Chic at Work

There are a lot of important issues going on in the world but the press is jumping all over the fact that President Obama had the Oval Office redecorated recently.  Margaret Russell, the new editor in chief of Architectural Digest, even made an appearance on The Today Show to comment of the room.  She hoped that it would bring attention to the design industry which has still not fully recovered and also to all the American companies whose products were used in the space.  Every president has redecorated the Oval Office to suit their needs and style.  How would you like it if you started a new job and had to live with the office decor of the person before you?  I don't think it would be very fun.  Since we spend at least 40 hours working in our office and probably more, why would you not want it to be the most inspiring place?  I'm fascinated by the office of creative people and have included many of them here.  I'm still looking for Carolina Herrera and Oscar de la Renta!  I bet theirs are beyond chic! Enjoy!

Bright Ideas: Fireplace Mantels

Your mantel and fireplace are usually the key focal points in your living room and you want them to make a statement. These fireplace mantels add character to your wall and raise your eye level up. Place a large mirror on the mantel to create even more depth to your room. Voila!
Fireplace mantels
Either a fireplace surround or shelf will make a dramatic change to the look of your room. The warm tones in the wood also give an inviting and comfortable feel.

Do you need a large piece of art to display over your mantel?
such as my large giclee on canvas: "Caribbean Time".

Mixa guld och silver

Det känns kul och lite nytt att mixa silver och guld och det är trendingt värre med annorlunda kombinationer och blandningar som förr var lite tabu. Även guld till ljus grålila känns som en ny kombination. Eva Lindh har verkligen fått till en riktigt glammig filmstjärnelook med både silver och guld i sin styling för Borås Tapeter. Bilder från Eva Lindh, fotograf Dan Holmqvist.

Ps. Min mamma har varit på jakt efter silvriga höga krukor/vaser (cylinderformade eller fyrkantiga) liknande de på bilden. Någon som vet var man kan få tag i sådana?
