The black and the red

I'll keep posting photos from fashion week that I like. I love the zipper accents on the belt and that all her accents are red.

Coastal New England Ocean Oasis

One of my favorite parts of writing Willow Decor is getting to know the many other talented designers, architects, artists and residential photographers that make these beautiful spaces come alive. Meeting photographer Jamie Salomon was one of these special connections. Whether you are aware of it or not, you most likely have already seen his work. It has been featured in many magazines including, Coastal Living, Better Homes and Gardens, New England Home and several others.

He shared with me this wonderful cottage renovation on the New England coast. As you can see the home is located out on a peninsula. At high tide it becomes an ocean oasis. Though small, it is filled with everything you need to relax. The main room above features a kitchen nook and desk area.

Decorated in soothing whites and grays it is impossible not feel your tension rush away with tide.

The cottage is sparsely decorated; intentional so you take in the spectacular ocean views. Here is the couch area from a different angle. I love the whitewashed walls which remind me of sun -bleached driftwood.

Opposite the seating area is a ladder to the loft above and a daybed tucked below. As you can imagine the views from every direction are breathtaking.

Here is a close up of the daybed overflowing with soft pillows. The wonderful sconces provide just the right light for curling up with a good book.

With this view I am quite sure I would never leave - it gives a whole new meaning to word "bed-rest"!

Except of course to sit out on the deck and cast my line - Perhaps fish for dinner??

Have a wonderful relaxing weekend!

A wood paneled farmhouse.

The owners of a renovated farmhouse asked me to make a design for the woodpaneling at the sitting area and the dining room.

The woodpaneling is made by my company Lefèvre Interiors.

This is the the view from the sitting area towards the dining room.
The entrry hall is situated between sitting area and dining room.

Also the shutters at the entry hall are made by my company.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

House in Argentina

Sunday reminds me of barbecues in Argentina. So, it's a good day to post pictures of this colonial style house typical of the Argentine Pampas: pinewood floors in some of the rooms, checkered black and white in others, furniture made of wood and cast iron lamps. Sofía Figueroa Bunge decorated the interiors.

Just by the entrance door there's a rack for ponchos. (Note to hubby: we could add glass panes and wrought iron to our front doors, something like these).
