Dreaming of the ocean....the deep peacock blues, b Dreaming of the ocean....the deep peacock blues, bits of smoky weathered iron (the bedside lamps are reclaimed architectural elements), and varying wood tones reach out to the blue-grey colors of the sea and dunes just outside the window of this bedroom in a new house by @mcalpinehouse.

Good morning from this light-flooded living room! Good morning from this light-flooded living room! I wanted to maximize the feeling of intimacy in this large living room by @mcalpinehouse. Arrangements of several distinct seating areas dressed in feminine colors...cream and robin’s egg blue mingle with accents of rich espresso brown...give the room an atmosphere of warmth and softness. Special grandly-scaled finds which anchor the space include the Corinthian capitals which I transformed into lamps and the iron chandelier from @robuckandco.

Good morning from this light and airy entry! Sculp Good morning from this light and airy entry! Sculptural pieces and textures add layers to this silvery reclaimed oak-paneled entry in Alys Beach. A hide rug anchors the space with softness and strong, curvy pieces include the whale ribs, rays of the sunburst light fixture above, and a richly carved Italian console. While the palette is muted, the varying textures and forms of the pieces give the room depth.

Good morning from this velvet-wrapped bedroom! Dra Good morning from this velvet-wrapped bedroom! Draping this bed with columns of heavy mouse brown velvet creates a room within a room...the sleeping area becomes a cozy cocoon in a house nestled in the trees overlooking a lake. A hair-on-hide console tucked behind the headboard also serves as a desk.

Painted in cool shades, the focus becomes the depth of color in the textured wood floors and the light hitting the curves of the antique Swedish bench set on a custom hide-covered plinth.

Sunday inspiration! Light spills through the wall Sunday inspiration! Light spills through the wall of windows in this double-height dining area with new architecture by @mcalpinehouse. We chose materials in shades of the beach and ocean...pale blue, sandy whites, and pearly grays...to connect the room to the sea outside.

A still life for a lake house where each object ev A still life for a lake house where each object evokes the depth of nature’s palette. Japanese fishing buoys, a poof of feathers, seeded eucalyptus, a chunk of mica, and a stack of antique leather bound books on insects come together as a mini-landscape showing the range of textures and colors an interior can contain.

Looking to the week ahead with this sun-filled kit Looking to the week ahead with this sun-filled kitchen! This kitchen opens directly onto the formal living room of a new house in Alys Beach, so we addressed the finishes and architecture in a way that would harmonize with the glamorous adjacent space. The oak paneling of the living room continues into the kitchen and millwork painted in a seal skin color disguises the refrigerator. A pewter countertop, pair of antique gilt-framed mirrors, and a crystal chandelier add glittering sophistication!

The compact entry of my own house in Atlanta calle The compact entry of my own house in Atlanta called for a little intrigue and mystery. I wrapped the space in smoky chenille, created paneling with nail heads, and mounted voluptuous metal sconces onto foxed mirrors to infuse some drama and a glint of reflectivity! The petite, curvy raw wood desk is home to some of my treasures...an argus pheasant feather, classical bust of Medusa, and a model of a hand.

Heading into the week with a shimmering side table Heading into the week with a shimmering side table by @casamidy which we chose for this peacock-blue family room. I had always wanted to use these tables in a project and the soft upholstered walls were the perfect backdrop to their wrought-iron form and dangling gold leaf tin chains...which even make a quiet swishing sound as one walks by!

If you look closely, you can see some of the special objects we assembled on the console....an antique bingo cage, stone lion’s paws, and a sculptural lamp base from Paris. I love the strong, individual character of all the pieces in this photo, from the chunky contemporary console to the curious bingo cage to the lush texture of the draperies.

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.

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.
