A bold color palate with touches of matte black seems only appropriate for the Rei Kawakubo-themed spring 2017 Met Gala.  I do think they could have gone a little more modern, though I imagine it is hard to be super avant-garde with decor for such a large formal event.  

Came across Wihro Kim’s layered interiors and indoor/outdoor compositions thanks to Instagram’s Explore feed. I appreciate many different styles of 2D art, but there is something special about being able to keep seeing things in artwork.  Whenever I invest in a large painting someday, I want something like this--a window to peer through, a piece you can’t stop coming back to, exploring again and again, and maybe getting lost in. 

Morning at home.  I love a still life and I love a real table with the colorful fruits of nature. I don't love my lack of storage...

All the patterns!

Had a sneak peek at the new Le Labo offices in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. This is me in yellow trying to contain my excitement over the beautiful light in this space as I sat on a Stephen Kenn sofa!  Open office done right and the industrial chic thing doesn’t feel tired--it feels comfortable and fresh.

So gorgeous: Adrian Pearsall Style Velvet Armchair & Ottoman on LiveAuctioneers. $400 day before auction; estimate $800-$1200. BID!

Obsessed. $548

Too much?  ;)  I recently bought a book on 80s interior design just to see what unexpected inspiration I might find. Follow link for Apartment Therapy’s most gauche 80s finds.

Wowza. Must go to Amsterdam

Love me some built-in shelving, especially to tuck TV away! (My idea, lovely execution by my bestie @tivoli42006) (at Bolton Hill, Baltimore)
