SOMETHING OLD & NEW – FASHION MEETS ARCHITECTURE!

February 14, 2011

Ancient three toned fireplace with a large portrait of a woman in a gold frame and a bust inside the fireplace

Loving this three toned ancient rustic fireplace. Something so very romantic about it. Fitting…romance on Valentine’s Day. The color is not red…but it works on the romance front for me.

Love the tumbled look of this fireplace…yet the refined nature of it all with the regal portrait gracing the mantel and the marble bust inside the fireplace hearth.

Love blue…I think I love blue more than any other color. My favorite color combination is green, white and brown as three colors together…but I think blue (as of late) is my favorite color. Why not shock a space or your look a bit with some very vivid blue? Would go into my closet and find some blue to wear to work today if everything in my winter wardrobe weren’t jet black…hmmmm….?

As an aside, I’ve gotta say…spent some time browsing through what has come off the runway for fashion week…I did not find much I like (lots of patchwork huge slouchy guinea sack looking dresses (frankly quite unattractive and of no help to girls who are still trying to look cute and find a Valentine :-))…

I did, however, find these darling metallic blue pieces in Peter Som’s fall 2011 ready-to-wear collection. Love the sparkling blue, the silhouettes of the long gowns. Very cute. Fun. Playful I think.

So many shades and tones of blue in one fireplace and in a few finds from last week’s New York Fashion Week.

What other color reminds you of romance? What do you think of these blues?

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Happy Monday!

    I agree with you about the sack looking dresses…and about finding a valentine :). But these blue pieces are lovely!

    Blue can mean so many different things… and be so versatile! One of my favorite ways to celebrate the color is with blue-and-white pottery, which I frequently incorporate into my designs. And I agree with you that the fireplace photo is ALLLL about romance! Dreamy!

    Gorgeous fireplace. The color gradation reminds me of Rothko.

Alexis Banks Humiston didn’t just design this 9,20 Alexis Banks Humiston didn’t just design this 9,200 sq ft Nashville home, she moved in with the family for two days first.
She interviewed everyone, including the 6 and 8-year-olds, before touching a wall. The payoff shows up in the details: a hand-painted constellation ceiling in the son’s room by @willemrackestudio, a floral canopy bed for the daughter, and a hidden reclaimed-wood bar tucked into the attic eaves.
Every room feels like it was made to be lived in, not admired.
