WE FIRST CAME ACROSS The French Manoir on Julie Huh-Currie's Instagram page of the same name, @french_manoir, where she documents the restoration, renovation and decoration of her château in Pays de la Loire. Victoria magazine recently ran a feature on the place, telling the story of how Currie's first thoughts of purchasing an estate in France can to her from her home in Australia, a grueling twenty-two hour flight away. She had never ever even been to France at the point, nor could she speak the language. The feature describes Currie's story of crossing ten thousand miles from the capital city of Melbourne to the village of Chevaigné-du-Maine ...
RECENTLY CAME ACROSS this chic and dramatic home in Ostermalm, Stockholm on Bárbara's blog, Living Gazette. The 142 square foot, four bedroom apartment was listed on the real estate site Lagerlings for 17.5 million SEK (about 2 million USD). After looking closely at the space, there seemed to be something oddly familiar about the space -- the herringbone flooring, leopard rug, and especially the ginger jar blinds in the kitchen. Of course, remembered then that it was the same home we had featured here in August 2015 as the home of Christine Roth, then the Global Marketing Director at GANT. The décor has changed somewhat, but some of Roth's artwork, as well as the blinds and leopard rug, remain the same. Scroll through for a glimpse of this wonderfully eclectic space, and click here for a comparison of how the home looked previously.
The Lanvin Fall 2017 Ready-to-Wear collection at the Hôtel de Ville in Paris is a study in “tender and strong femininity”, according to Bouchra Jarrar, artistic director of women’s wear at the house. For her second collection with Lanvin, Jarrar took things in a more dreamy and romantic direction, stating “It’s not a political act, but in the world we live in today, it’s important to give beauty and love.” Of course, the dresses were paired with flats and even boots, giving things a modern edge.
SOMETIMES THE BEST PLACES to find inspiring interiors is on the websites of the photographers hired to shoot them. Such is the case with this space shot by Swedish photographer Jesper Florbrant. While am not particularly fond of the rest of the space, this living room, with its pale, pale pink walls, crown mouldings, parquet flooring, deep wall panels and glittering chandelier, is truly inspirational, especially since we're currently in search of the perfect shade of PINK for the master bedroom ...
