It's a brand new week and it's been uninterruptedly sunny here in Sao Paulo for
the past week, hurray! So even when I'm a little bit under the weather,
thanks to my son, nothing makes me more happy than a bright sunny day! I
love to wake up early in the morning do some home-related errands and get the
"what's for cooking" out of the way and start working early.
Work on my coming-soon print line and on my some-day-will-happen bijoux
line. High five to the modern women who can be more than just one or two
things. Actually, lately women are starting to hate labels or Bios, they
have come to realized that they can be too many things at once. I include
myself in that group.
In another note, my sweet in-laws brought over from the US the House Beautiful
December/January issue for me to see my humble contribution in it but I kept
hanging on Michael Formica's home. What pedigree, what personalization
and what a beauty! I love that home like many people love their dogs or
cats! Enjoy the beautiful images!
The first room above, Julian Schnabel watercolors sit above and John Dickinson
plaster side tables frame the sofa. An Isamu Noguchi side table and a
rope chair by Marcel Wanders accentuate the very personalized feel in this
living room. This room is very warm and earthy.
A very organic and industrial feel surrounds the fireplace. Annabelle
Selldorf's wall lights guard the beautiful Nakashima wood
sculpture. I adore the small sculptural accessories above the
mantel.
More collection pieces. John Dickinson pine table and Billy Baldwin
coffee table among other modern pieces.
Another view of the living room found at Elle Decor Designers registry.
This kitchen is a great example of good thought put into design. Ikea
kitchen mingles with designer pieces such as the Frank Gehry's table.
The foyer above. Below,
Another view of the foyer. Found at Formica's website.
The bedroom above is possibly my favorite in this house. The upholstered
walls make this room so alluring and Frenchy. It's not busy at all
because of the saturated images in a Grisaille tone.
