Lately I’ve been in a minimalist mood and drawn to simple black and white interiors. Although simple, these spaces are chic, sophisticated and timeless. Here are a few striking interior designs in this classic color combo…

The holidays will be here before you know it, so its not too early to prep. This elegant myrtle wreath (perfect for chair backs at the holiday dinner table) is currently on sale with loads of other holiday decor and gifts at One Kings Lane!

Have a great weekend!

Book Review: Beyond Chic

October 29, 2013 · Comments { 0 }

Recently I was sent a copy of another fantastic decor book that was recently released. Vendome Press’ Beyond Chic: Fashion Designers at Home by Ivan Terestchenko (author & photographer) takes us on private home tours of some of the most iconic people in fashion including Giorgio Armani, Yves Saint Laurent, Manolo Blahnik, Azzedine Alaïa, and yes, Coco Chanel.

What struck me most about these residences was the drastic range of styles – from minimal to wildly exotic, monochromatic to fearlessly vibrant, organized to utterly chaotic. In all cases and what I love the most about the book is how each interior reflects the personal style, muses and treasures of these legendary designers. Personally I gravitated to lovely homes of Kevin Carrigan (of Calvin Klein), Reed Krakoff (of Coach) and Coco Chanel (no need to clarify!).

Here’s a peek into some of the gorgeous images…

This adorable gender neutral, modern nursery was featured on The Handmade Home via Pinterest. The white walls, clean-lined crib (very affordable!) and whimsical wallpapered ceiling give the room it’s modern feel. Traditional element, such as the tufted glider chair (from Target!), woven rug and changing table balance the look. I love it, don’t you?

Book Review :: Suzanne Tucker Interiors – The Romance of Design

September 30, 2013 · Comments { 0 }

San Francisco’s award winning interior designer, Suzanne Tucker co-founder of Tucker & Marks Design is hailed for developing elegant, enchanting and always perfectly balanced spaces. Her timeless designs are inviting and draw us in with layered art and antiques transitioning between classic and contemporary, casual and formal.

Following the huge success of her first book, Rooms to Remember, I was thrilled to learn of Suzanne’s newest publication to be released October 15th. Suzanne Tucker Interiors: The Romance of Design by Monacelli Press is truly inspiring. Suzanne offers readers a view into her design process and intimate glimpses into her clients’ luxurious homes (including Tucker’s own home). With over 280 stunning images, selecting ones to share with you was the hardest part of of this review, however here are a few of my favorites:
