LOFT DESIGN IN TRIBECA

When Lee Mindel was asked by Winsome Brown and Claude Arpels to design their Tribect loft in downtown Manhattan, they gave instructions for a child friendly home that was indestructible. Brown, an actress and writer, and Arpels, son of the famous French jeweler Claude Arpels of Van Cleef & Arpels, not only wanted a home that would be perfect for children but a place for entertaining.

The room is filled with furnishing in primary colors and space for the children to play and be expressive. The open floor plan and light filled rooms are the perfect backdrop for the collection of artwork. An industrial kitchen is off of the dining room.  ENJOY!

LINDSAY REID ~ DESIGN IN CALIFORNIA


Interior designer Lindsay Reid designed her California cottage with a Mediterranean style that flaunts romance with relaxed elegance. Reid learned a lot about beautiful design from  mentor Suzanne Rheinstein. We can see Rheinstein's influence intertwined with that of Reid throughout.

The living room has a serene and comfortable atmosphere with laid back furnishings and color.  The kitchen and dining room are sophisticated yet charming, and the family room is warm and colorful.  The outdoor dining area is perfect for entertaining.  ENJOY!

KEN FULK ~ DESIGN IN SAN FRANCISCO

Interior designer Ken Fulk designed this stunning Victorian home in San Francisco.  Beginning with the living room, Fulk decorated each room with a black and white color palette, using pops of color here and there.

The kitchen and the dining room are so perfect.  The glass table in the dining room and the marble in the kitchen are show stoppers.  Fulk used black on the molding and doors which adds a high level of sophistication.

No surprise that it was love at first sight for me because so there is so much Ralph here, from the crocodile paper around the fireplace, to the stripe paper in the bedroom.  ENJOY!









This is a must read in the June 2011 issue of House Beautiful.

See you soon,
