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.

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.
Watch to the end to weigh in. Clogs or no clogs? TWatch to the end to weigh in. Clogs or no clogs? They are on sale...not sure.
Summer sale season is here, and we are not holding back. 👏
This is the time of year to finally grab those pieces you’ve been eyeing all season. The good news? Major markdowns are happening right now across some of the best brands.
Our tip: Shop with intention. Know your palette, know your fit, and choose pieces that work with what you already own, not just because they’re on sale.
We’ve already done the hard work and created a Summer Sale Shopping Board filled with our favorite finds. A Shopping Board is like your own storefront. It’s a curated collection of products you can shop yourself or share with others to earn when they purchase through your links.
✨ Want to make it yours?
Comment SALE and we’ll send you the link. Then just tap “Add This Board” to save it to your Chirpyest account.
Or grab the link here 👉 https://www.chirpyest.com/s/cocoedit/summer-sale-2026/2071?mode=share
From there, you can shop the collection, share it with your audience, earn from your recommendations, and get cashback on your own purchases. 💛
This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and k This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and kept us there.
A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.

If you only have 10 minutes, focus on these three things:
1. Make the bed. It instantly makes the whole room look cleaner.
2. Fold or straighten the throw blanket and pillows.
3. Clear visible clutter from nightstands and the floor.
That’s it. Those three steps make the biggest visual impact without deep cleaning.

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤
