Rustic, Elegant Row House in Brooklyn

January 16, 2013 · Comments { 0 }

Recently Vogue featured the Brooklyn home of landscape designer and Vogue Contributing Editor, Miranda Brooks and her architect husband, Bastien Halard. Lead by Harlard, the rundown row house was completely renovated from head to toe in just six months. The interior design is American pastoral with rustic, yet elegant touches. And although new, the rooms are inviting and have a lived in feel I love. Speaking of love, it was the custom de Gournay wallcovering in the master bedroom and hand-painted/printed wallpapers in the girls’ rooms that had me looking twice at this home. (swoon)

Isn’t this a charming garden seat? Designed by Brooks of course!

To see more, visit Vogue.

Friday Find :: Monogrammed Gifts from Mark & Graham

November 9, 2012 · Comments { 0 }

Yesterday Williams Sonoma, Inc. launched it’s newest retail brand, Mark and Graham and you are going to love it. Specializing in “next-generation personalization” of products, Mark and Graham delivers a collection of custom monograms and a variety of fresh fonts, colors and formats (from embroidery to engraving).

We believe that a mark is more than a symbol; It’s an artful mingling of typography and design that turns a gift into a personal gesture. It can be bold and boisterous or subtle and refined. It can join families together or celebrate individuality. It can be an inside joke or honor the literal beauty of a name. When it comes to making your mark, we hope you think of us for unique typefaces and beautiful objects. – Mark and Graham

With the holidays coming up, Mark and Graham is a great shopping destination for you to create unique and deeply personal gifts… the kind your loved ones will cherish for years to come. Here are some of my picks…

Happy Friday!
