My Showroom ....and How It Looks Right Now

The front window.

Just behind the front window,

you can see my glass office, and my custom sofa 

35" d x 128 x 112

Now, I am posting these images because my mother would not let up on me

until I did.

looking at the from from my desk where I am usually blogging

or designing.

Thank G-d for blogging.

The view from my glass office.

Things will be constantly changing....let's hope.

That is what I want anyway!

If you are a 'wanna be' young designer or an older one
 watch this short video.
It is fascinating.

If you are older you will remember his designs.
Unless of course you were a cave dweller in the 60's and 70's.

And if you are younger these designs are seeing a new beginning.

What are your thoughts of how he became who he is?
And how he got there?

This truly is an American Dream come true, in my humble opinion.

WITHOUT QUESTION......

How about you ?

This all seems to be coming to the forefront of what is important to me.

'THE TRADE' showroom is what I have longed for .

This is the path I have been trekking all my life.

In my dreams...

What I really wanted was my own line of upholstery and occasional pieces.  

It's coming....

I am jumping up and down with excitement and smiles.

Can You Ever Get Enough Of Kelly Wearstler ?

The bookcase is suberb.

The yellows are dramatic

Kelly Wearstler knows how to group a grouping !!!!

NO ?

Interesting.....

a ' touch of Louis ' chairs in a setting can really anchor 

and set forward a style.

Yet 

this dining room is NEW & FRESH.

That's what we want.

I love patent leather on chairs.

Especially these.

Baby chesterfield clubs!!

What can a girl say....?

Now these blue chairs are very FRESH & NEW

but they are actually upholstered chairs

taken for a very old antique chair.

I like.

DO YOU ?

Check out the mill work.

And the soft cool blue chinoiserie paper.

Yummy walls.

Such detailing....

kinda sets apart the 'women from the girls'.

Even the barstools have a geometric styling.

Lucite bar stools.

More mid-century / geometric styling

 in these dining room chairs.

Don't even!!!!

This is killing me.

I LOVE!!!

What could be more hot that lacquered Chippendale chairs???  

The swing sofa -

check out the chain and the detailing on the cushion.

Are you taking notes ladies ?

Everyone knows how I feel about armless sofas.

And the chairs are chic and retro.

But I love the sofa.

It is SOOOOOO clean.

Check out this screen.

Doggy Bathtubs And Tunnels In Manalapan

 

In the heart of Florida’s Gold Coast, the prestigious oceanfront enclave of Manalapan Beach lies in Palm Beach County, between the Town of Palm Beach and Boca Raton.

Buckle up.....

This cottage goes for a cool $ 20,000,000.00.

The dining room paneling is beautifully done. 

This to me,

is amazing.

Look closely at the kitchen cabinets. 

Behind the cabinets on either side of the stove,

the cabinets have been actually mounted on the windows.

BRILLIANT!!!!

This is the wall we will reupholster.

This is the ceiling in the master bedroom.

I could be very happy laying flat on my back in this room.

{wink wink}

and the pool....

more details

And this is 'HAL' -

he runs everything in the house.

Pretty wild isn't it?

But, there is more.

Every home needs an elevator.

I know that on some days ....

stairs look so daunting.

This is the view on the back terrace-with  a lovely fireplace.

That is the ocean across this 2 lane highway.

There are terraces all over. the front , the back, and the sides.

There is a huge pool house as well.

I think there is something like 20 thousand feet under air.

The view from the dining room.

This is one of my favorite features......

look at this picture.

You will see something 

that looks like a garage under this railing...

IT IS NOT.

It is a tunnel to the beach.

It goes under the 2 lane highway straight to the ocean.

So CHIC!!!

This is my other favorite feature....

the doggie bath.

PEEK A BOO.....I see you!!

yes

 that is me drooling over the many selections of onyx 

that this brilliant designer used.

 He was handsome and charming.

Not a bad way to spend  a morning in Palm Beach.

What do you think of the glass kitchen cabinets,

the tunnel, and the doggie bath????
