Albert Hadley

Last Thursday I was out at one of my favorite shops, Armour and Co., and my parents very generously bought me Albert Hadley: The Story of America’s Preeminent Designer by Adam Lewis. This book is pricey (though you can pick it up at amazon for about $40 right now), but it is one every interior design book collection must have. The sketches, prints, and photographs are absolutely amazing, and the stories told by Hadley to Lewis are charming. One of the most amazing things about Hadley’s work is that it is so classic and timeless. The only giveaways that date the photos of the older rooms are a grainy quality of print or an outdated television set. The man does love to throw in a zebra rug wherever possible, but he makes it work!

Vintage Modern Kitchen - Finally, a Space that Bowled Me Over!

January 5th, 2008
Posted by Becky | 2 Comments

Lately I’ve been a bit bored with design, in the sense that I’ve felt oversaturated with it. I read too many design blogs, I receive too many design magazines, I have too many gorgeous design books. At least that’s how I was feeling before the holidays. Now that we are into boring January and I’m laid up with a headcold, I’ve been able to peruse all my glossies at my leisure without guilt, enjoying and studying the beautiful spaces (BTW, I stopped counting at 6 hand or foot sculptures and countless Suzanis - in fact, it became a challenge to find an issue without a suzani in it).

Sometimes a space just jumps out at you as just right. Although everyone and their brother seems to have a Saarinen tulip table and these wonderful chairs from DWR, this eating area is just right. I love the colors, the funky, unique, vintage-looking light fixture , and the amazing framed piece of vintage wallpaper framed from floor-to ceiling. How great to pull up a crazy modern paisley upholstered bench up to the round table. They shot is styled to casual-looking perfection. Bravo and thanks to Metropolitan Home, photographer John Ellis and Interior Designer Sasha Emerson!

Color Palette: Yellow Black and White

July 6th, 2007

Currently, I am totally obsessed with yellow, black and white, and I’m trying to accumulate the right objects in this palette for my own bedroom (the turquoise and red thing I had going on does not go with the blue walls in my new place, and lord knows I am not painting that room anytime soon). Many of my fellow bloggers have covered this palette before, but I thought I would try to get a nice collection of images together for you to enjoy:
