I thought this was a really great interview with the fun and talented Interior Designer Ghislaine Viñas on David Stark’s Blog.
As talented as she is, she tells in the interview : “actually I don’t really like designing for myself because I can never make up my mind – I am my own worst client”, which is exactly the same way I feel about designing for myself. Hearing that just made me feel good.
Here’s one to add to your coffee table book collection: Photographer Martyn Thompson ‘Interiors’. Beautifully shot interiors of the homes and creative spaces of designers John Derian and Thomas O’Brien to Achille Castiglioni, Hella Jongerius, Hotelier Sean McPhearson and Dave Alhadef, owner of The Furture Perfect.

I’ve had this article from NY Times.com open on a tab on my computer for like a month. Not really knowing what to do with it, until now. I want to share it with you.
It’s the home of Mike Meiré “the German artist and art director, whose clients include companies like Dornbracht, Mini and Artek as well as…magazines like 032c, Garage and Kid’s Wear. His apartment, is on the fourth floor of a turn-of-the-century building in Cologne’s Belgian Quarter“. He lives here with his wife, Michelle Elie, a jewelry designer and their two sons. It’s such a fab space. A little too much stuff for my taste, but still love it and the art none the less.

It is with pleasure that I share with you the recently completed Roffoni-Graham residence designed by my good friend David McCauley and featured in the latest AD France (French Architectural Digest). The home located in Beverly Hills was built and designed by modernist architect Richard Skinner in 1963. The article, written by Mallery Roberts Morgan, describes how David was able to marry the two differential styles of the couple – a “minimalist’s dream” mixed with organic California “70s style”.
