today's brittish place ❤

After my previous post, which is totally useless and has nothing to do with this blog but I thought it would be somethin funny to do ;) [still cracking with that Brendan Fraser look-alike LOLs]

It's time to get down to our business of feeding our Passion for Beautiful Things.

I am totally obsessing with today's brittish place {yeah, again} You see, the Apsley house, is definitely where Holmes and I would live happily ever after... it has areas that are dark, a little gothic, decadent and luxurious and it has areas like the kitchen, the amazing white bathroom and the yard, which have this light and breezy feeling... totally perfect for us.

Just realized I need an image of Tony Montana pretty badly...

The Eames Lounge in that dark place is driving me so crazy, I want to be there so bad!

How about some contrast!!???

Chandelier? yes please.

stunning.

They have had more than seventy projects published in such publications as the New York Times, Architectural Digest, House Beautiful, House & Garden, World of Interiors, and Elle Decor. {not bad uh???}


Together, they are heralded as “Decorating's Dynamic Duo” by House Beautiful magazine... they are best known for their great diversity of styles in a grand scale. Some samples of their stunning work here!

Check out their full Portfolio at the Diamond Baratta Design website :)

My fave is definitely that tub, and the kitchen... adorbs!

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"???
