glam teepee

***

I would just love to have a huge white teepee in the middle of a loft space. like this, for a kind of grown-up hide-away. 

Wouldn't you?

bright & lovely loft

Bright white surfaces and pops of brilliant colour, along with a few eye-catching pieces of artwork, bring life to this Soho loft in New York City. This fabulous space is the home of tech entrepreneur Kathy Leake, who founded Media6Degrees. 

My favourite elements of the home are the flocked Yves Klein blue chandelier in the lounge and the big pastel bunny sculptures on the dining table. The minimal kitchen is gorgeous. (I'll be adding that image to my Dream House files!) I also love the lucite desk against the white-painted brick wall, and the huge world map in the office.

On the wall in the dining room is a copy of Francis Bacon's painting Study of A Nude With Figure In A Mirror, created by Fabulous Masterpieces. The work is so large, it had to be hoisted into the space through a window.

The ethereal aesthetic of fashion designer Erin Fetherston is beautifully applied to her Tribeca loft in New York City. Opening a pair of enormous swirling metal and glass doors allows you to enter a romantic and elegant living space, punctuated by uniquely personal elements and glamorous accessories. 

A soft cool green colour on the walls of the living-dining room creates a tranquil haven, despite the massive scale of the space. Look at that delightful flower-bedecked light above the dining table (by the way, the candles are electric). In the master bedroom, a huge Asian painting, leaning casually against the floor, ties in the delicate shades of pink and gold used as accents in the austere yet enchanting space.

I can just imagine being invited to a dinner party she has hosted, such as one where she provided glittery animal masks for each guest, upon their place settings. And wouldn't you love to explore her clothes closet? I know I would!

I'm imagining an airy light-filled loft space, with lots of white, mirrors, and a handful of beautiful well-chosen pieces. 


Somehow, when you put together the things you truly love, it just works.
