APARTMENT IN ROME




I just had to share this apartment with you.

When I read the caption " Rome wasn't built in a day: Neither was Achille Salvagni's Apartment" from the Interior Design Magazine, I just had to have a closer look.

Mismatching different styles from different era's is done beautifully in this apartment, but Salvagni himself is never quite satisfied with how things are in his own apartment and constantly has the urge to change things around ....

Cool room ...

fantastic high windows, an abundance of light, picture wall, lots of books and cool furniture ...


I love this room from fashion stylist Scott Newkirk's Brooklyn home, featured on the blog, An afternoon with ... and I was particularly attracted to his work entitled WALK:

Electric Blue + Hot Pink :: Guest Post

Good morning everyone!
As you all know I am on the beautiful Greek island of Kefalonia and what better way to kick off the week, than with a guest post highlighting the wonderful combination of electric blue and hot pink.
Enjoy and thank you Susi!

.......

Hi, I'm Susi and I write for the fabulous interior design site -†Design Shuffle. It's a social networking site for interior designers, architects, design professionals and enthusiasts who just love interior design. I am so fortunate to get to write about beautiful interior designs and interesting decorating ideas. Today, we're going to look at one of my favorite color combinations.

Inspired by the image below, we are loving interiors that feature electric blue paired with hot pink. Electric blue and hot pink decor is such a happy, fun combination that can be modern, sophisticated, or island inspired depending on the exact shades used and how they are employed. We've even included a simple temporary idea to bring this bold combination into your decor. Enjoy!

We love the white stucco walls with electric blue trim as a backdrop for the hot pink bougainvillea. Incredible inspiration for an interior.

Sheridan French via

Electric blue and pink are striking against a dramatic dark wall. A painted chest of drawers in hot pink might feel more feminine.

Hi Sugar Plum via

Electric blue walls and hot pink decorative accessories like pillows give this bedroom design a tropical resort feeling inspired by Calypso. Lots of white balances out the intense colors.

DecorPad via

Electric blue and hot pink in small doses can still create big impact. The blue glass chandelier is unexpected--and gorgeous.

Tick Tock via

Neutral gray walls with a hint of lavender offset the bold pink and blue of the furnishings and accessories in this sophisticated, feminine living room design.

Design Chat with Kim Lemmon via

Electric blue and hot pink are an unexpected combination for a dining room. Love the saturated wall color against the deep pink curtains.

The Enchanted Home via

Perhaps more cobalt than electric, the deep blues in this living room are fantastic against the intense pink of the art and pillows. Sophisticated, yet playful.

Lizetís Mudhut via

Something as simple as a cobalt vase filled with hot pink blooms from your garden or farmerís market can create this look in any room in your home.

Outdoor rooms ...

Scanned from Elle Docoration August 2011




I leave you this Friday with two inspirational outdoor rooms to gaze at ...

Room 1: Belonging to Consuelo Castiglioni (designer from cult fashion label Marni) ... perfect for lounging around with friends (and what about that chandelier!) This outdoor room is found on the Spanish island of Formentera ... described as Ibiza's bohemian little sister. The cushions were designed for the house by the homeowner ... reminiscent of Marni's punchy, monochromatic prints

Room 2: Anyone for a dip? Can this pool be any more welcoming?

Have a perfectly wonderful weekend

... outdoors (if you can)

I am off tomorrow for two weeks to the Greek islands.
I will try and post while there ... look out for a guest post on Monday!

Interior Inspiration ... terracotta + pink


How wonderful is the graphic shadow play from the concrete beams of this partially covered outdoor space?






























































































I'm loving this Andalusian home designed by Mexican born architect
Francisco Cortina

... the beautiful colour saturated walls
(a significant departure from the white walls and tiled roofs, associated with this part of southern Spain),

... the clean lines and
... the way light plays with the building.

I can only imagine how vibrantly beautiful the colours are when the sun goes down!

Graphics ...

I love the way this beveled mirror sits in the centre of the trompe l'oeil fretwork in this dining room.
A wonderful display of graphics!

Windswept ...







{this image from here}


We all know the exquisite de Gournay wallpaper and fabrics sit at the very top end of the decoration market, so I thought I'd start the year off by telling you how much in love I am with the Windswept Blossom wallpaper in blossom colourway on tarnished silver gilded paper with pearlescent antique finish, from their Japanese collection ...

These images definitely don't do the wallpaper justice!

A little gold sprinkling...





Monday is just about over ... I know I'm a little late getting this post out today, but just had to share these lovely images.
Gold always seems to make everything just glimmer ... from matt gold gilded mirrors to glitter gold eyeshadow. I always love to add gold to my holiday decorating ...

Also, the happiest of birthday wishes to my darling baby girl who celebrated her birthday today ... you are one of my 3 golden stars.

Inspirational Friday ...



I love the soothing palette of soft greys and browns of this Manhattan loft that belongs to the London couple, Harriet Maxwell Macdonald and Andrew Corrie ... also the owners of the NY store Ochre.
The tufted lilac sofa (rescued from a grandmother's barn in Scotland) in the living room is just perfect ...

Happy Friday everyone :)
(Can't wait for the weekend as my husband and Daughter #2 get back from Australia)
