it’s such a treat when the mailman brings new magazines…this week, some yummy ones arrived:
house beautiful (12/2007) on page 24, “colors for coziness”: sherwin williams’s humble gold #6380 is the headliner here. my talented and tasteful friend, interior designer robin selberg, has used that color beautifully for years! (the fine editorial staff at hb just didn’t know.) on page 106 is a pair of gorgeous side tables by memphis furniture designer amy howard…rubbed-down pale gray-blue with gold leaf. so beautiful! and on page 72 is an entrance hall with hand-painted chinoiserie/chippendale walls. i’ve just ordered a stencil to acheive that same effect, and will post photos soon.
elle decor (12/2007, # 142) “the transformers”, beginning on page 127, features a gold-leafed ceiling in an entry hall, and scarlet-lacquered walls in a dining room. i’m ready when you are.
house & garden (12/2007: alas, the last issue!) aerin lauder’s home, beginning on page 90, is nothing but stunning. her mix of saturated colors, creamy whites, and blue & white pattern on the walls throughout, is gorgeous. i’m starting my living room walls tomorrow…i want them to look just like her study. (of course i have a few things to finish up first.)
