HORIZON EN LA NOCHE

.....................................


La empresa espanola Unopiu ha abierto al mercado una nueva linea innovadora y vanguardista en mobiliario para jardin.

Esta linea Horizon es iluminada en la noche, asi no solo es decorativo sino que es a la vez funcional.

Esta linea de mobiliario exterior logicamente no es para cualquier vivienda ni para cualquier usuario.

MAS RUSTICO MARINO

........................................


Nuevas variantes del estilo rustico de costa o marino.
Con toques de modernidad podemos ver interesantes ejemplos en los tonos tipicos de este estilo.























.

SILLAS VESTIDAS

........................................

Las sillas vestidas son una interesante propuesta para vestir nuestro comedor rustico, pues nos da la posibilidad de convertirlo en algo especial y mas importante.

Ademas nos permite utilizar sillas que esten en malas condiciones o que no sean del mismo estilo, o que no luzcan adecuadas.

Asi con una buena cubierta convertiremos esas sillas en algo mas adecuado a nuestra ambientacion rustica.

GRUESOS MADEROS EN EL ESTILO RUSTICO

..................................


El estilo rustico permite la utilizacion de gruesos maderos avejentados que le dan un aire tan particular.

Los ambientes no necesitan ser demasido rusticos o con un rustico muy fuerte, la utilizacion de estos gruesos maderos le da el toque que necesitan para  lucir actuales y autenticos.

























Dream Big

We should be reminded of this every day... What are your dreams?

Also, a HUGE thank you goes out to Marianne at Haven and Home
for featuring my watercolors today!

MULTIBIBLIOTECAS PARA EL LIVING

.................................................


Siempre las bibliotecas son utiles en los livings, tal vez porque sea el sitio mas adecuado o comodo para la lectura, o porque no disponemos de una habitacion exclusiva para los libros.

Asi se crean espacios interesantes que con composiciones novedosas y actuales logran integrarse perfectamente a este ambiente.

HOME OFFICES RUSTICOS TRADICIONALES

................................................


Algunos ejemplos de home offices y habitaciones de oficios/hobbies hogarenas con aire rustico y tradicional. Muy utilizados en zonas urbanas y de campo.

Tienen un encanto muy especial y se utilizan mucho en caso de no ser tan afectos a un rustico mas rudo y primitivo. Asi se amalgama el estilo con la forma de vida actual y mas urbana.

Chic in LA: Peter Dunham and Hollywood at Home

After Almont Yard, I highly recommend a visit to La Cienega Boulevard. It's chock full of great design shops including interior designer Peter Dunham's chic shop Hollywood at Home. It used to be in Almont Yard so make sure you know that it's moved!

When you walk in the door and turn to your left, you're automatically transported to Marrakech through Martyn Lawrence-Bullard's fabulous fabrics! The print upholstered on the walls is called Majorelle and the one on the ceiling is actually called Marrakech!

Sorry this photo is a little dark but I wanted you to be able to see the ceiling.

Hollywood at Home represents quite a few textile lines including Jed Johnson Home seen above, Carolina Irving, Lisa Fine, Martyn Lawrence-Bullard, and his own Peter Dunham line. That's him posing above.

Hollywood at Home also sells custom furniture that Peter found hard to find for his design business. They draw on "a blend of Spanish, mid-century Mediterranean, and Anglo-Indian influences."

I love that most all the LA design shops have wonderful seating areas for meetings and socializing! Also, the How to Marry a Millionaire Rush Side Chair above is one of Peter's most popular and well known designs that is a re-edition of one bought at auction that was seen in the Marilyn Monroe movie. The original is attributed to T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings.

Peter Dunham also designed the family home for Juicy Couture co-founder Pamela Skaist-Levy that was featured in Harper's Bazaar magazine.

I really wish New York showrooms hung their fabrics from grommets and hooks. I love that you can take them down and see them in different light before you request a sample you might not want.

The front entrance to the shop is this beautiful and flattering pink color. Pink is definitely starting to grow on me! Oh, and the mirror is for sale through Hollywood at Home too!

More fabrics are displayed behind the reception desk.

While Christian, Andrea and I were hanging out chatting with Peter, Madeline Stuart came in with one of her assistants. As I mentioned previously, Madeline recently moved her office to La Cienega and it's across the street from Hollywood at Home. We joked that she was following us but she really came in to shop for fabrics! A designer's work is never finished!

MESA DE SITIO

............................................


Las mesas de sitio son muy utiles para cubrir espacios impensados, pero tambien tienen una importante funcion, dan ingreso a la vivienda y nos ubican en ella mostrandonos parte de la historia, del estilo y modos de vida de la familia.

Es el sitio de presentacion de algunos recuerdos, de la ubicacion de cuadros o de flores para decorar. Son interesantes porque se pueden poner en otro estilo un poco mas relajado de todo el estilo de la vivienda.
