RETREATING TO THE MOUNTAINS!

November 28, 2012

Caroline Edwards' bedroom in Aspen with rustic, pitch high ceilings, exposed beams, light blue upholstered bed, white molded fireplace

So best of friend FF invited me and TE to spend a few days with her, her husband and their son (my godson) at her vacation home outside of Vail, CO.  The invite is for some time between Christmas and New Years. Could be kind of fun.  Last I saw FF was in Nantucket this summer.  I miss her and would love to see her.  I have not been to this house/chalet that she and her husband built…but it is apparently quite wonderful.

So when I came upon this picture of this Aspen bedroom…it reminded me I need to decide what I am doing for the holiday week. I like this bedroom…a guest room in an Aspen home I am sure. Complete with exposed beams, fireplace and views of the great outdoors.  I love the pale blue upholstered bed too. So cozy.  Understated.  I like the neutral tones.

I wonder if the guest bedroom in FF’s house looks anything like this?  FF said we would have our own “wing” of her Colorado ski house so I wonder what that means. Hmmmm….thinking…I am not a big skier but I love everything about being in a snowy ski town during the winter.  Would be so cozy and holiday!

Where would you spend your dream holiday week? Would you want to be in the mountains, in the city, at the beach…where? What says holiday to you?

Happy Tuesday!

    *** Sweetie, altho we were born n’ raised at the beach in SO CAL, I’ve learned thru our many travels, while living in Europe for sooo long, that I am a BIG- TIME MOUNTAIN LOVER…

    We live in the beautiful AZ desert, buuuut, I MISSED THE GLORIOUS MOUNTAINS (& the COOOOOLER summers there), so we’re now in the process of building a place “up there”… so exciting!!!

    Beautiful space. We don’t have many mountains where I am, but there is nothing better than escaping up into the cool and wild! xx

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.
