Paris Apartment of Jacques Grange

“The architecture is very classical 18th century—exactly matching the Palais Royal garden outside—but the furniture, lighting and decorative objects are a mix of pure Art Déco, contemporary and 18th century,” Jacques Grange says of his Paris residence. Woven horsehair covers the walls of the bedroom, which has a “Neoclassical” sensibility, the designer explains. The lamp at left is by Jean-Michel Frank; at right is a lamp by Alberto Giacometti.

18th Century Paris Apartment of designer Thomas Pheasant

“What attracted me to the master bedroom was that it was light-filled—a rarity in Paris—and that it had wonderful proportions. It was the easiest area in the place to restore; I didn’t have to do much to it at all.” The 1998 photograph is Caldwell. (February 2003)

CHANEL does VT

A closer look at the newly released ads that uncle Karl dreamed up from his North Eastern country estate on Vermont's Lake Champlain. The images, heavily soaked in sepia, scream of a Virgnia Woolf, Jane Austen, yellow wall-paper memory of bygone literates of yesteryear. Now all I am left wondering, is where is all of his furniture?




P.S. - the model in the Chanel ads is newly emerging 21-year old Salt Lake native, Heidi Mount.

ABC Carpet and home has marked these European mini-wardrobes at 25% off their $5K (a piece) price tag. Impossibly pretty has never seemed so right.

Divine Design

Elizabeth Bauer's new Greenwich Avenue store in NYC is impossibly perfect. While wandering from an appointment in the Meatpacking district, I stumbled across her seductive store-front and straight inside to the cozy and chic interior. Bauer is a graduate of Bates College and New York University and has worked at both Vogue and Oprah's Home Magazine. Her namesake store contains pieces that can be described as a modern mix of furniture in traditional silhouettes. Bauer reinvents old wares, adding allure by using new upholstery, facets and paint. She often tries to incorporate pattern on pattern, color and texture and her store certainly affirms her love for accessories in glass or Lucite. Both Elizabeth's store and her work as an interior designer have been featured in House Beautiful, People Style Watch, Life & Style, The New York Post, New York Magazine, The Nest, ApartmentTherapy.com, Fashion Week Daily and Style.com.
