A tiny apartment in NYC... with a whole lotta personality!

Hi beauties!!!

Another beautiful apartment courtesy of Martha Stewart... Sarah Humphreys, is an Editor in NYC and obviously was immediately seduced by this quaint one-bedroom apartment in West Village. And we can't blame her, see: An 1830s row house, a courtyard entrance, rosebushes climbing the walls, birds chirping, a fountain gurgling {YES, in NYC!!!}. Now, the place was cramped, and after the renovation it looks like this...



Shelves are such a blessing!



Before, there were beige-yellow walls that didnt help open up the space... the living room was repainted with a cool-toned blue and instantly the walls began to recede.

Now, let's move on to the amazing and obsession-worthy folding table here below... Sara used to have a console {clutter-catcher} but it was replaced with a drop-leaf design, so you add a chair on either side and when the leaves are down the table is not even a foot wide.




Kitchen looks modern, clean... perfect.



The living room is genious, it's really small but they added:
1} an extension to the mantel for a better display
2} Large mirror
3} One sofa and a wicker chair, there's also a bench that is being used as tv table...
4} some serious shelves
5} two coffe tables pressed together so the owner can get rid of one whenever she needs to







are you havin a lovely monday????

By the river......

This beauty I found at Martha Stewart's, is on the banks of the Skidaway River, a branch of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, and was built in the 1820's {my fave Era...} as the caretaker's cottage of an antebellum plantation. A decade ago, the McGaugheys bought the house, and they recently restored the exterior to its original appearance. I have to tell you... this place will get you dreaming for real!


The view...



The side porch {uh?}


The faboosh dining room with a round mahogany table offers an intimate spot . The painted plaster walls have a honey hue, and the silk-and-linen slipcovers give the dining chairs a pared-down profile. The iron-and-crystal chandelier is a Niermann Weeks design.





Stella lounges in the master bedroom... hey girl!!!


Special touches.. you know, it's all in the details!







{major sighs here}

Designer Profile: Alex Papachristidis

One of the TOP thirty Decorators according to Elle Decor is Alex Papachristidis, personally, I'd like to define his fabulous and unique style as Cluttered Perfection. Papachristidis is fearless, in his use of pattern, he is elegant, his interiors are luxurious, sensual and over the top. They are overwhelming inspiration!



You see, my beautiful friends, his work has been described as a dynamic fusion of the modern and eclectic with the luxurious and traditional. I agree 100% on that one!

However, says his web-site that some Editors, designers and clients use the word “fresh” to define his approach but I disagree there, his style is anything but fresh... which is not necessarally a bad thing, some of us enjoy the pattern mix, the saturated spaces and the rich palettes with luxurious touches. If I was to define his style in one word it would be "Rich".

Of course Papachristidis’ interiors can be found all over the world from Manhattan, the Hamptons, Connecticut, Florida, Texas and Colorado—to London and Saudi Arabia.With a creative layering of patterns, embroidery and sisals; A mix of modern and 18th century furniture, old world prints, silk velvets and chinoiserie.




“The greatest pleasure for me,” says Papachristidis, “is when clients tell us we’ve turned their home into an ‘exquisite haven'.”







I know this is a style to either LOVE or HATE. What's your take on the "Cluttered Perfection"???
