An idea to steal...

We all have seen endless desk makeovers..some fabulous and others not quite. But here's one which is absolutely smashing..it's all idea and no effort ( unless moving two pieces of furniture amounts to any serious effort)...

See what I mean...

I think its a really unique mix of modern with vintage which is a winner not just aesthetically but also functionally ...Not to forget, a real space saver in this particular case..a single-room home on Manhattan's Upper East Side...

The space between the two surfaces serves as an excellent place to display some favorite things belonging to the homeowner, Matthew Kowles....

To see more of this home, small on size but big on style or as Kowles so rightly puts it 'a little suite at the Ritz', do visit Lonny.

Monday workspace...

A perfectly imperfect workspace... full of things that inspire and hold memories...Where nothing is really expensive but everything is precious...

Here's to a great new week..Happy monday!

Friday fabulousness...

You feast your eyes on this piece of fabulousness while I pick up my jaw from the floor and try and come up with some adjectives which would actually do this kitchen some justice...

(My) Monday workspace...

Since it might well be a couple of months before I can share some pictures of my real workspace/studio with you, I thought I'll give you a peek into my current workspace. Even after the studio is ready, this little corner in my bedroom will always be my favorite place for blogging and surfing...

Hope you all have a great start to this new week!

A perfect prop for Halloween...Now if only Tim Walker would agree to install it in my foyer! And then  those floor boards would creak...

Stay safe...

Sending out prayers for all those who may lie in the path of the hurricane. Hopefully, this will pass with minimal damage. Stay safe and God bless you all.

Green gorgeousness...

Could a bathroom be any more exquisite? With fabulous hand painted de Gournay wallpaper  as the backdrop, the (almost) claw-foot bath and other vintage accessories cannot help but look perfect.

I'm totally digging the highly industrial vibe going on in this workspace. I'm working on my own design studio  at home these days and even though the look is anything but industrial, the distressed worktable on casters is something I could totally use!

Hope you all have a great start to the week. Happy Monday!

HE knows best...

But only after you've given it your very best shot. The last few months have made me realize that even though it is the toughest thing to do, there are times when it is really the wisest thing to do. Here's to hope, faith and that irrepressible belief in miracles!

It's good to be back here..Have a wonderful weekend. I'll see you all on Monday!

Wednesday wanderlust...

I chanced upon these images of San Giorgio Mykonos Design Hotel yesterday and have been experiencing delicious bouts of wanderlust..and so would you once you've seen all these images...

Tell me know..is it calling your name?

Perfection does exist...

Take a look at this set-up..the kitchen, dining, pantry and a linen/ironing room all linked up in the most stylish and practical way..and you'll have to agree with me. This is what perfection looks like. Don't be alarmed if you experience acute storage and organization envy...The inhabitants of this house seem to have mastered it ..and how!! And those glass partitions are killing me!!!! Come on.. feast your eyes on this cream & black gorgeousness...

Never seen better organized drawers...
