Ralph Lauren’s new fall home collection Apartment No. One has arrived. It was inspired by the Duke of Windsor and named for the residence at London’s Kensington Palace where Prince William and Kate Middleton will make their home. The look is rich, collected and timeless and Ralphy has done it again so sit back and enjoy the plaids, leather, dramatic deep rich colors and sheen.
Have you seen the latest work of Mary McDonald in the September issue of House Beautiful? I love her work and I’m always inspired by her interiors. It is nice to see her take on a neutral palette with lots of textures for this California home.
The kitchen floor below is amazing, I can’t get enough of the chevron patterned tiles. She strikes such a classic balance within this space. Notice the industrial Restoration Hardware pendants over the island. She also added a accent color in a light blue with some geometric and striped patterns in the kitchen sitting area.
The master bedroom below is such a serene place to be with taupe, lavender and ivory colors to surround you with. There is just enough pattern and texture without making it to busy. The dressing room is a dream with the wallpaper and mirrored bench and gives such glamour to your every morning routine. I wouldn’t expect anything less from the glamour girl herself, Mary McDonald.
Interior designer, furniture designer, fashion designer, jewelry designer, Kelly Wearstler does it all. I have admired her work from the start and have been delighted to have seen her work in person. From the Avalon Hotel in Beverly Hills to her clothing boutique in Los Angeles, she continues to blow my mind with her unexpected and fearless designs. She’s also published several books and is currently designing a line of wallpapers and fabrics with Lee Jofa. Be sure to check out her home goods collection at Bergdorf Goodman and her beautiful line of rugs for the Rug Company.
