Pied-à-terre anyone? Adorable Parisian abodes...

This company finds apartments in Paris and lovingly restores them to their state of original charm...





Love that unusual lamp and the chair!

Respect for the original architectural details is given

soooooooo pretty






All of the floors are to die for

What do you think - would you like a little Pied-à-terre?

A charming country home with style north of Copenhagen

One place we didn't visit on my travels, but is still very much on my travel wish list, is Copenhagen. I'm sure the architecture and shops would be right up my alley. Has anyone been to Copenhagen? What did you think?

The natural light in this home is great - also the architectural details like the radiator cover and top window pane.




I'm a sucker for detail shots :)




The look of all those books in the bedroom is really nice - but I'd be afraid I'd stay up too late each night reading.









This little spot in the yard is wonderfully wabi sabi no?

What do you think of this home? Close to your style?

Gorgeous nature-inspired decor - vases, illuminaries, tealights, etc.

My trip to Boston in February left me with tons of inspiration and business cards from the plethora of adorable shops and boutiques. One of those shops was E.R. Butler & Co.; known for it's fine architectural details, but what made my jaw drop was the beautiful porcelain treasures and jewelry. Here are a few of my favs. -

The Ted Muehling pieces were simply amazing - the candlesticks, and the exceptionally delicate porcelain vases and candle holders. I'm especially drawn to objects with elements taken from nature - so the "coral" luminaries and tulip tea light especially.








They also have a lot of unique, and stunning jewelry like these cuffs by Darcy Miro.




The Boston showroom.

E.R. Butler also has showrooms in NYC and Florence. See the site for details.
I want to thank Nina, at E.R. Butler, who was super helpful and enthusiastic to answer questions during my visit. It's always great to meet someone passionate about what they do!

A glamorous, exotic retreat

I'm going to Morocco in January, and I couldn't be more excited. I've wanted to go ever since the first time I ate at a Moroccan restaurant in NYC. I saw a beautiful ad for this hotel in Marrakech, called "La Mamounia" in House Beautiful, and I decided to see if there were more pics online. Granted, I have a hostel budget, but I can dream!




mmm...Moroccan food....



I can't wait to see the architecture!




Beautiful, no?

A light-filled portfolio: Swedish interior stylist Sasa Antic

I have a great find for you this afternoon! It's gloomy outside over the Hudson River, but boy is it bright and beautiful in these photos - and the architectural details in some of these homes are to die for!


Adorable and practical


love this...





I'm liking the stacked magazine look - and I might have to refer to it as my collection has multiplied. I'd just stick a plush shag rug there to lay on while browsing through them.

Look! This person's DVDs are out in the open *gasp*
