Foyer

WEEKEND PHOTO: BEST DRAMA!

February 27, 2011
  • Share

Foyer with an Hermes orange bag and two pairs of riding boots under a gilt table with marble top and a dramatic photo of woman in a ball gown descending a stair case

I vote for this photo to win “Best Drama” on this Academy Awards Sunday. It is a surprising pick (as are most of the Oscar choices usually)…it is simple, intriguing, tells a good story…yet keeps you wondering.

First, I want to thank Theresa Rowe, a Dallas based interior designer, for helping me along this Sunday. I wrongly identified this photo as a foyer. Well Theresa tells me it is actually a spot in top interior designer Windsor Smith’s master bath! Theresa says she is a friend of Windsor’s and has seen it first hand when visiting! Oops my editorial misidentification…but with this information from Theresa…this makes me love it even more.

A classic vignette…with pops of Hermes orange…a gilt table with marble top…a dramatic photo of woman in a ball gown descending a stair case with just the right bit of flamboyance…a complete picture…and I’m sure a wonderful story behind.

Best Drama. There you have it.

Clearly I live in Los Angeles…all I’m speaking in awards season speak. I’ll snap out of it tomorrow. Busy week this week for me…lots of fun dinners and people visiting from out to town. Maybe some intrigue too!

Happy Sunday!

P.S. Thank you Theresa! So appreciate the helping hand! 🙂

    BRAVO!! I’ve always loved orange. It’s such a rich color. Then again…I love all colors. A punch of any color livens up a room.

    I’ve always loved this host as well!! Didn’t remember that it was in the bathroom – makes it even more special I agree. I would give this an award any day!!

Designer Ashley Montgomery layered reclaimed wood beams, brass hardware, and deep walnut millwork against soft plaster walls, and somehow every single room still feels calm. The olive built-ins in the living room, the arched oak doors, that brass shower enclosure in the primary bath... this is what happens when someone actually commits to a palette.

How much summer can you fit into a few days? ☀️⛵️How much summer can you fit into a few days? ☀️⛵️
I flew from Los Angeles to Nantucket for a very quick trip and I’m planning to find out.
Beautiful beaches, boats, gorgeous interiors, time with friends and one last little dose of August.
Turns out you don’t always need a whole week to feel like you got away. 🤍
So happy to be visiting bestie @francesgfayard and her husband Calvin and my godson Carter for a little last minute end of summer travel. New England at its best. Day 1 was a beautiful day. 🤩
You are not going to feel motivated every day. AndYou are not going to feel motivated every day. And you don’t have to.
Some days you’ll feel inspired and everything seems to click. Other days, you’ll question what you’re doing and wonder if any of it is actually working.
The important thing is not to mistake a slow day for a step backward.
You can keep going even when the motivation isn’t there. Some days, showing up is the progress.
Save this for the days when you need the reminder. 🤍

The best parts of Paris might not be on your itineThe best parts of Paris might not be on your itinerary. 🇫🇷
Some of my favorite travel moments are the ones you don’t plan: the pretty street you turn onto, the café you notice while walking by, the building you stop to look at for no particular reason.
So if you’re planning a Paris trip, don’t fill every hour. Leave room to wander.

Sometimes the problem isn’t the work. It’s where ySometimes the problem isn’t the work. It’s where you’re doing it.
So today, I took my work somewhere else. ☕️💻
A little change of scenery, a different view, a few hours away from my usual desk and somehow the workday felt a little lighter.
I’ve found that working somewhere else can be a nice reset when I’m feeling stuck, uninspired, or just too used to the same routine. It’s not necessarily about being more productive; sometimes it’s just about making the day feel different.
A little workday change of scenery with me. 🤍
Would you take your work somewhere else for the day?
