RECENTLY we featured a few Beautiful Powder Rooms for Springtime, which included stripes and tiles, and of course, dramatic marble. For this week's Tuesday Two, we're highlighting two especially chic bathrooms with a focus on marble.
THE PAST FEW décor articles have been heavily French and English countryside-inspired because it's aesthetically where we're at in our design tastes at the moment. But before that, in July of this year, we wrote about Amber Interiors, a California-based design studio working with lots of natural textures, marble and warm rough-hewn wood. Well today, we'd like to revisit that aesthetic and introduce you to Blanc Marine Intérieurs, a Canadian design firm based in Montreal ...
YOU MAY HAVE seen the work of Amber Lewis here before⏤snippets from her Instagram page, @amberinteriors, with wonderfully calm rooms in neutral tones mixed with beautiful textures such as marble and rough-hewn wood, plaster and linen and rattan ...
THIS WEEK'S DÉCOR inspiration is furniture seller-turned-interior designer Juniper Tedhams's Chelsea townhouse, located in the lower two floors of an Italianate-style building dating back to the 1850s. The ground floor used to be her shop, then her interior design office ...
ONLY 6 DAYS into the new year and we're still taking things very slowly here at TIG, as you may have noticed. A new year is always a good time for a palate cleanser, and this spare and spacious Paris apartment is the perfect place to begin. The space was designed by Helene Van Marcke, a designer and architect who was born in Ghent, Belgium and counts the Arte Povera movement and old American Shaker houses as inspiration ...
CHANCES ARE, you're already familiar with the work of Canadian interior designer Ashely Montgomery, for her designs have been all over Instagram lately. And it's no wonder—the effortless mix of deep wood tones and marble, ceiling beams and brass is both elegant and liveable at once ...
IT'S A RARE WINTER wonderland here in the English countryside, so Aaron and Lauren Paul's snowy 5-bedroom cabin getaway in Idaho seemed appropriate. The Idaho-raised actor's recently-built home was featured in the March issue of Architectural Digest. Located on a 5-acre lot, the Pauls' rustic-chic getaway is filled with reclaimed barnwood and Montana moss rock ...
WE'RE STILL in the process of repopulating our archives after the technical disaster that was 2020 saw the obliteration of thousands of images from our hosting site; many personal images were also lost from our external drives due to another (un-related) catastrophe, but that is another story. And in the process of fixing a 2017 article by Daniela featuring the work of Lázaro Rosa-Violán—the interior designer responsible for many of the chicest hotels and restaurants around the world ...
THE FIRST THING that caught my eye in this charming Swedish kitchen was the glass-front cabinets, which reminded me of those old barrister bookcases sometimes repurposed in décor for storing/displaying shoes. The kitchen belongs to two Berliners, Laura Muthesius, a food stylist, and Nora Eisermann, a photographer, who always dreamed of owning a home in Sweden.
There is a restaurant in Bucharest that my friends told me about on my recent trip to Romania, called Pot Stories. It's a place filled with natural fabrics, thick carpets, an abundance of greenery and ceramics, rough wooden tables, and rope and wicker.
THINGS HAVE BEEN a bit stressful lately―our site is full of holes at the moment where images should be (long story); I am currently locked out of the TIG facebook account (Does anyone have a fix for this?); and the pandemic is taking hold again...
IT WAS THE PHOTO, above, of the Calacatta Monet marble counter and the antique lamp with wicker shade that stopped me in my tracks while scrolling through Instagram this morning.
Dreaming this morning of a winter retreat in a wooden house, spending time reading in a cozy alcove, with beautiful snowy views. Pierre Yovanovitch made the ideal space in the Swiss village of Andermatt ...
THERE IS SOMETHING utterly charming about John Derian's eclectic Manhattan apartment. It is one of those fascinating spaces where one could get lost for hours in another world—a world where French armchairs and Italian armoires co-exist, where a Swedish wall and Transylvanian linens intermingle comfortably side by side. There is a 19th-century canopy bed, open shelves filled with 18th-21st-century dishware, scatterings of area rugs and a well-worn chesterfield, oil paintings and other artwork, moody grey walls and plenty of wood, all bathed in a smokey, dusky light...
