Susan Vecsey's Landscapes

I usually don't cover fine art, but I couldn't resist sharing images of New York based artist Susan Vecsey's breathtaking landscapes.  A former banker turned painter, Vecsey's work is currently on view through May 4 at the Spanierman Gallery in East Hampton.  If you love art that transports you to a peaceful place you must check out her website.   She's bringing modernity to landscape painting. 

Marimekko Print & Pattern

Love this graphic burst from Marimekko.

Dries Van Noten Paris Salon

When I get a second I will try to post more images of this space!  I haven't had a chance to download my camera yet.   The Dries Van Noten boutique in Paris along the Seine is a sight to see for all design and decor addicts!   It's pure sensory overload and a true shopping experience. There's a masterful, painterly touch in the design that is fearless.  The creation of a true interior buff.  Lots of pastels, shots of red, dark ebony, kilims mixed with mod metal coffee tables, great antiques...

Paris Heaven

My sister and I recently spent several amazing days together in Paris. This was our first solo trip together and it was a blast! I hadn't been in four years and was really blown away by all the jewel box design stores in St. Germain de Pres where we were staying.  No matter how small the space, no detail was left untouched. Very inspiring in so many ways and always a pleasure to see!   Of course one of the highlights was gorging on pastries at Laduree. Somehow we managed to make several stops throughout the week!  

Domestic Art

Assouline's Domestic Art is a great resource to inspire your creative juices!  I haven't been able to put it down.

Rooms for the Little Ones...

Today is my first day back at work! Since the birth of my son I've become obsessed with kids' bedrooms.....the colors, the fantasy. You really can go in a million design directions to create a space that allows them to dream, be creative and have lots of fun.  I seem to be drawn most to spaces with white walls with pops of color. Above are some favorite kids' rooms from Cookie.

Taking a Short Hiatus

I apologize for not being able to post more these past several months!  I think I was over zealous in thinking I could do all with a newborn! It's been a great adventure so far. I'll be back at work by February.  Please stay tuned.....Happy New Year! xoxoxoxo

Hippie Boarding House to Modern Home

Hope you're all well!   I've been super busy with my little one, but I had a couple minutes to read and came across the below space in the NYtimes.

Check out Casper and Lexie Mork-Ulnes beautiful home.  The renovation took five years (they took time out for the births of their adorable kids Finn and Lucia).  I love the mix of old and new and the freshness of it all.   

The glass doorway below keeps everything loft like and open.
