Currently Loving...

Tony Duquette. His work has inspired many designers since 1935, when he was asked to design the interior of Bullock's department store, while still attending art school. Duquette's furniture and decor is still produced and sold via Baker Furniture and Remains Lighting and is currently being featured on One Kings Lane. His designs are truly one of a kind and are pieces you may have seen and without giving a thought as to who was behind them. Picture here are some of of his work that I find absolutely fascinating.







Duquette had such an eclectic style that it transcended from Asian, Indian, modern, and numerous other styles.

Hollywood Glam

Last night I snuggled in while the blustery wind blew outside and watched "A Single Man". It was an amazing movie in itself featuring Colin Firth and Julianne Moore. Set in the 60s in Santa Monica, CA, it featured the most beautiful architecture and captured the essence of true Hollywood glam. A set designed so elegantly, I feel Woodson & Rummerfield would be proud.
First up, is Colin's character, George's home. Absolutely impectable architecture by John Lautner was the backdrop for this gorgeous set.




Now on to Julianne's character, Charlie's home. The interiors of this home were my personal favorite. Just look at that sofa!



Yes, I'll take this as my powder room please!

I found out the home is now on the market selling for 1.495 million... any takers?
