With the help of interior designer Shahan Minassian, pair developed a "jewel" on the left bank, bringing the blues of water and natural sea Such opulence is a match made in heaven for those who are responsible for some very luxurious handbags! How would it be surprising to see a gala New Year in one of those dresses? " For interviews and images in this exquisite home, chief of Harper's Bazaar!

Thank you all make this year better than ever. I'm so excited for 2011 and the world of blogs, and the "real life". I wish you a fantastic New Year's party! Stay safe, especially here in Minnesota! See you next year! ;)

Suzanne Käsler

First! My heart beats a little 'faster when I look at this to-die-room of my favorite designer Suzanne Käsler and also on the January issue of Veranda. This room is in Greenwich, Connecticut Home Photos Thibault Jeanson is an elegant and tranquil, filled with the right amount of beautiful colors, patterns and designs. Nancy Corzine bench covered in Cowtan & Tout fabric is fab-u-Lous!

Ashley Goforth

I like simple, clean lines and muted color palette of the rooms in Houston and interior designer Ashley Goforth. Each is timeless and classic ... and incredibly comfortable. I am especially fond of beds. Fluffy pillows and duvets are calling my name today! To verify the best interiors of Ashley, visit their website here!

Surprise

I thought I could stay away until the new year, 

but while I am working away on a new project,

I am noticing things about some of my older props. 

Namely - the pillows.

I love these,

I hope you do too,

but I am getting really annoyed with the damned floating pillow (fig.1)

Originally made with flying carpets, apparently, it is designed to sit on couches and chairs..

Perhaps you love it. Great.

For those of you who would rather it sit on the floor

I have made a second version (fig. 3).

You'll need to use an OMSP* to place it on furniture

but this way you can place it on any number of things.

And the floor pillow (fig. 2) is great,

but it's huge.

HUGE. 

Like - honkin'.

So for those of you who might like a second size,

I have made this mesh (fig. 4) a little smaller.

As a bonus, the smaller floor pillow is also getting 12 different overlays.

That's right bubbies - 12 new styles on the smaller mesh.

Kudos me. 

These 12 are culled from my favorite rugs 

from the already released rugs/ottoman sets.

Yup, you're counting correctly - the first one is CASt-able, so 13. 

I can count too - sheesh.

You won't need to ditch the old ones as this is a complimentary set.

Unless you don't like floating and huge pillows.

Oh yeah.

You might notice something new in some of the photos.

It's a sneak peak at what's to come.

Okay - until next year . . .  fer real this time.

Love ya, but I have got work to do.

Had a cold and it's eaten up some of my precious vacation.

So no hugs this time. Germs and all.

Besides - last time you nearly squeezed the life out of me.

Jeez.

I do not know about you, but I never want the season of joy at the end! (Especially when the choice is turquoise decorations!) Here are some examples of how my players are talented. I'm sure all your guests so much pleasure to your holiday decor! I know I did! :)

Post-Holiday Recovery

I hope you all had wonderful holiday weekend! In addition to the many wonderful gifts, I also got a bad cold over the weekend. Ugh! All I want to do is to cuddle in bed and doze off day. This friendly bed belonging to Johanna Vintage I would be cured in no time! What a beautiful picture!

Cool Blue. . . Color Combinations

I read the reviews. 

I take constructive criticism seriously.

You're blue that we don't have more blue.

We here at the studio understand your needs.

In fact - we invented them.

You didn't know you needed cool rugs.

Now you can't get enough of them.

We've created a monster.

And we love you for it.

C'mere. Gimme a hug.

Ooookay. That's enough.

Jeez - personal space.

My god - there's a bit of a bear in you.

Rowr!

Check out these babies while I fan myself.

detail 5 - 8

detail 9 - 12

This triple dog dare was hopefully met.

Wanna know what's harder to find than a blue antique rug? 

A green one. 

Give me time bubbies.

Give.

Me.

Time.

In the mean time,

 Chill out in your finished basement

cool off in your cottage by the lake

or just listen to the blues on the victrola.

Merry Christmas!
