A GOLDEN PIG ON A FIREPLACE MANTEL MAKES THIS FRIDAY GOOD!

Cozy living room with bright walls, upholstered armchairs and sofa, montage of photos over the fireplace mantel and a gold Harry Allen Bank in the Form of a Pig

Happened upon this photo from London photographer James Merrell. I liked this simple and attainable living room; affordable looking furniture, bright walls, cozy looking upholstered armchairs and sofa, clever use of a montage of photos over the fireplace mantel…AND….MY PIG!!!

This makes this Friday extra good…I love this gold Harry Allen posh piggy bank design called Bank in the Form of a Pig.

I have this pig in silver and I love it. I keep it in my office. For some reason it cheers me up whenever I see it.

Just made my day…to find my pig buried in a photo on Good Friday. Now that I’ve amused myself with this find…I think I will go do some substantive good on this Friday and go be nice to people who could use some “nice”!

    Love this casual chic look – the photos above the mantle rock – and yes the piggie is amazing! (I like the silver way better).

    I’m just going through all of your archives and found this one that I just HAD to comment about!

    This gold pig was featured in the movie 27 Dresses, with Katherine Heigl and James Marsden. They’re registering for her sister when he scans this, and I’m pretty sure he meant it to be funny! (At least *I* thought it was funny! But then, he’s so adorable that I just laugh and sigh wistfully at all of his antics! LOL)

Did you know one Sunday a month, the Champs-ÉlyséeDid you know one Sunday a month, the Champs-Élysées closes to traffic entirely?
No cars. Just people, walking straight down the center with the Arc de Triomphe ahead. Then I walked home over The Seine. It had just rained, and the sky was doing something extraordinary. And of course, the Eiffel Tower showed up right on cue.
Paris on a quiet Sunday is something else. 🖤

This St Germain apartment, designed by Félix Millo This St Germain apartment, designed by Félix Millory @felixmillory , is defined by two things: a tightly controlled material palette and a sculptural art collection that runs through every room without exception.
Travertine frames every doorway. Dark smoked oak covers the joinery and cabinetry. Grey marble runs across the kitchen counters and island. Within that framework, figurative sculptures on the shelves, a large totemic piece at the entrance, stone forms on the dining table, a large-format artwork in the kitchen. Every room has at least one object that demands your attention. 🗿
→ Save this if you’re designing around a sculpture collection.
