Sunday morning in this oak-paneled family room whi Sunday morning in this oak-paneled family room which is surrounded by windows with French doors leading to a courtyard...what I love about this space is that it is technically a passageway to the outdoors, but the warmth of the architecture and comfort of the furnishings make it hard to leave. What you can’t see in this image are the television and a cozy fireplace.

In this oceanfront salon, we balanced the geometri In this oceanfront salon, we balanced the geometric solidity and strength of @mcalpinehouse’s dark gridded window walls and coffered ceiling with curving pieces, plush textures, and a luminous palette of silver, gold, blue, and cream. The first piece we found for this room was the romantic Swedish daybed and we continued to layer the space with softness...in the goatskin rug on the mosaic marble floor and velvet chesterfield sofa...and with reflective, shimmering accents...in the bits of gilding, mirrored coffee table, and more!

Reflecting on the treasures I have collected over Reflecting on the treasures I have collected over time...some of them, seen here, rest in front of a large grisaille map of Rome. Vintage postal scales from a collection I started at a fair in Berlin anchor this grouping and are joined by pyrate and selenite crystals, Arabian and Berber jewelry, and an Asian bronze cicada resting on a piece of bamboo. Like talismans, these objects recall extraordinary moments and memories – a reminder to me that there are many ways to see and experience what lies around us.

White linen curtains and slipcovered chairs, art b White linen curtains and slipcovered chairs, art between the windows, mounted millstones on a leather-covered console, and a tangled piece of driftwood all come together as unexpected layers and gently interrupt the expanses of honey-colored cedar walls in this lakefront dining room.

Wanderlust on the mind this morning! Here’s an i Wanderlust on the mind this morning! Here’s an inspiring space I wandered into while visiting the Nagaur Fort in Rajasthan: the vaulted ceiling with arched openings is an architectural triumph from centuries ago. Traveling abroad places me in unfamiliar settings and circumstances, so I am forced to let go and walk through it all, observing and soaking it in. #india #wanderlust #travelinspiraiton #refections #personalperspectives #lightandshadow

Curves on curves on curves! This entry hall is at once spare and also brimming with sculptural forms. Circular mirrored sconces, column pedestals and urns, and the antique gilded sconce on the stairs...their shapes echo the curvilinear rippling of the ceiling. In the evenings, candlelight from the golden sconces and light reflecting in the mirrors of the @urbanelectrico sconces, make this space glitter.

Good morning from this enchanting spot! Pooling ve Good morning from this enchanting spot! Pooling velvety linen, pale oak walls, soft lilac and aubergine, and glints of gold all make me think of the hazy blush tones of sunrises and sunsets just outside the windows of this oceanfront salon. The architecture and the furnishings work in tandem in this house where we devised myriad lush seating arrangements within the tailored dimensions of the paneled walls and beamed ceilings. A favorite detail of mine is the sconce suspended from lavender-colored silk, which simply glows in the evenings!

The rich brown colors of the shingles and their earthy smell, the cool stone slab floor, and the breezes filtering in makes one feel completely enveloped by nature.

Happy weekend from this sun-filled dining room! Th Happy weekend from this sun-filled dining room! The pieces we chose for this room unite with the boldness and volume of @mcalpinehouse’s architecture in size and strength, especially the huge custom mesh and metal hanging fixture by @urbanelectricco and @rachelleehovnanian’s monumental artwork. To counterbalance the steel beams and straight lines of the architecture, we added soft sweeps of white and dappled textures in the leather-upholstered chairs and columns of draperies nestled in each corner.

I love this moody image — it captured my imagina I love this moody image — it captured my imagination: the bewitching light, ethereal glow within the lantern, climbing green vines, and time-weathered wooden door and bricks evoke a sense of place and a feeling of calm, romance, and mystery.

A large-scale painting by Michael Marlow @deepfrie A large-scale painting by Michael Marlow @deepfriedpaint depicting an ethereal southern landscape almost becomes another window in this living room, opening up the entire wall to the treetop views outside. Earthy tones in hazy gradations of greens and browns connect this space to its natural setting, perched high on a steeply sloping tree-dotted hill.

Sunday evening still life: argus pheasant feathers Sunday evening still life: argus pheasant feathers, a quartz crystal orb, and shells from Tanzania resting on a Moroccan gunpowder horn come together in one of our projects. Bringing mementos from around the world into the setting of a house gives them new life, redoubles their meaning, and magnifies their beauty!

Wishing you a healthy and happy Thanksgiving from Wishing you a healthy and happy Thanksgiving from SFI! This living room is a cozy gathering place where a massive wrought iron lantern fills the volume and unfinished cedar walls wrap the space in warmth. To balance the prevailing honey color of the wood, we introduced myriad shades of blue and large strokes of white seen in the furniture, floor-to-ceiling cascades of sweeping sheer linen at the windows, rug, and even the painting.

Soft light filtering through panes framed by scall Soft light filtering through panes framed by scalloped arches and painted tiles...this is one of the stunning moments I soaked in on a trip to India a couple of years ago. I loved writing about this trip for the @classicist_org’s blog and was thrilled that one of my photos from this trip appeared in @designleadershipnetwork’s new book! #india #udaipurcitypalace #wanderlust #travelinspiration #travelbydesign #dlntravels #reflections
A hand-knotted rug found in India inspired the pea A hand-knotted rug found in India inspired the peacock-blue linen upholstered walls enveloping this family room in deep, moody color. The room is filled with treasures (many in silver and gold) to discover and experience: a chandelier with gilt rays, two curious penguins which stand guard by the fireplace, a curvaceous wooden mirror from the South of France, and a shimmering side table by @casamidy dripping with gold and silver leaf chains.

Happy Saturday! Towering glass doors open onto thi Happy Saturday! Towering glass doors open onto this white oak-paneled entry anchored by a smoky Belgian bluestone floor in a new house by @mcalpinehouse. We chose each piece and custom-designed the wood and steel bench to acknowledge and meet the strength and monumental scale of the architecture. The huge white milk jug speaks to the site’s history as a dairy farm and the delicate cherry blossom branches reach towards the ceiling.
