Subdued Elegance

Now that Margaret Russel is the editor-in-chief of Architectural Digest, looks like I'll be subscribing once again!  This Napa Valley home from the latest A.D. issue looks like a nice place to be right about now.  I love the cream and white tones with the contrast of dark finishes and very little colour...so soothing.   

Colour & Pattern

I normally don't go for anything with this much colour, but it's going to be hot this year.  This work by the colour queen, Tricia Guild really makes me want to experiment with brights and patterns more!

Stephen Sills and Apthorp

Some say the Apthorp building, designed by Clinton & Russell between 1906 and 1908 is the most beautiful residential building in NYC.  Just recently, the designer known for classic interiors, Stephen Sills was selected as the creative director for this NYC landmark.  I have no doubt that this Upper West Side gem will in fact be the most beautiful complex in the city after Sills waves his magic wand over it!  Stephen's work below is testament to this. 

Scout

I think these tight vignette shots from Scout Design are fun.  Nicki Clendening and Callie Jenschke work their magic by mixing modern and traditional together which results in quirky, interesting and eclectic atmospheres. They really do have the knack for "scouting" out vintage finds!

A Fashionable Apartment

Former Brooks Brothers director, now interior designer, Jarlath Mellett designs one fashionable apartment in the heart of SoHo, NYC.  From the pages of the new Lonny Mag issue.

Another Fabulous NY Apartment

I love scouring through my design magazines for inspiration, especially Elle Decor Italia.  The latest issue is full of great design inspiration and homes that make me salivate.  A design feast!!  This home was designed by architect, James Bartholomew and interior designer Christian Damerow.  I couldn't find any images of the home on line, so I had to photograph the pages for you.  Sorry if they are not very clear.  Enjoy!!
