A French Artist's Studio

How is it ?

Why is it ?

They just can pull it off......with such ease.

Style.

As only the French can do!

I mean this is an artist's studio,

and their living space.

It is divine.

Especially the 1st picture and the last (bedroom).

This is a regular/normal ( as normal as an artist can be) person.

Don't you agree that Jean Paul 

from 21 Rue Jacob, Paris Fr.

can pull off something that William Butler 

from Little Rock Arkansas can not?

Are you confident 

that if you were an artist 

with no interior design experience...

that your place would look this cool?

There's A Party Going On Across From Bloomies

Designer Richard Keith Langham hosts a holiday dinner.

Location: NYC across from Bloomies.

" It is adorned in foil icicles, lights and balls — from the inside out and the top down — a job that requires scaffolding and a cherry picker. Allowing the twenty-foot tree to dominate the space, 

Langham simplifies his festive formula for the rest of the interior: loads of fresh balsam, fir and pine, and everything else drenched in red.

I am definitely up for a Christmas Party.

Especially If I could just drop in after shopping at Bloomies.

"The thrust of the whole room is its verticality," he says. About a decade ago, Langham fell in love at first sight with the space, a freestanding former savings-and-loan institution across the street from Bloomingdale's."

The soaring space is uniquely suited to elegant Christmas partying, and 

drop-by guests are always welcome. 

With native Southern charm and a nod to his stint at the University of Alabama, 

Langham sums up his delight in the season: "Let the yuletide roll."

His design tip:

"Anytime you have lots of people in, 

it is important 

to have decorations up above everybody's heads. 

As the room fills up, anything at eye level is lost."

He says that his ornaments are all dime store ornaments.

But he has thousands, and the tree takes 5 days to decorate.

Would you have a tree this big if your space would allow it ?

I say " hell no."

But I would if I had a staff to do the work....

I mean what could be prettier than a huge Christmas Tree?

My House ( in Beverly Hills ) At Christmas

Come see what a beautiful home my master has made for me

(and you) during Christmas Time in Beverly Hills.

My Mommy ( the master of this magnificent palace)

knows that I  LOVE  PEACOCKS.

They are soooo PURRR-fect.

Don't you think ????

My Mommy is far from traditional in her decorating during the holidays.

Don't you think?

This is where I nap.

Would you nap here too?

Love And Time

 The value of life does not depend 

on the length of time on this Earth,

but rather on the amount of love given 

and shared with the people we care about. 

My mom took me ice skating here in 1974. 

She sat right inside, 

behind the glass ( at a rink side table) 

and watched me skate.

It was wonderful day and a wonderful time.

I will have this experience inside of me always.

Do you have a sweet moment with your mom 

that makes you smile when you think of her ?

And can you still see her face at 'that moment' in your minds eye?

Merry Christmas ( especially to you MOM!!)
