Park Avenue Penthouse Anyone?

Here is a 5 bedroom Park Avenue penthouse on the market for $25,000,000.00. It has been done beautifully in a transitional style.The kitchen and bathroom have been done in classic, simple design that doesn't say "WOW" but you won't easily tire of . I adore the clean simplicity of the furniture, the fun, youthful art, and the use of geometric patterns. Would you spring for it?

Santa Barbara Retreat

This home is on the market for $57,500,000.00 in Santa Barbara, California. It has over 20,000 square feet of living space and 360 degree views. It's quite breathtaking and has rooms for formal living and casual living.  I think the rooms speak for themselves but if the new buyer needs a designer...I am available!

There's a Place in France...

You know the old saying "Don't judge a book by its cover"? Well, I am of the opinion that a cover should match its contents. But sometimes it doesn't....and that can be a good thing! Take this house in France...

Such a beautiful, traditional house...I expected to see scrolled arm sofas in velvet and gilt framed oil paintings. Instead it's this....

Modern Sofas and Tables

Polished Concrete Floors

Traditional Beams and Fireplace Juxtaposed with Clean Lined Furniture

Rustic Wood Flooring with Oversized Drum Shades

Totally Modern Kitchen

Light and Airy Master

Masculine Bathroom Softened by Pooling Drapes

Greener Grass

So for years I have driven past this house in Laguna Beach.

I used to imagine what the interiors were like. I felt slightly envious of the lucky ones that lived there. Well, its on the market now so I got to see the inside of this magnificent house. Hmmm. Turns out that the grass is not as green on the other side. But I'll let you decide...Laguna House.

This little gem of a property is screaming for this bedroom. I put together an iron bed with nice chunky chest so the bedroom doesn't come off as too feminine. The soft color combination of peach and cream is soothing and calm. A big comfortable chair and ottoman for reading or relaxing. The rug is wool for durability and silk for that shine and elegance. All bedrooms should have a luxury candle!
