ajara foyer table (cost plus) + harlow mirror (decorati)

sometimes mixing things up works well, like this traditional wood entry table with a more modern mirror. it can add more interest in a space.

nelson swag leg desk + eames aluminum management chair

(furniture by DWR.)

this nelson swag leg table is one of my favorite furniture pieces. i love the simplicity of it and the way the legs seems to flow so well. and what makes it even more of a special piece is the touch of colors that's added on the hutch of the desk.

the eames aluminum management chair, i'd select the white one, but they didn't have a photo of it. it's a great looking "office" chair. it's not the "typical" office chairs you'd normally see. (although i've been seeing them slightly more than usual).

happy weekend???

just been a sad week...hopefully it'll get better (*sigh*)...

max azria's home in los angeles

BCBG is one of my favorite brands. they just have the cutest clothes. when i saw that max azria's (designer behind the label BCBC, Max Azria and Herve Ledger) i was excited to read the article in harpers bazaar and just had to post their home that was featured in the magazine.


a photo of him and his wife with the 6 children. check out that ceiling. that's just extravagant and fabulous!


max's office at their home. is that a fruit sculpture of some sort? the white thing on the right next to the couch? interesting.


built in banquette.




pair of bergeres. when ever i see these chairs it reminds me of kelly wearstler.








a chandelier cascading into the wood table.






dinning room that's illuminated by a Tord Boontje for Swarovski Crystal Palace chandelier. i want that chandelier!

hollywood glamour in missouri

this home was featured in metropolitan home as one of the finalist winners. Anu Suebsawangkul was placed in 4th place for the swankiest place small space.

the 408 sq. ft. studio apartment in Clayton, Missouri has a lot of style for such a small space. i love the monochromatic color that's used throughout the space. by having white as the primary color in the space, makes this studio feel bigger than it really is. not only did she design the space well, but she was also a smart shopper by not breaking the bank. and she's pretty crafty herself since some of the stuff was a DIY project.

this a great hollywood regency style that's chic, elegant and glamorous.






love the wallpaper in the bathroom. i want that!!






that's a great canopy for the bed. and she did that herself!


a few pops of red adds some more drama to the space.


this just adds a lot more glamour to the room.
