Mark D. Sikes is an interior designer from West Hollywood, California and these photos are of his spectacular home in the Hollywood Hills. The cream and black colour scheme is dramatic and classy (my favourite combo) and his backyard is so dreamy that I had to feature it first.
Sophisticated and elegant, fresh and modern. San Fransisco interior designer Catherine Kwong is all that and a bag of chips. And AMEN for her having fabulous photos in her portfolio (I think all care of Bess Friday).
Beautiful interiors with a marriage of contemporary and traditional. Serene and elegant but always with a sure sense of the practical. A soft, muted palette adds is layered with texture while careful attention to detail makes all the difference. But the decorating element I love the most in these rooms? (And one often neglected.) The wonderful light. Like another layer to the design. Stylish interiors by Tanya Capello.
My love affair with New York firm Selldorf Architects continues. A vast, lofty, wide open, light streaming in, killer industrial windows type of lovin'. Stark white expanses anchored by dark floors and warmed by wood and colour blocks. And the whole idea of descending down into a TV "pit" just makes me grin like an idiot. Great bones brought to life with great design.
The collector's house. It's a love affair from afar. Lust and avarice and greed. I want. I covet. People will talk. Gossip and snicker and bite. I'm hooked. It's a bad habit I just don't want to break. I'm in love. Not the collector but the house ... and the collections. By Selldorf Architects.
