Clare's House

Check out every little detail.

There is so much to take in.

You can read the complete article if you click on the link at the bottom of this post. 

"Clare Fraser seeks to create the comfort and warmth she so prizes by favoring French furniture, antiques, rich fabrics and wall coverings. It might not be making the cover of Wallpaper magazine any time soon but then, given the pendulum swings of taste, you never know … and in the meantime she is not short of clients looking for this kind of elegance. She was honest about how connections and privilege have helped her along the way but they only take you so far. She may well fit the description ‘lady decorator’ but that doesn’t mean that she’s playing at it – she’s the real deal."

The floors and her collections displayed through out her home,

make this living treasure....A HOME!

Love the walls in this hall?

Do you love this room?

I do.

Is this too traditional for you?

It is so NYC.

I try my best to look at a 'thing' or at a setting and take away the part that

I DID LIKE.

What did you like?

Another Artists Studio....

That I would like to lease or buy.

For some weird reason I would like to live in this space.

Is it the white everywhere?

Is it because it looks like I would have more open space?

Maybe it is just the huge paintings.

The orange one.

I have had orange on the brain.

I need to use it in a project.

And I need to use it soon.

The stone walls painted over remind me of when I lived in Montreal.

The feel is beyond casual, which is very freeing.

It's like I am feeling inside.

Like I am 'verging'......

on a new creation.

Could you lay out projects here and do some work?

And then go to another part of this studio and relax, dine or sleep?

I would love to!!

Guest Blogger Buster Barman Is Back

Hi

I am Buster Barman 

my dad is a super famous designer based in NYC

DUH....!

John Barman installed a retractable, floor-to-ceiling door between the previously boxy spaces of his 1,500-square-foot Miami Beach apartment to allow immediate ocean views from every room. In the living area, Barman placed Thonet chairs from the 1950s and vintage accessories.

My daddy is John Barman.

He recently designed our new home in Miami Beach, 

it ended up on the September cover 

of Architectural Digest. 

That's my dad

John Barman, 

 designer extraordinaire!

I think it is spectacular. 

The colors are fun and happy.

Everything is bright and clean.

{i better steer clear of the carpets...or else}

This is where I hang out when my dad is entertaining.

The kitchen.

Occasionally someone looks the other way and I can 

steel a tidbit or two. 

Dad has hidden the sub zero behind cabinetry.

Do you like?

Architectural Digest did!

Another carpet to steer clear of!!!

...but it looks inviting.

Dad raised the ceilings in this room to 15 delicious feet.

How is that for a view?

This is the last room in the house to show you.

It is a combination office/guest room.

Lucky guests huh?

When dad is gone 

I nap on this bed 

and watch the action down on the beach.

Tonight I Am ...

Craving chocolate big time!!!

Unless I get up and get dressed and go to the store,

this will be a s close to chocolate as I will get.

I have been taking it a bit easy on the blogging scene for 2 days now.

I haven't been posting or commenting because

my right eye is red, painful. I have a touch of pink eye.

This is something I get off and on

because of my severe allergies here in South Florida.

I have hot compresses on my eye and and doing the medication thing as well.

xxx's sweet dreams

LETTING GO

Don't worry about losing.  

If it is right, it happens - 

The main thing is not to hurry.  

Nothing good gets away.  

~John Steinbeck, 10 November 1958

Wouldn't this be a good and healthy belief system to hold onto?

do you love this house? 

I do. 

It has been in my files forever 

and I wanted to finally share it.
