MODERN V. TRADITIONAL KITCHEN – THIS OR THAT

May 12, 2014
  • Share

Two kitchens…two very different looks.  One is super modern…the other pulls from traditional influences in its design.  Which do you like best on this Monday?

Pick your fave!

Happy Monday!

P.S.  Had a great Mother’s Day with my mom and sis.  We went to the Soho House for brunch – I am a member there..  Lots of celebrities were there doing the same with their families — celebrating moms!  My sister kept whispering loudly every time she saw someone famous…my mom was happily clueless as to who any of the stars were.

P.P.S. TE is in China for work.  Yes China for 4 days!  Last time he went there…he went for one meeting.  It took him 15 hours to get there, he went to the meeting and got back on the plane.  This time he has a longer stay!  Was up late last night texting with him…am a bit tired today!

P.P.P.P.S.  Happy day everyone.

    I like the first kitchen. I am just loving the open shelving concept. What do all of you think? Trendy? Or, sticking around for awhile? Of course, due to my lack of imagination, I also happen to own all-white dishes, good for uniform display.

    No contest, I’m a traditional or transitional style all the way. Definitely the second one. I’m not an open shelving fan unless you have super duper OCD tendencies, only then does everything look nice and neat.

This 300m² Haussmannian duplex in central Paris wa This 300m² Haussmannian duplex in central Paris was designed to function as both a home and a gallery and the distinction between the two is impossible to find.
Every room treats art and objects with the same weight as furniture, nothing is decorative for its own sake, everything is placed with intention.
The Haussmannian bones, ornate cornicing, herringbone parquet, original stained glass ceiling, stay intact throughout. Natural and handcrafted materials do the rest.

So proud of my dear friend Kristi Bender and her b So proud of my dear friend Kristi Bender and her business partner Wendy Schwartz on the launch of Petal Promenade for @cuff_studio. 👏
This new collection feels like such a beautiful evolution. Inspired by their Manhattan Flower District showroom, it brings together the romance of classic decorative arts with a fresh, modern perspective in a way that feels bold, artistic, and incredibly thoughtful.
If you are attending ICFF 2026, make sure to stop by Booth W1048 and experience Petal Promenade in person. Congratulations, Kristi and Wendy. This collection is truly something special. ✨
Ever wondered what it feels like to have the Eiffe Ever wondered what it feels like to have the Eiffel Tower as your view? These 7 Paris spaces answer that — some hotel suites, some private residences, and each one framing it completely differently. 🫶
A gilded suite where it peers through silk drapes. A terrace set for breakfast with the Tower straight ahead. Contemporary apartments where open French doors bring it almost into the room. Classic Haussmannian grandeur on one end, sculptural modern interiors on the other; same iconic backdrop, seven entirely different ways to live with it.
→ Save this for your next Paris trip or renovation inspo.

This Haussmannian apartment sits directly facing N This Haussmannian apartment sits directly facing Notre-Dame on the Left Bank, and @double_g_interior_design designed the interior to match that setting without competing with it. ✨
The approach was deliberate restraint: restored cornices kept intact, stained oak floors, limestone tones, a mix of vintage furniture and contemporary silhouettes. Every choice earning its place. The light does the rest. Bouncing off mirrors, moving through the neutral walls across the day. 🔅
→ Save this if you’re working with a Haussmannian space and want to let the architecture lead.
