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.

'The Trade' Showroom in Boca Raton - The Progress


The view of the  front window
which will have draperies and a very fabulous soft valance that looks like this.
I have done this and LOVE it.
This soft valance will be a solid 
{ I haven't decided which one to use yet }
with full sheers under the valance.
YUMMY!!
This will be in the front and in the back 
of the store covering the back door.
Which is a huge eye sore to me.


This is the back view.
See the back door???


This is the office and will have glass where the opening is.
The glass will be butted in the corner.


On this wall there will be
a wall unit,
 a 54" round dining table and chairs,
 and a euro sleeper close to the door on the left.
It really is the best sleeper.
I will show you more later.


This is what I have been up to.
More images to come as we progress.

Memorial Day 2011


Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on 5 May 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, in his General Order No. 11, and was first observed on 30 May 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. The first state to officially recognize the holiday was New York in 1873. By 1890 it was recognized by all of the northern states. The South refused to acknowledge the day, honoring their dead on separate days until after World War I (when the holiday changed from honoring just those who died fighting in the Civil War to honoring Americans who died fighting in any war). It is now celebrated in almost every State on the last Monday in May (passed by Congress with the National Holiday Act of 1971 (P.L. 90 - 363) to ensure a three day weekend for Federal holidays), though several southern states have an additional separate day for honoring the Confederate war dead: January 19 in Texas, April 26 in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi; May 10 in South Carolina; and June 3 (Jefferson Davis' birthday) in Louisiana and Tennessee.

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????

If only for a few hours of everyday,We could be in a space that is our very own.A place that is exactly the way we want it to be

Surrounded by all the things we wanted to see,

The atmosphere we wanted feel, smell and the sound we wanted to listen to.
