WE HAPPENED UPON a lilac-coloured faux leather halter top with matching trousers, and from that moment on, all we could think about were spring things and pretty, pretty pastels. And so, we've gathered up a few of our current favourites, from soft hotel bed linens to rose-coloured wine glasses and more ...
As you know, we have been fans of Axel Vervoordt for a while now and featured a few of our favourite projects of his in April of 2018. Known for his incredibly calm, grand, sun-dappled, plant-filled and zen-like spaces in tones of whites and neutrals, this space, the home of Dallas-based antiques dealer Betty Gertz ...
THIS WEEKEND WE watched two films: Knives Out (Rian Johnson, 2019) and Marriage Story (Noah Baumbach, 2019) and both were really good. Knives Out was fast-paced and funny and great fun to try to figure out, while Marriage Story was deeply moving and heartbreaking and made me cry several times.
Bunny Williams' new Manhattan apartment is pure maximalist perfection. Located in the same 1920s French Gothic Revival building that she's lived in for over twenty years. the new space features new arrangements of her old things, and the result could not be more spectacular. Like with all of her work, there are truly exquisite details such as custom mercury glass ...
“If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.” ―E.B. White
The piano classes on the third floor of my building have started again, the terraces on my street are open again and the streets are filled again with everybody going back at work. And while I love Paris with its endless beauty and inspiration, this summer, I fell in love even more with the South of France, which showed me again that a peaceful and relaxed lifestyle changes the quality of life...
I was walking the other day, to a conference with Esther Perel (for those reading this article who haven't heard of her, I totally recommend her podcasts and books) and I thought I was never going to get there on time because I stopped in at so many beautiful Parisian design stores on my way. And so, I thought I should share with you some décor inspiration, a few things on my shopping list, and the décor-related Instagram accounts that I adore these days...
PARIS - We've featured our share of Paris apartments here at TIG, as well beautiful interiors found on Instgram. This Haussmannian fits into both categories. L’Appartement La Fayette, as it is known, is Canadian Jackie Kai Ellis' latest project, a space she bought in the winter of 2017.
After happening upon the stunning powder room featured in this week's Weekend Links @graciestudio on Instagram earlier this week, had decided to find out more about this beautiful renovation and discovered that it belonged to Adam and Amber Ford, a husband and wife team living in Knoxville, Tennessee. The pair have been living in and designing their first home, a 1940's Tudor, since May 2016 and document everything on their blog, The Happy Tudor. Scroll through for a glimpse of this fresh and elegant guest bath that features stunning handpainted Gracie wallpaper, glossy subway tile, boiserie, unlacquered brass fixtures and golden accents throughout...
THIS WEEKEND we left the city behind with friends for a beautiful beach we’d never been to before. (If you follow on Instagram, you would have seen, in our Stories, the photos and video clips of white sands and grassy dunes and the lull of turquoise crashing waves.) After a leisurely walk along the coast in the bright sun and the bluest Mediterranean skies, we stopped in at the most charming restaurant that serves local cuisine, for a long and lingering lunch of the best seafood paella we’d ever tasted so far.
