Small Space Style with Rue

Rue Magazine has featured the fabulous apartment of artist Katie Rodgers and talk about style packed into a small space. Only 500 sq ft and every corner has something interesting to look at! I love the styling of this apartment and the extra little touches, such as the turtle magnifying glass, add an extra personal feeling to the space. So great the extra punch of colour in the bedroom as well. Go visit Rue to see all of the photos...

Fashion Designer Apartment

A lovely stylish bedroom from the home of former fashion designer Adrianne Vitadini and Veranda Magazine to lead off the post tonight. Don't you love the mix of antique pieces with simple modern furnishings! The use of these little stools, in front of the bed and then again covered in leopard skin in this living room, really adds a wonderful touch. I also like how the living room has been divided into two seating areas...both gorgeous. The dining room is a little more traditional that I usually like but it works in this space for sure.

Sarah Richardson London Flat

I love how Sarah Richardson designed this gorgeous flat in central London. So luxurious with incredible fabrics and large crystal and gold chandeliers! This kitchen is really spectacular with marble floor and backsplash in a beautiful oyster colour contrasted with a rustic wood table. So like Sarah to mix high/low so well. Sarah has a great website with all of her designs from her show and it is really fun to go through and get design inspiration.

Designer: Windsor Smith

I have been doing research for a design project I am working on and I had the idea to go and look at the website of Windsor Smith for inspiration. Well I certainly went to the right place! This designer has really incredible taste and creates the most chic, yet livable rooms. Really an outstanding talent...I could live in most of the homes she designs and feel really comfortable. What I like is that she can design in many styles, traditional, eclectic or classic but manages to keep her own signature running through her work. She keeps a nice mix of modern mixed with antique or vintage and even her most classic homes never look stuffy. Take a look at a few of her wonderful rooms here many from here own home...

Blue and White Obsession

I have a few pieces of blue and white porcelain in my home and I really love it. I think it goes with every decor and fits into a neutral colour scheme perfectly. This is the home and personal collection of Furlow Gatewood, who is a been an influential member of the design community for many years. These photos that House Beautiful featured are from the book One Man's Folly (by Julia Reed and published by Rizzoli) and feature much of his amazing collection of blue and white porcelain. Now this is a collection! I love the blue and white stool in the first photo and the stunning ginger jars in all shapes and sizes. Plates, candleholder and vases fill out the rest of the collection, all set in the most beautiful home.

Designer: Michelle James

This is the really incredible home in Brooklyn of lighting designer Michelle James. Once a fashion designer Michelle began the renovation of her brownstone in 2008 and what was a personal creative project turned into a career as an interior design consultant. During the renovation Michelle designed the many vintage style light fixtures in the home and her lighting collection was born. I find it so fascinating that this highly innovative and creative person has had such a varied career and yet it shows that in the field of creative work there are no limitations to what you can do!

So many gorgeous details in this home (including the lighting of course). I love how she has used the height of the ceiling to create drama with tall mirrors and the artwork in the hall. Simply beautful don't you think?

Designer Apartment

This is the slightly odd but strangely beautiful apartment of fashion designer Frank Leder. A home with the most amazing architectural details from fabulous molded ceilings to the gorgeous herringbone floors.....Really everything is so interesting in this place! Jars and jars of what I am not sure, covering several surfaces and then there is the pile of chairs in the dining room...super creative and eclectic! Every room has such a great ceiling lamp as well. Take a slow look at each room not to miss a detail!

Enjoy!

Chic Home in London

Oh this is one of those homes that I just can not get enough of! When I see a house like this I go over and over it to look at all the details. This is the home of Australian born designer Alison Henry who now lives and works in London. This townhouse in the Chelsea district, think rock star and socialite neighbors, is simply too gorgeous for words. Totally done in white, with white washed oak floors and pale silk carpets throughout, much of the furniture and lighting is designed by Alison herself. I love the lanterns in the living room and the amazing mirror on the stairs. Alison has four children running around this house and that did not deter her from decorating in white at all...even the children's rooms are done up in white! She has an incredible sense of style and has done an amazing job with this home!! Other London homes here and here.

Enjoy!
