Inspired = Lyford Cay Club - Bahamas

I'm smitten with Tom Scheerer's design for the Lyford Cay Club. It delivers so many wonderful elements; pagoda designs, grass cloth, faux bamboo, corals, pink, yellow and chocolate, antique mirrors. etc. etc. Most of Tom's designs use these materials. His work is amazing.
I'm not sure I'll ever make  it past the pink entry gates, but a girl can dream right? A little beach shack in the Bahamas would do. {see Tom's home here - I am in love with this casual beauty}
How amazing is this tented dining area?




And the Lyford Cay inspired Pagoda print by Quadrille {of course}

A bit of Brit.



With the royal wedding taking place tomorrow how could I resist a British inspired post?
I won't be up at 4:00 a.m. to sip tea and catch the extravagant affair, but you can be sure I'll be catching pieces of it all day! A number of images come to mind when thinking of England. I've only shared a few....

Inspired - Patricia Urquiola

I've been a long time fan of Spanish designer/architect's Patricia Urquiola's designs. They're unexpected and sculptural, a refreshing break from the norm. I have always wanted to use her Caboche pendant for Foscarini in a kitchen!

I love Barcelona or anything in Spain for that matter. Here is Patricia's design for the Mandarin Oriental in Barcelona.

Contemplating

The cape trend.  I'm not sure I'd wear one enough. I do love the look though, her entire outfit is fab.
Where I can find these colorful catch all's, for a client table top. {styling projects is so fun}(image: Style Court)
When to hit the road today. I'm heading up to Vermont with my little ones for the weekend..
How if I ever have enough dough to buy a house in Nantucket, then I'll surely have enough extra cash to pick up a vintage Jeep Wagoneer. This 1973 version recently sold for around $13,000. Sweet.

I am of course contemplating bigger life issues, like world hunger, politics etc. but I prefer to keep this blog on the light side. I'll leave the tough topics to The Times..

DVF home line?

How do you feel about Diane Von Furstenberg's design for the Claridge in London? Her twenty guest suites launched in June 2010. Does her signature mix of textiles and prints work for you here? or not? Her full fabric-home line will be available January 11'.
