DESIGNER ROOM RECREATE: A WINTER WHITE DINING ROOM

Okay…my white room of the week…I like this one…a serene winter white dining room or breakfast nook – a place to enjoy a wonderful morning cup of tea or coffee.

I like this and could happily have my tea there this morning! I love how bright it is and I love the floor to ceiling doors/windows.

Keeping it simple is the theme. Because this room is so no nonsense, it was very simple to do a DESIGNER ROOM RECREATE…a table, some great classic mid-century modern Eames chairs, a grouping of bird prints, and nice mug for a dose of warm liquid. Perfect to me.

Clayton Gray Home – Linen Bird Set – $260 (bird prints; natural frame with linen mat; sold as set of 6. Sizes: each is 15.5″ wide x 12″ high)(above)
Where do you have your morning or afternoon cup of tea or coffee? Would you want to have it here?

BTW, lovely dinner last night with JD, AB and CF! I feel like I’ve been buried in work mode for the last few weeks that I haven’t had a proper chance to have a nice dinner out. It was a pleasant eve nice dinner chatter…good sushi…a bit of hot sake…and that was the night…we didn’t go to the Soho House after all my chatter about going…but it was still a lovely night out!

Running late to another photo shoot with amazing photographer Hugh Hamilton (he shot the photo of the Belgian tulips above). He’s shooting a few more of the COCOCOZY home furnishings collection pillows this morning! Then off to meet with an upholsterer about making more pillows, then need to work on legal documents (have been procrastinating on this and amazingly patient lawyer JP just keeps sending me my checklist over and over again reminding me of deadlines and what needs to be done). Another busy but happy day!

Happy Saturday to you!

A soft touch of pink, layered into the space. Not A soft touch of pink, layered into the space. Not overpowering, just enough to warm everything up, walls, upholstery, even the smallest details.
It shifts the mood completely. Calmer, softer, and a little more lived in.
Save this if you’re leaning toward softer, warmer spaces. 🌸

What makes the Saint-Martin Apartment in Paris so What makes the Saint-Martin Apartment in Paris so hard to look away from is the deliberate clash Sophie Dries @sophiedries_ created and didn’t try to resolve.
The bones of the apartment are pure Haussmann: ornate cornicing, carved boiserie, a marble fireplace with a gilded mirror. Everything a 19th-century Parisian apartment should be. Then she placed a near-black dining table with brass-legged stools into the middle of it. A raw concrete-look bathroom behind the grandeur. Dark, sculptural objects on surfaces that were built for delicate things.
It works because she didn’t try to blend the two, she let them sit in contrast. The apartment feels lived-in and specific because of it.
→ Save this if you’re mixing old architecture with contemporary furniture.

From classic to modern, rustic to minimal, the pap From classic to modern, rustic to minimal, the paper lantern just fits. It softens the room, diffuses the light, and rounds out even the sharpest architectural edges without demanding any attention. 🏮
Are you into paper lanterns, or do you prefer a more structured statement light? 🧐

Streets of #Paris. 📍 Rue de Castiglione — Laid ouStreets of #Paris. 📍
Rue de Castiglione — Laid out under Napoleon in the early 1800s, this neoclassical street connects Place Vendôme to the Tuileries Garden in one clean, symmetrical line.
Place de Furstenberg — A tucked-away square in Saint-Germain-des-Prés that was once home to the painter Eugène Delacroix, and still feels like little has changed.
Les Antiquaires on Rue du Bac — A street with centuries of history, now best known for its cluster of antique dealers trading in furniture, paintings, and curiosities and home to @les_antiquaires_paris bistro which is an easy spot to grab a bite near the Seine.
Musée du Louvre — Built as a medieval fortress in the 12th century, it became a royal palace, then the world’s most visited museum, home to the Mona Lisa and tens of thousands of other works.
Église Saint-Sulpice — Paris’s second-largest church, with a gnomon installed inside to track the sun’s position and help calculate the liturgical calendar.
Les Deux Magots — The Saint-Germain café where Simone de Beauvoir, Sartre, and Hemingway once gathered, and a lasting symbol of Paris’s literary culture.
Place Vendôme — Commissioned under Louis XIV, this octagonal square is anchored by the Vendôme Column, cast from cannons captured at the Battle of Austerlitz.
Shops, people, and buildings that make you stop for a second and look up. Every corner feels different. Old, detailed, and full of life. Sometimes this is the best part. Just being here. ❤️

Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment was designed to feel like a little piece of Beirut — a pied-à-terre that keeps her connected to Lebanon while living in France.
Architect Carl Gerges @carlgergesarchitects built the whole interior around warmth and softness: a caramel sofa, a pink kitchen, milky whites throughout. Nothing sharp, nothing cold. The palette reads as indulgent without trying. It’s the kind of space that feels like it was chosen for comfort first and aesthetics second, even though both are clearly considered.
What’s easy to miss is the restraint underneath it all. The softness works because it’s disciplined. Every piece earns its place in the same tonal story.
→ Save this if you’re building a warm, tonal interior from scratch.
