Marvelous Marquis Faubourg Saint-Honoré

Not sure if you all know but Domino magazine is back. The New York Times referred to this newest incarnation as Domino 3.0 and it looks like the third time is the charm. It's no wonder though with Michelle Adams, the founder of Lonny, at the helm. I loved the new holiday issue on newsstands now and especially the feature on the Marquis Faubourg Saint-Honoré hotel in Paris. Set in the 8th arrondissement means it's close to all the sights and the fact that it was designed by Michele Bonan, of JK Place Hotel fame, means it's beyond chic. I was going to rent an apartment on my next trip to Paris but I may have to amend that idea now that I've seen the Marquis Faubourg Saint-Honoré. Le Sigh.

Studying Sara

Last night's panel with Domaine Home was rollicking good fun and I very much enjoyed chatting with Sara Ruffin Costello who was also on the panel with me. We've crossed paths before but never really had a chance to talk. Now that she's living in New Orleans, those chances are few and far between so this was a treat. Domaine Home recently featured one of the rooms in her house, the rest are waiting to be shot for a magazine. (You can read the entire story here.) I thought it was interesting to see how her style has changed since her old living room was featured in Domino magazine. The wall color is similar I find intriguing. Sara said she's been all about getting rid of old place holders and also parring down. She's less interested in gallery walls of art and instead is looking for large scale photography now. The moral of this story, is that we should always be evolving whether it's in our design style or in our life overall.

Bon weekend!

Stripe it Rich

Now that the Fall 2013 shows are almost upon us, I wonder what will prevail as a predominant theme. For Spring 2013, it was lots of black and white and stripes. I actually started a black and white stripes folder of images but never used them. It the perfect jumping off point for this post to get you in the mood for a graphic spring.
