days, we have had some beautiful teases here in California but I need a little more!  

Things here have been so busy and so amazing I cannot wait to share all of the new pieces we have online and some great upcoming giveaways here on the blog!  It is going to be a great couple of weeks as we ease into Spring, I do hope you will join us for everything!

By Invitation Only: Daydreamer

 

There is no need to trade places and I am sure it is no mystery what I would like to do if I could do anything.  Live in Paris, own a beautiful apartment in Paris while I am still young enough to really enjoy it!  I love the idea of a slightly worn exterior with a beautiful interior awaiting a special touch.

 

 

Beautiful vintage wood floors and molding everywhere!

 

A sweet little Vespa to run around on...

 

I would shop all day at the fleas to furnish it with the most fun and beautiful pieces!

 

I would spend my evenings in beautiful gowns just lounging around and relaxing with friends and family, almost no need to go out!

Travel design: The NoMad Hotel

I ran across these pictures here and was reminded that I had read an article on the design style of this hotel a little while back.  I cannot remember where I read it but the gorgeous photos are just another great story in the book of the great collaborators that created the Ace hotels.  On my next trip to New York I am going to have to see if I can stay at the NoMad.  I love the down to earth styling that makes you feel like you are in an apartment rather than a hotel room and that is my favorite type of accommodation! Take a look at the detailing on those leather headboards just beautiful.

 "The NoMad Hotel is housed in a turn of the century Beaux-Arts building that has been fully restored to its original grandeur with interiors by French designer Jacques Garcia. The hotel is intended as a fresh take on the classic grand hotels of Europe with a distinct New York sensibility. The design of the hotel was inspired by the Parisian flat of Garcia’s youth. The 168 rooms are residential in feel and decorated in his classic, timeless style. Each room is appointed with hand-selected, richly textured custom-designed furnishings and original artwork. The soaring ceilings throughout the public spaces provide a fine gathering place to enjoy dining, drinking and socializing."

 

"....a Parisian inspired lifestyle hotel that speaks to the building's architectural heritage. The NoMad Hotel accommodates 168 guestrooms with double bay historic windows and views of the Empire State and Flatiron Buildings. The property features a high-ceilinged lobby with original detail and a glass roof atrium for all day dining. The interiors of the hotel are being designed by internationally acclaimed interior designer Jacques Garcia."

Day Dreaming...

I am day dreaming of a sweet little apartment in the heart of Paris just like this one.  Instead of being here enjoying baguettes, cheese and wine, we are taking pictures for our upcoming One Kings Lane sale today.  It is amazing how much work goes into a sale.  Everyone at OKL is really great and a real joy to work with which is so nice to see in a growing company like theirs.

Wishing you a wonderful day filled with dreams like this little beauty.. I suppose we have to work hard to get to a place like this one, right?
