December 14, 2010

Exterior of a mansion in New Jersey

Uhm…$68 million dollars? Hello?

That’s how much this stately home in Alpine New Jersey is currently listed for by Sotheby’s International. Not you typical neighborhood home for sale…right? A tried and true mansion. Hmmm…liking it!

30,000 square feet, 12 bedrooms 15 bathrooms, 4 half baths, 3+ fireplaces, 5 car garage, heated driveway and motor court, indoor basketball court, wine cellar/grotto, home theater and more…

I think I could make do with this. I like this real estate listing because it is a blank slate…ready to be given the COCOCOZY treatment! If only!

Hallway with wood floor, Greek columns, arched entryway, black and white tile floor, moulded detailing and a coffered ceiling
Foyer with black and white tile floor, arched ceiling, crystal chandelier, iron railings and paneled walls

Living room with two crystal chandeliers, wood floor, french doors opening to a balcony, paneled walls, wall mounted candle holders and moulded ceiling

Library with arched, coffered ceiling, chandelier, wood floor and wood paneled walls and cabinets with glass doors
Gate of a mansion in New Jersey
What do you think of this home for sale? Take it or leave it? I’d take it!

Happy Tuesday!

    With all the money in the world, I would never own a house like that. I’m fixated on barns right now, or I’d build a Bobby McAlpine house!

    I would take it, immediately sell it. Donate $ 40 million to my favorite charities, take the other $ 28 million and by a few nice homes. Wouldn’t want to become a slave to such a giant home.

    That wood panelled room with the built in cases, windows on three sides, and the mantel to one side… so gorgeous! I couldn’t see myself living in a house that huge, even if I had the money, but it is beautiful… and ready for someone to put their stamp on it. 🙂

A great parquet floor doesn’t just ground a room. A great parquet floor doesn’t just ground a room. It tells you everything about the history of the space. The patina, the pattern, the way light moves across it. These are the rooms that prove good bones never go out of style.
What’s your favorite parquet pattern?

Designer Emma Donnersberg took her own Paris apartment in the 7th arrondissement and used it to rewrite the rules — classical bones, contemporary everything else. Her Wave Sofa and U&Me Table anchor the living room in organic curves. In the kitchen, a green ceramic-wrapped island does the heavy lifting for color against all that neutral stone. And the dining room? A Carrara travertine fireplace that turns stone into the whole point of the room.
Curved, curated, and completely hers. 🤍

A little peek at one of my favorite outdoor spaces, which I designed years ago. The patterned tile, navy seating, white stucco, and layers of greenery make this balcony feel like a little room all its own.
I love how much personality you can create in a small outdoor space without making it feel overcrowded.
Save this for your next outdoor space refresh. 🍃

Want a bedroom that feels cozy, warm, and invitingWant a bedroom that feels cozy, warm, and inviting? Start with these simple changes:
1. Layer your bedding. Mix sheets, a duvet, quilts, and throw blankets to create that plush, lived-in look.
2. Add warm lighting. Swap harsh overhead lighting for bedside lamps, sconces, or a statement light with a warm glow.
3. Bring in plenty of texture. Think linen, velvet, boucle, chunky knits, and soft rugs.
4. Keep the palette warm and calming. Soft neutrals, earthy tones, and muted colors instantly make a room feel more restful.
5. Mix in natural materials. Wood, rattan, woven accents, and stone add warmth and character.
6. Make the walls feel personal. Art, photographs, or even a statement headboard can make the room feel more finished.
7. Add something organic. A vase of branches, fresh flowers, or a little greenery can bring the room to life.
The goal isn’t to make your bedroom perfect. It’s to make it feel like a place you actually want to retreat to at the end of the day.
Save this for your next bedroom refresh. 🤎

The right chandelier doesn’t just light a room, it becomes the room. Scale, material, placement. When it’s done right, everything else arranges itself around it.
