On Your Mark

Get set...GO! The Mark Hotel in NYC is is great example of hotel design. I love this grand entrance!

 This is what I think of when someone says they want their bedroom to be hotel-esque. Calm, soothing, color palette and inviting furniture.

These bathrooms are unique and clean-feeling...

The living spaces are such a contrast to the frenetic energy of NYC.

I'm not as crazy about the hotel lobby....It seems like involuntary hypnosis may occur if you stay there more than 5 minutes.

Floating Luxury

Great design is great design it does not matter if it is a car, a sofa, a dress or a floating sea cabana. I saw this little unit in Vanity Fair magazine and fell in love! How amazing is this little floating oasis?!?! Who doesn't want one of these? Designed for the yacht owner who is just sick and tired of going to the top deck to sunbathe... you can now be close to the water and even jump in for dip. These $35,000.00 units are made by a company called Parrluxe. What I love about these is, of course, their chic styling! Darling colors, slick shades and great proportions make these so perfect!!

Banquette Please

Who doesn't love to sit in a booth? It's like sitting on the sofa and having dinner brought to you! I think they make great use of eat in dining kitchens. They are so welcoming and cozy. These banquettes look like rooms I would be happy to sit in!

Chandeliers

It's not everyday that people hang chandeliers in their living room but it really creates an intimate gathering space. I have collected some images of rooms that seem so inviting and comfortable not only because of the lighting but also the furniture. Sometimes it comes across as formal but mostly these rooms feel warm and welcoming. Even the outdoor space below feels special with the added lighting.

House of Style

I remember watching the MTV show House of Style and seeing Molly Sims house. I think it was in New York somewhere by the beach. I just loved it and tried to find some photos but alas that was before we spread everything around on the Internet at lightening speed. I did find her most recent house and it's very intriguing. I like how her home has so many of her own personal things. Her art and collectibles from around the world. This house is soooo LA.

Vanity To Go

Ready made bathroom vanities can be an easy solution for the powder room or guest bathroom. It's hard to find ones that really go above and beyond in style and design. However, Cole and Co. have hit the ball out of the park with these ready made vanities. They have a great variety for many different looks. Here are a few of my favorites!
