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.

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. 🤎
