Happy June 1st everyone!
We are looking forward to a great summer weekend ahead.
We thought we'd end the week with a beautiful minimalist home
We love a home infused with color and pattern, but sometimes our
daydreams are filled with simple greys, whites and blacks.
Michael Tavano designed the outdoor terrace and entry court at the Elle Decor Modern Life Concept House. The spaces were very creative and inviting. Who would have known we were in the middle of Manhattan? What a great place to relax and entertain guests. The wing chair and dining table were such a surprise to see outdoors. They certainly did not look like outdoor furniture and the fabrics that Michael used certainly did not look like outdoor fabric either. The fabrics are from Perennials, linens and
velvets combined. Over all it was a very unique space.

I have been wanting a Robert Abbey Gourd Lamp
fulfill my lamp dreams! It is in the color-way Marine
and I cannot wait to add it to my new apartment!
How chic does it look in these spaces!
We've been on quite a few adventures lately. We spent a couple wonderful
days in New York City attending events through Blogfest 2012.
Two of our favorite visits were to the Kips Bay Showhouse and the
Elle Decor Concept House.
We took so many photographs throughout the days; some that stood
out the most were our detail shots. We've selected a few beautiful
draperies that we'd love to share with you.
These gorgeous floral drapes with a contrasting back side
took our breath away were spotted in the Lee Jofa Showroom
at the D&D. The floral, stripes and polka dots were perfect.
Katie Leede created a spectactular bedroom and bathroom
for a young adult. She incorporated her beautiful textiles into
both rooms. We especially loved the Thebes fabric she used
in the bedroom. It looks gorgeous next to the Farrow & Ball pink!
One of our favorite details was that of the drapery. Perfect
mauve against the shiny green walls.
And the plaid in Thom Filicia's Dining Room was amazing!
We loved his whole room and the way in which he paid
homage to Albert Hadley, with his drawings framed was sensational.

Some pictures from our Memorial Day. Wonderful breakfast sitting outside with tea and the dogs with the view. Then a great hike up in the mountains. We ended the day with a fantastic dinner with roses, orchids and lily of the valley for the table. Hope everyone is having a relaxing, wonderful weekend. Summer is here!

Blogfest. They are from a super cute designer shop on Etsy
I couldn't help but share! They are absolutely
adorable and are really getting me ready for Memorial
Day weekend and 4th of July...both of which dates remind
me of the beach, sailing and all things nautical! And what better
accessory than a nautical rope bracelet...in navy!
What a wonderful surprise we had when we entered the
2012 Elle Decor Modern Life Concept House. We peaked into the first room and were so happy to see the familiar faces of the
Pieces crew. The darling Lee Kleinhelter was standing in her adorable and so sophisticated sanctuary and powder room. Lee was so gracious to pose with her yellow lamps and fantastic swirling yellow pillows. The powder room with its black and white striped wall added another wow factor to the space. All in all a super cute room and powder room to see. Thank you Lee so very much (hope you made your flight :).
