ILLUMINATING VINTAGE VOGUE!

1960's blue and white sleeveless shift dress
p.s. – Courreges Knit Sailor Dress – $750 (1960’s blue and white sleeveless shift dress)(above)

Hmmm…a little 1950’s and 60’s vintage flair in fashion and lighting. Loving these dresses and loving these lamps. Shedding a little light on fashion and style from the past that might influence a little home decorating in the present.

Could imagine wearing the striped knit dress this summer in the Hamptons when visiting friend AM or Nantucket with FF (I of course am presuming that I will be invited…hint hint…). The maxi dress is perfect for a spring cocktail party with some fab gold bangles and some strappy metallic shoes and simple diamond earrings. Finally, the little suit is so coquette…I could wear that to a serious business meeting…the dress underneath is sleeveless…I like the look because it is versatile…either lady who lunches at the country club style or feminine business. Love all.

The lamps are pretty cool too. Take a look…

Two vintage table lamps have hand thrown pottery bodies, blue and black glazed horizontal stripes on a white ground and black shades
Assemblage – Pair Blue, Black & White Striped Glaze Pottery Lamps -$1750 (USA. Circa 1960. Table lamps have hand thrown pottery bodies, blue and black glazed horizontal stripes on a white ground. Shades not included)(above)

Tan vintage Rudi Gernreich maxi dress with white polka dots
Regeneration – 1960’s Rudi Gernreich Maxi Dress – $1295(1960s full length dress. tan white polka dots)(above)

Vintage lamp with a gourd shaped ceramic vessel base, pale gold metallic glaze over cream ground with an irregular pattern of drips and dots. Original bronze base tops newly added acrylic
Belvedere – Metallic Drip Lamp – $1400 (USA. c.1950’s. Gourd shaped ceramic vessel base. Hand applied pale gold metallic glaze over cream ground. Irregular pattern of drips and dots. Original bronze base tops newly added acrylic)(above)

Vintage woman's two piece suit from 1960 with double breasted short jacket in navy
Vintage Fashion – Norman Norell 1960s Dress Suit – $1400 (Two piece dress suit with double breasted short jacket. Navy blue)(above)

Two hand thrown and hand brushed studio crafted ceramic lamps in cobalt blue with black shades
Pamela Lerner – Pair of Bristol Potter’s Studio Lamps – $1800 (England. 1960s. Hand thrown and hand brushed studio crafted ceramic lamps in cobalt blue)(above)

My faves are the maxi dress and the metallic lamp. Love these. Anything you fancy in this mix of vintage vogue?

Happy Thursday!

Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surr Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surrey, restored back to its former grandeur.
Grade II listed and stripped of most of its original character by previous owners, this 9,000 sqft home with seven bedrooms, and five bathrooms was brought back to life for a French-Swedish couple raising two young kids here. The brief: Parisian luxe with a Scandinavian twist, and a design calm enough to keep the grand proportions feeling intimate.
Covet Noir rebuilt what had been lost: full plasterwork, raised & fielded panels, a bespoke decorative ceiling, and added a cantilevered limestone staircase with Nero Marquina cabochon inlay in the entrance hall. The material palette leans into marble and alabaster, softened with boucle and brushed cottons, chosen to hold up to two kids and two dogs without losing the elegance. Antique furniture and architectural fittings were sourced throughout to keep the project sustainable, alongside ground source heating.
Grand bones, calm hand. This is the kind of restoration we could look at all day. 🤍

A — Warm wood beams and stone

A great vaulted ceiling doesn’t just add height. It changes how a room feels entirely. The best ones make you stop, look up, and never want to leave.
Save this for your next build or renovation inspo. 🖤

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.
This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and k This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and kept us there.
A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤
