A Palm Beach Maisonette

I love the way this small apartment interior blends perfectly with the outside colors.........which is exactly what the homeowner requested of interior designer, Mimi McMakin and her former partner Brooke Huttig.

So feminine and pretty!

The mantel is encrusted with seashells and the lime green pillows add that perfect 
dash of green to keep the all white palette fresh and bright.

The glass tabletop on the wicker bases keeps the light shining through to the original 
honed tile of the 1920s.

This bedroom is truly stunning and so fresh to awake to in the morning. 
The scalloping on the valance teams with the scalloping on the roman blinds.

The wall covering and matching fabric have birds and vines for the garden feel.

The green trellis is perfect with the white wicker furniture and accessories.

The courtyard is romantic and quaint.

China, crystal and flatware from Mary Mahoney.

Absolutely charming!

A Room of Her Own - Oprah's Tea House

This is the room Oprah loves to escape to every chance she gets. She can read quietly while there, meditate, listen to music or socialize - all while enjoying her spectacular and beloved garden filled with thousands of roses, hydrangeas and dahlias. 

No matter where she is in the world, she knows this tea house is awaiting her arrival.  "It's my dream, having a place like this. Some people ask, 'Why do you need more space?' And I tell them, 'I need it to restore myself.'

While we may never have our own tea house, we can certainly dream!

Have a wonderful weekend!

A Colorful Shoot of Gorgeous Bridal Gowns

I came upon this bridal shoot with Lydia Hearst modelling some beautiful designer wedding gowns against such artful backdrops that I just had to share.

She is a lover of flowers, so she was surrounded by lots of blooms (real and handmade) to enhance the scenes.   Some of the backdrops reminded me of some Matisse paintings, while others were designed to enhance the designer outfits.

 Very artistic.........hope you enjoy!
