Chic in Capri

A long holiday weekend in the Hamptons is great until you start seeing everyone's instagram pics from the Mediterranean.  Makes me want to rethink my travel plans for next year.  Then I came across the photo above that Minnie Mortimer pinned on Pinterest and found that it was from a house in Anacapri that the chic French designer Jean-Louis Deniot worked his magic on for an Italian client.  Anacapri is up the hill from Capri and is where the locals live that Deniot calls, "authentic". Usually, I start a house post inside but a seaside home is all about the out of doors.  I love all the natural materials Deniot used and the neutral palette set off by the lush greenery. Wonder if I can join Decorno on her summer trip to Italy next summer.

Intriguingly Chic

Sometimes you run across spaces that aren't exactly your own personal style but are so full of intriguing details that you can help but be enamored by them.  That's how I feel about this Paris apartment by Jean Louis Deniot.  I love the marble entry with jib door, the grey and gold color scheme, the striped bathroom, and I especially love the gold kitchen cabinets.  It's proof that you can find great ideas in any interior if you look hard enough. 

Bon weekend!
