I love everything about this space. So light and airy with beautiful views of Stockholm.
Yesterday's post on menswear inspired posters reminded me of this. I love the store design for J. Crew's stand alone men's shop. It is located in the 1825 Tribeca Tavern, complete with the original bar. The store design was done by Partners and Spade and the J. Crew in-house team. I love that it is classic and old-fashioned yet hip. The branding is really nicely done too, very simple and clean. How fun, that the ties being displayed in the highball glasses.
I love these redesigned movie posters. Moxie Creative House redesigned 10 popular movies posters based on the iconic style of the movie. I like how little they needed to add to get the movie across. Dumb and Dumber isn't really my favorite movie but that poster is my favorite here. I like how in just a top hat and bow tie they can convey the humor of the movie.
This weeks mid-week daydream is a bit different. I haven't run across a really amazing space to dream about living in but I am loving this whole chalkboard wall and that pumpkin sofa.
Last Friday, my mom and I went to visit Blithewold Mansion & Arboretum in Bristol, RI. The current home was built in 1908 after the first was destroyed by fire. Blithewold Mansion was designed after an English country manor. I wish I could have taken pictures inside because it is by far one of the most livable of the Rhode Island mansions. The ones in Newport are so extravagant with gold gilded ceilings and painted murals it is hard to believe someone once lived there. This one was designed with rest and relaxing in mind. When you walk into the house you are greeted by that view of the great lawn out to the water.
Photo Friday...a little late.
I love all the colors of fall, especially all the pumpkin colors. But I saw this today in Sweet Paul Magazine and thought it was a really unique take on decorating for Halloween. The macabre isn't my thing but when it is all in one color I think it looks quite nice. What do you think? Do you like it or is traditional the way to go?
I finally got a chance to look through Rue Magazine today. Their first issue is quite nice. It is similar in look and layout to Lonny and my dearly missed Domino. This space was by far my favorite. The natural light and the eclectic mix of furniture, accessories and materials is great. I really like the neutral colors and the touches of animal print.
I love these recycled furniture pieces created by South African designer Katie Thompson. She takes discarded objects and turns it into one of a kind furniture, lighting and home accessory pieces. The broken umbrella chandeliers are my favorite by far.
