What Will They Electrify Next ?

This is wall covering / wallpaper and it can be used for lighting in a room.

Imagine it's application in a powder room. When you flip on the switch, the room glows ...............??

This could be interesting.

I probably would use it on a ceiling, and maybe on the wall behind the sink mirror.

This immediately made me think of the glowing stars that people put on

children's bedroom ceilings. { which I never ever liked }

I just put this in because.....it's new, and we should know about it.

I don't love it when a client knows about something new in design before me.

And keeps insisting & hissing......" You haven't ever heard of blah blah blah ? "

What I really want to say but don't, is "why would I know about that ? I would never use anything like that. Ever !" MEOW MEOW

So.......

I wonder what they will electrify next. ?? hmmmm....

I wonder if Camilla Diedrich is part ' engineer ?'

She actually has a great last name ; Diedrich = Died Rich

Home Is A Castle

What a great house, it almost looks like Cinderella's Castle at Disney World.

The reason I posted this house is because I was drawn to the interior architecture, and all that I could & would do with it.

It is obvious that this is an older home with the exposed radiators and this kitchen. I happen to think this kitchen is charming. It reminds me of an older yachts galley. It almost looks like teak, I know it isn't ,but the bead board and color make me think of an older galley.

This room is used by the owners as the Family Chapel

Remember in Brides-Head Revisited, they had a Chapel in their home.

Linen closet, with nice detail.

I really prefer older homes, they have real charm and most importantly, character.

Look at all the wood with storage in the walls !

And that bay window is 'charm.'

Exposed Radiators...................

What a great big staircase, french doors down the hall, and wood through out the house for flooring.

And a bigger bay window in the living room.

Do you see a room that you would do something very different in, or a room you would use for a special activity ??

'AHOY There Matey'

I kept looking at this picture over the mantle , and kept thinking, "that's Eva Peron."
Then I found it at www.nyu.edu .

It is Eva Peron.......hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

This is Nanette Lepore's home. See the 'Tall Ship' chandelier ..... ?

I was walking down the street and passed 'Z Gallerie' and saw this,

it is marked $ 799.00.

The last one I saw was in Palm Beach's Antique Row, and it was more like

$ 17,000.00.

A fixture like this will always cause a house guest to smile.

You just hit the JACKPOT !!!

Specs: 25”L x 38”H x 14W”

BOING , BOING , BOING !!!!

Remember Lara & Dr Zhivago ????

Remember when they ran away and hid in the frozen palace ?

This made a huge impression on me.

The first chandelier I bought was on E. 61st St. in NYC.

It was an ornate Murano Glass chandelier in a milky white. And I had to have it because it reminded of the frozen over palace that the lovers hid in during the revolution.

BOING !!! We bounce back like magic every year.

The FREEZE is over now........................it is spring.

Love is in the air...............

Happy Springtime

Believe it or not, the close-up of this branch is what started this post.

I found this 6 months ago and thought...............hmmmmmm....

If I were a patient person, with a steady hand, or I could deal with tedious......

I would try to make this. This pic is a closeup of a chandelier made entirely of branches.

Obviously, they are wired by hand ,and then the tiniest bulbs are attached.

Then, teeny tiny little shells or flat beads ( whatever) are attached around the bulbs.

How FABOO !!!!!

Savanna, Georgia

I saw this and thought of FIFI FLOWERS, and said to myself; "FIFI's work would be great on fabric, I wonder if she might try it ? "

Yes, I would like FIFI's design more than this ! ( duh ) Although it is all a matter of personal preference.
