Montage: Adler Bamboos. Others Too.

In order to redeem myself, or at least prove that bamboo really is a style statement worth making, I’ve collected some chic examples, including two rooms designed by Jonathan Adler. I so love his lime Chinese Chippendale chairs. I think they’d be great in my dining room. A lot of these faux bamboo pieces have become really trendy, thanks to Kelly Wearstler and her dedicated followers of the Hollywood Regency style. Maybe too trendy?

If you’ve decided you love the look, here are a few fab finds.

Rooms: Jonathan Adler, Jonathan Adler, unidentified Boston area designer, Domino, Erin Gates, unidentified, Architectural Digest, Urban Source Chicago.

Furniture: Pieces, Pieces, Jonathan Adler, Main Street Fine Art & Antiques, Design Your Walls, Williams Sonoma Home.

Montage: For the Birds

Yesterday’s spring preview was heavenly. The boys were ecstatic to be at the playground; they ran all the way. Newbury Street showed signs of life, with bare-legged beauties toting shopping bags. It’s back to being chilly today, so I thought a sampling of bird-filled rooms could keep us whistling.

Montage: From Boho to Bollywood

Boho chic may be as passé as Sienna Miller’s latest affair but Hollywood’s love affair with films à la India (c’est toi “Slumdog Millionaire”) [see this recent WSJ article for more Hollywood/Bollwyood collabs], I’m thinking designers will be tempted by the colors, forms, iconography, and overall free-spiritedness of South Asia culture and style. Here are some photos plucked from the pages of beloved magazines and blogs showcasing a strong infusion of hippie chick goes to Mumbai with grace and restraint.

Montage: Wallpaper Behind the Bed

If you follow design trends at all, you know that wallpaper has made a comeback. Never one to let a style slide by, I’ve decided to wallpaper the wall behind my bed. The whole room needs help, so it’s the perfect opportunity to play. Here are some inspirations. Tomorrow I’ll show you some swatches (and sources too).
