This is an iPhone snapshot of a kitchen in a town home I designed. I love the way the onyx backsplash came out. I had the fabricator install the stone so the veining runs vertically.
Fine Art!
I hear stories about homeowners spending years picking cabinetry, appliances, plumbing… but only minutes on cabinet hardware. That’s a shame, cabinet hardware is the jewelry or accessories of a space – the important component that pulls it all together. Here I used: Rocky Mountain Hardware’s: Brut catch drawer pull, Brut Pendant and Brut knob.

Interior designer, Jouin Manku outfitted Le bar at the Hôtel Plaza Athénée, Paris, with a canopy made from 550 yards of fabric. I especially love the color contrast of brilliant blue with pale purples. Paris has so much design brilliance, it blows me away. Photography by Eric Laignel.
In the 1940’s, the hotel’s 9th floor (penthouse) was converted to several high end apartments. Below the authentic concept drawing from that remodel. It was exciting for me, to view the drawing in the actual space today. Shocked to discover the furnishings from 70 years ago were more contemporary.
