Paris Bedroom Redo from Remodelista.

This recent post from Remodelista features a recent bedroom redo by Desiree of Vosges Paris. By using a minimal color palate and subtle cues from both custom industrial resources and Moroccan culture, Desiree has transformed a small space into something both clean and warm. We particularly love the use of grey and black in this instance, especially the grey tape on the mood board! Nice one, Desiree!

Many thanks to Remodelista! One of our favorite websites. Period.

Richard Shapiro's Malibu Home.

From Architectural Digest comes a home of epic Rough Luxe status. Designer and antiques deal Richard Shapiro's beachfront Malibu home can only be described at historically luxurious. 15th century tables reside alongside 17th century mirrors hung on 18th century paneled walls, paired with 19th century stools and lit by contemporary lamps all centered around vintage mid-century coffee tables. Every rooms covers century after century of collectors items. All too appropriate for an antiques dealer, we suppose. Roman, Italian, Moroccan, and even Thai furniture stud the retreat which breathes with light and the austerity of a fort. Truly a unique home of epic proportions.

Artful Patina by Surajt "Bomti" Iyengar from Elle Decor.

This fantastic article, originally featured in Elle Decor India, was brought our attention recently and we knew it was a 'must post' on RLD. The thick sand and lime walls of this 1903 mixed-use former department store apartment in Calcutta are studded with family tradition and Bengal Art. 20 foot ceilings? It has them. Burmese teak floors? That, too. Much of the furniture featured in the images below dates back several generations to a time when the world was truly different place.

This historical home is one-of-a-kind and rarity in this day and age. The article concludes with Iyengar describing his love for hosting; cooking local dishes, fresh hot tea, and discussions about art. We're not going to invite ourselves, per say, but how about it...can we come?

This recent post by Diane Keaton on home design & renovation blog Remodelista really caught our attention. The wide array of libraries, from personal vaults to in-kitchen stashes to ceiling high stacks of classics, had us rethinking our own book collections.

Paintings by Peter Tunney.

Part pop artist, part typographer, part inspirational life coach, and part businessman, NY painter Peter Tunney makes art for the ambitious and goal-minded. His text-based paintings, typically large in scale and focused on rebellious American themes such as "Banana Pancakes," guns, and American Flags, have become a very hot commodity in the past few years, especially since recent collaborations with environment Furniture. The work featured in this post is all one-of-a-kind and available through Shelter Half, but it doesn't come cheap. Pieces started at 10K and only go up from there. Start saving now because these are only going to get more and more valuable! Great stuff.

Cabin Porn.

Recently we've been drooling at our screens, staring at these crisp images from Cabin Porn. Don't worry; this site is work safe, unless your boss has an issue with steadfast, lone structures holding up proudly against the elements of vast spaces. We think we might have a problem, though. We have, and will, spend hours on this blog. Here's just a sample of the true sexiness of cabins.
