Weekend Treat!

Thanks to one of my favorite blogs, My Scandinavian Home, I am able to share this lovely home with you!  I don't know how many times I've seen these photos, but I always remember how much inspiration it had given me when I moved in to my NYC flat.  The simplicity just captivates, and the unexpected disarray is a pleasant touch.  Sometimes it makes me think my stacked books on the floor are too stagnant and structured!

Black, or White?

“Women think of all colors except the absence of color. I have said that black has it all. White too. Their beauty is absolute. It is the perfect harmony.”

― Coco Chanel

ESPRIT DE CORP

I am not shy to admit I am a complete 80s child!  That decade shaped my likes for fashion, the colour "shocking pink", New Wave music, and even what you may consider bad hair -- I love it!  It's funny, I know...  Susie Tompkins was my greatest fashion guru at the time, being the cofounder of the label ESPRIT.  You cannot imagine how thrilled I was to come across her name on Remodelista.  Let's tour her cool home in SanFrancisco.

These two much coveted items shaped her home today:  Prouve chairs and Serge Mouille lamp.

The silkscreen is a gift from the illustrator herself, Maira Kalman, before this poster became a trend.
