Montage: 27 Little Boys’ Bedrooms

As my friend (and new interior design client) starts thinking about transitioning her two-year-old to a big boy bed (baby #2 is due in August), we’ve been exploring cute non-crib rooms for kids. I have a lot of photos of great rooms with two twin beds, but I’m holding those back for another time. These rooms are one-bed-only spaces, but include a mix of toddler beds, twins, and doubles. Also, you won’t find any tired, kitschy kid themes here either. Sports bedrooms, sailboat bedrooms, no way. A well-designed room with human decor is the way to go. A few might look familiar, but hopefully there are plenty of new rooms too.

Montage: 47 Coffee/Cocktail Tables

Now that our living room is habitable again (aside from the two extra dining tables taking up half the space), I’ve decided to try out the Heywood-Wakefield coffee table with revolving top that we salvaged from my husband’s grandparents house. I had initially been thinking of an airy brass and glass piece, to work with the pair of atomic ball and brass-plated vintage lamps from eBay and yet to be chosen future chandelier, but this one looks pretty good.

It works nicely with our Petrie sofa, which has similar lines to the original 1960s pieces his grandparents used to furnish the house. (Too bad our sofa is uncomfortable. Actually, it’s fine for cocktails, but not conducive to lying around with a laptop. Which do you think I spend more time doing?

Here are 49 living rooms with various styles of coffee table (or cocktail table, I guess the term is interchangeable). If you’re working on figuring out what type of design will work for you, these images will provide some ideas.

Montage: 32 Rooms with Bar Carts and Bars

Somebody I know is having a birthday soon, and I know he’d really like to set up a bar. Here’s some inspiration. If he’s lucky, I may just get my act together and start the process. I know the perfect spot for it.

Design Diary: Aerin Lauder’s Aspen Ski House

I have a thing for Erin Lauder; a serious girl crush, made more tangible by the fact I met her a couple of times at parties through tenuous friends of friends connections. These days, our paths are never likely to cross. Still, I admire her exquisite, understated taste. When I saw her Apsen house in Vogue, in its luxuriously simple glory, I thought “These are the most perfect interiors I have ever seen.”

The house, which Lauder bought in 2009, was relatively new. She hired architect/interior designer Daniel Romualdez, who also did Tory Burch’s Manhattan apartment, to customize with a bit of character. Every room is painted white, but walls lined in reclaimed cypress boards and wire-brushed oak. Danish modern and solid American chairs, appropriately draped with fur throws, mingle with glossy George Nakashima tables.

Although we don’t get a glimpse of these, there are baskets of shearling slippers from L.L. Bean around the house and guest beds are outfitted with plain white linens from Calvin Klein. Again, no kitchen or dining shots, but we’re told her tableware is rustic white china from Calvin Klein as well as pieces from her secret source in Austria. Napkins are country-style—sage greens, cream, rough linens—which complement the big wooden bowls she buys at Privet House in Warren, Connecticut. Perfection.

Aerin Lauder, the epitome of cozy cool, in Daryl K leather pants, chunky cable-knit Burberry sweater, and shearling-lined L.L. Bean style duck boots.
