Diaz + Wearstler

The October addition of Elle Decor features Cameron Diaz's New York City apartment done by Kelly Wearstler. My favorite room was the emerald and brass kitchen with ebony cerused oak floors. The jewel tone and metallic color combination is unexpected and enchanting.

Samuel & Caitlin Dowe-Sandes

After meeting Samuel and Caitlin Dowe-Sandes in their Popham Design factory last fall, it was great to see their Marrakech home featured in the September issue of Elle Decor. They recently moved from the medina to a 1930's bungalow in Gueliz, the area designed by the French in 1913. With that history in mind, they designed the home to included plenty of French flea market finds paired with their Moroccan tiles. 

KW-Mercer Island

This month's Elle Decor features a house done by Kelly Wearstler for a couple on Mercer Island. It has a much more restrained color palette than her usual work but the dark and moody atmosphere seems a natural fit for Washington's inclement weather. The spiral brass staircase in the double height library is my favorite element.

Fabrizio Rollo

Fabrizio Rollo, the former editor of the Brazilian edition of Vogue, seems to be popping up everywhere from The Sartorialist to Elle Decor. Here is a look at his person style and his apartment in San Paulo.

The Black Kitchen

I have been working on a lot of white kitchens for clients lately.  While they are always sophisticated,  classic and timeless, there is something so chic about a black kitchen:
