How do you feel about this cognac leather Arne Jacobsen’s Egg Chair set on an otherwise contemporary & white canvas of a room? How’s that for a statement piece. What is your most coveted iconic piece of furniture? Hummm, the question is almost impossible for me to answer as there are so many I lust over, but one thing’s for sure… all are chairs! This confession deserves a hashtag of its own #ChairAddict. :o)

Bri Emery’s house designed by Emily Henderson

Has there ever been a home you wished you could just move into with your two suitcases and a great big smile? Well Bri Emery’s (she’s the creative masterming and curator of the blog Design Love Fest ) home is just that to me. A Mid Century revival with teak & brass accents, mixed in with fresh colours, greenery ( I L.O.V.E. fig trees), a cool Flokati diamond rug. Textures & colour accents are key to keeping otherwise neutral rooms lively and this fluffy wool rug grounds the room beautifully.

Happy Monday lovelies!

Êtes-vous de ceux qui aimez combiner des styles et des époques dans un même décor?  Êtes-vous du genre à metre en valeur des antiquités ou des trouvailles vintage dans une pièce au look contemporain? Et bien cette maison est pour nous… car moi aussi je suis fan de ce “mix”! Allez, c’est vendredi… on se gâte!

Bon, j’ai commencé à m’extasié en voyant les images de cette maison en Suède dès que j’ai aperçu le plancher à chevrons. Ça aurait pu s’arrêter là que j’aurais déjà été contente. Mais là-dessus se sont ajoutés la table et les chaises Serie 7 de Fritz Hansen de la salle à manger, la banquette sous la fenêtre, la commode antique (et repeinte en blanc!!) dans la chambre et bien entendu ZE bureau antique et extrêmement massif dans le bureau qui a été allégé et rendu plus ludique avec un fauteuil “Eiffel” d’Eames en jaune citron!

La semaine prochaine c’est de la France que je vous écrirai, car je vais passer une petite semaine chez papa en compagnie de mes frères et soeurs. C’est chouette pour une réunion de famille vous ne trouvez pas?

An iconic piece, the Pedro Friedeberg mahogany Hand Chair makes a statement in Kyle DeWoody's living room

“When it comes to dressing myself or my apartment, I’d say my objective is cohesion, comfort, and a bit of playfulness,” says Kyle DeWoody, the 27-year-old creative director and cofounder of the art-meets-design store Grey Area. Her colorful apartment, situated in New York’s Greenwich Village, boasts a mix of designer pieces and discount, flea-market finds with an emphasis on modern lines, metals, and art. “Every apartment I lived in has developed differently.”- Vogue 

I love every single item of this apartment; the vibrant colours and white walls, the vintage finds, the iconic pieces curated with flair and style, and the personal style of Kyle DeWoody herself in the apartment! I will let the pictures speak for themselves and share with you, at the same time, a few excerpts of the interview she gave to Vogue.

How cute is the Mid-century Brass Lobster sitting pretty on the coffee table?

An avid art collector, DeWoody is also keen on mixing thrifty finds with contemporary designer pieces. “I like to mix modern and vintage throughout my apartment,” she says. “In this room, Donna Wilson pillows from The Future Perfect sit on a 1950s sofa.”

Tom Dixon copper shade pendant light, $610 at ABC Home in NYC

DeWoody found the 1970's bar cart in a vintage shop for 75$!

I love the Nos Da pillow cushions on the bed ($118 each)

“My passion for art, objects, and interesting pieces is why I do the work I do, so it wouldn’t make sense for me not to express that in my apartment.”
