It was a toss up this week as I was torn between two rooms. I decided to go along with the kitchen from Matsalen. Its  surprising how intimate it is; very similar to the rest of the restaurant.

If you recognize the palette, it is designed by Ilse Crawford and  I showed the project before but not the kitchen. I thought it best if it stood alone, because it’s so gorgeous and serene with its warm khaki an gold accents. Anyone else in love with  the drawer pulls? I want to seen them in kitchens everywhere.

If the fashion fairy was to betow one fashion week wish on me, it would be to stay at the Hotel Missoni in Edinburgh, Scotland. Designed by Rosita Missoni in conjuction with Architect Matteo Thun, they used the hotel’s design as an opportunity to highlight Missoni Home and expand the Missoni brand.

Pops of energetic color and design materials help to translate the fashion house’s textured geometric knits into interior decor. But it’s those oversized urns and  those fringe drapes that have me swooning (seriously I’m on the verge of passing out- and yes, I’m a tad dramatic).  Anyhoo, Missoni is planning three more hotels in South Africa, Jordan and Brazil, and I can’t wait to get a peak at those interiors. Can you say Hotel Missoni Cape Town? I’m ready to pack my bags!

Have an amazing weekend!

Ilse Crawford’s design for the restaurant Matsalen in Stockholm has me swooning, especially over her gentle palette of warm neutrals. I love that the restaurant’s palette is accented with gold lighting fixtures in lieu of silver, nickel or chrome. Somehow it makes it even more elegant and inviting.

I’m putting Stockholm on my list of cities to visit right now.

If you are a regular reader, then by now you know I love old school glamour. Therefore I  thought it would be perfect if I showed you the glam, boudior-style offices of  the Spanx Headquarters in Atlanta.

This space is unapologetically sexy, but not uncomfortably so. Part of that  feeling is due to a mix of both commercial and residential furnishings (for a touch of home) juxtaposed against the bold palette and accents. I think I would feel like an 1950’s bombshell (Dorothy Dandridge anyone?)  if I worked in these offices everyday. And how could you not?

Happy Weekend!
