Home Away From Home: Chandelier Creative
Chandelier Creative is a three-year-old, full-service creative agency based in New York City with a focus on fashion, beauty, retail, travel, and luxury lifestyle brands. Among Chandelier's clients are Coca Cola, Four Seasons, Parfums Givenchy, Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Old Navy, Nanette Lepore, and W Hotels. Though the agency's client list is certainly an impressive one, you know me: I find myself more taken with the interior design of its SoHo penthouse, designed by agency owner, Richard Christiansen.
Get the Look: Warm Minimalism
This living room from Livingetc took me off guard because, while it's notably minimal, it still has a cozy, warm feeling unlike the sterile modern living rooms I'm used to seeing. The modern fireplace stove looks sleek and handsome, while the painted white floorboards give the living area a cottage-y feeling. I love how all of the furnishings sit low to the ground and relaxed, while the colored-glass vase appears to be the tallest item in the room.
Get the Look: Ship-Shape Bathroom
No matter how many times I hear that nautical motifs are back in style, I usually shy away from the somewhat stuffy look. However, after coming across this very hip Spinnaker Shower Curtain ($75) the other day, I was inspired to create a nautical-themed look that even I could love. For this Get the Look, I've decided to put together a Ship Shape Bathroom that puts a modern spin on sailboat prep.
Casa Craving Recap: Out of the Ballpark
In honor of America's pastime being in full swing, I devoted last week's Casa Craving challenge to outfitting an Out of the Ballpark bedroom — either for a young boy or an adult baseball enthusiast. Thanks to everyone who played along!
You can see all of the ballpark Casa Cravings here, as well as the great lists users created with their items.
Designer Spotlight: Todd Oldham
Todd Oldham got his start stitching dresses together from pillowcases at age 15, and progressed to designing elaborate gowns for Hollywood stars like Julia Roberts and Susan Sarandon. He was, for 15-some-odd years, a fixture in fashion, even hosting a segment called "Todd Time" on MTV's House of Style in the '90s, which focused on America's growing fascination with fashion and the lives of supermodels. Oldham made his segue from the runway to the living room by creating a home and dorm room collection for Target in 2003, and also a line of furniture and accessories for the messiah of recliners, La-Z-Boy, both of which reflect his desire to make smart design accessible to a mass market.
Artist of the Day: Manny SIlva
A few years ago, when I volunteered as an editor for a small magazine, I had the pleasure of meeting Manny Silva. Manny is a really nice guy. He contributed artwork for one of the magazine's covers, and when I told him how much I admired his artwork, he then dropped off a print of that cover at a local coffee shop as a surprise gift.
