Say what you will about Cary Grant's acting... but in his day he reflected the image of the classic debonair leading man during Hollywood's Golden years...a by gone era of contract studio actors and actresses. These were the days of image and illusion about who people really were and who the studios portrayed them to be. Everybody had a pseudonym even Archibald Leach. Surprisingly Grant's 1927 Palm Springs hideaway, now up for sale, seems very real and unpretentious. Grant named the house Los Palomas and it still maintains it's original hand made terra cotta roof tiles, thick white washed walls, and hand painted Talavera Spanish floor tiles in the kitchen and bathrooms.
The 6,000 sq. ft. 6 bedroom, 5 1/2 bath Spanish farmhouse sits on 1 1/2 acres on a tree lined street in the Movie Colony neighborhood... asking price... $4,995,000.
Tem que Fazer Obras em Casa?There's something charming about a window seat. Traditionally it's been a place for storage with a cushion atop under a non descript window in a corner of the house where one seldom visits... not anymore! These window seats are made to be visited often. They are fashionable, functional, and provide a getaway in the confines of home. If you have a spot like this make it a place you can call your own...or a place for the kid in the house that likes to read... but not be alone.... or whatever....
Can you sit high above Boston Harbor and find the line between water and sky?
Isn't it Romantic?
A perfectly traditional home with a perfectly traditional window seat...I like it!
With a table pulled up it's a cozy corner to dine.
The perfect reading nook.
Lista de CasamentoI am a big Charlotte Moss fan and this month's issue of House Beautiful celebrates the first anniversary of her NYC retail establishment Charlotte Moss Townhouse. HB editor Stephen Drucker interviews Charlotte and dubs her," the accessory queen". From featured shots of the home interiors townhouse I would agree. Just like the rooms she designs there isn't much negative space. Every inch is deliciously outfitted with unique upscale accessories for the home. Charlotte thinks accessories bring life to a room... they speak to who lives there. Candle sticks, bamboo pens, hand cut tumblers, pagoda lanterns.... add personality and ambiance. When asked where she likes to shop she mentions designer Suzanne Rheinstein's shop in L.A. and Todd Romano's in Manhattan and would you believe it she loves Target...my kind of lady.

When I think of contemporary design and ideas I think updated... new.... a different way to do what we've always done. In design and housing it can be updated building materials, new ways to stylize a fixture. Contemporary is always a more linear look... less is more, everything in it's place. That's my perspective. Here are a few takes on design I call Contemporary Life.
Linear designed kitchen storage keeps everything in it's place...it's just what I need
In a highly contemporary dining room add traditional chairs for a twist
New trends in a small space... mount the sink and faucet from the wall
Don't you just love this highly stylized sofa interpretation?...Mumba
Summer is here and like the rest of the world, our mind is at the beach. We're so sick of the typical beach decor though. For some reasons it's always the tiresome shabby chic stuff. One of the best beach homes we've seen is in the movie "As Good As It Gets" with Dianne Keaton and Jack Nicholson. Have you seen it? The movie is so so (Dianne Keaton was totally annoying), oh but the decor is wonderful! If you have a chance, rent the video. We guarantee you'll love it (the decor, that is).
Here are some great items for a beach home. We hope you'll enjoy them!

Even the vocabulary of design is saturated with French, my favorite being... chandelier and armoire... don't we all value antiques? Everyone already knows how I feel about toile from my previous post. Americans have always felt more sophisticated and fashionable with what comes out of France. After all Paris is still viewed as the fashion capitol of the world. As America developed it's interior design aesthetic it's no different.... All roads led from France....It's tres chic?
