KATE HUDSON DOES BOHO BEAUTIFULLY

Hudson told her decorators she wanted a house that was livable but with a hint of formality, "comfortable but with one uncomfortable piece in the room."

Kate Hudson recently worked with W to produce a shoot of her bohemian California retreat that she shares with son, Ryder and her boyfriend dujour. Hudson, a lovely actress and uncanny resemblance to her iconic mother, Goldie, seems to have quite the knack for interior design (a tasteful fusion of an elegant, thoughtfully curated and artful space).

The spread, shot in a grainy - almost out of focus style, seems to fit appropriately with both the space and the mistress of the home.

Damn, that Sting has bite ...

Or at the very least his Upper West Side NYC apt does ... it's currently on the market at Halstead if you're so inclined to drop a few million ... if anything, it may get you an introduction to the famous artist - at the very least, a note closer to where he and Trudi practice endless hours of [yoga]?

Those windows make for quite some voyeuristic dwellers ...

Super size it! Molyneux designed Paris Apartment

“It’s a powerful blend of antiques and art,” designer Juan Pablo Molyneux says of the Paris apartment of antiques dealer Benjamin Steinitz and his wife, Nadia Fakhoury, on the rue du Cirque. This single photo alone reveals a pair of Greek Revival French chairs, a Korean jar and leather armchairs from the 1930s stand in the living room in front of a circa 1980 diptych, Threshold, by Harland Miller. The marble-top table, which is inlaid with onyx, is 17th-century Italian. (AD, April 2001)

Hubert de Givenchy's Paris Apartment

In the late 1960s Hubert de Givenchy renovated his Napoleon III Paris apartment with designer Charles Sévigny. Givenchy moved the salon’s Louis XV marble mantel to the dining room, where mirrored panels—some concealing cupboards and doors—provide a backdrop for collages by Braque, right, and Nicolas de Staël, left. A Robert Courtright mask faces a table encircled by Jacob chairs. (AD, October 2002)

Jean-Paul Beaujard's Paris Apartment

In the airy living room of Jean-Paul Beaujard's Paris apartment—a 1910 building in the seventh arrondissement—whose ceiling reaches 25 feet, stands a Jansen daybed. The chandelier is 1950s French; the rug, from the same era, is American. (AD, September 2007)

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)
