THE HOUSE OF WINDSOR - ALL THAT GLITTERS IS A GOLD TRIMMED BABY ROOM - PART 4!

Hope you had a fantastic long weekend!

As I mentioned, last week, I went to Veranda Magazine's chic cocktail party where the magazine unveiled the House of Windsor - a showcase house designed and realized by renowned interior designer Windsor Smith.  See previous posts for glimpses at the other rooms!

After Windsor designed and had the 8,000 square foot equestrian estate built from the ground up...she and many of her famous decorator friends decorated the rooms.  The house is spectacular in my view.  So much to see.  So many great ideas.

I think my favorite room in the house is the nursery.  Go figure.  I don't have kids yet I was totally charmed by this room and the detail in the space.  Maybe I liked it because it definitely was a baby room but didn't feel cliche in any way, shape or form.

This nursery was designed by Theresa Ghevondian who is a designer working at Windsor's company.  Theresa did an amazing job with this room in my view.  Simply amazing!

I love the crescent moon shaped bassinet or crib from Kenneth Cobonpue's rattan furniture collection.  The gold wallcovering from Kneedler-Fauchere, the gold changing table and the overall vibe of the room.  It works.  Modern yet classic.  Lots of attention paid to detail.  Even with the gold accents...soothing and relaxing.  The paint color is Benjamin Moore's White Dove by the way.  The built in cabinet shelving is lined with Schumacher's "Jungle Play" wall covering.  I love it!

What do you think of this baby room?  I'd be interested what you moms have to say about this.  Is the room functional enough for a baby?  Would the decor work for you?

What a delightful room I think!  Wonderful job Theresa.

Once again, as a reminder to those of you in Los Angeles within the next couple of weeks, you can buy tickets to see the House of Windsor in person.  It is open until July 17th.  I think I am going back next weekend if I can squeeze in a day!

Happy Tuesday!

P.S.  Today, I'm dealing with a traffic ticket (oy), going to the dentist (oy again) and trying to figure out how to get a Nbaynadamas sign made right way for our Atlanta showroom where we are showing the Nbaynadamas textiles collection next week (oy 3) (assistant KS is working on this one...so that oy might disappear very quickly).  Don't mean to sound like a complainer....but am whining a bit.  Will stop.  Maybe I'll try to turn these into a positive...here's my optimistic spin...I learned a valuable lesson with the traffic ticket, I love the dentist because he makes my teeth healthy and makes me look good, we will figure out a sign this morning and get it to Atlanta by Thursday!  There.  I feel less better already!

THE HOUSE OF WINDSOR - THE STUDY OF A SITTING ROOM WITH UPHOLSTERED WALLS - PART 3!

Hi there! Hope you are still enjoying your long weekend!

As I mentioned on a few days ago, last week I went to the Veranda Magazine sponsored gala opening of the House of Windsor - a showcase house conceived by mega interior designer and style maven Windsor Smith.   Windsor designed the home from the ground up and then she and a handful of her posh designer friends decorated the home.  I must say the party and the preview of the home were quite spectacular!

The house is an 8,000 square foot equestrian estate complete with a barn. Generally the design throughout this show house exudes modern elegance.

Then there is this home office/study/sitting room. I'm a believer that every home must have a room that makes some sort of bold statement...that is a little off the beaten path...with whimsy and daring playing key roles in the design. This home office/sitting room is just that room in the House of Windsor.

This room is off of one of the bedrooms.  So I would have to assume it is not a hard core home office but rather a sitting room/study/home office.  A place where a lady might do a little reading, writing of letters, relaxing and literally staring at the walls! Decorated by Los Angeles interior designer Peter Dunham, the home office makes a hugely bold statement with its animal print upholstered walls. Wow! My favorite part of the room is the lacquer green writing desk. Quite amazing.

Animal print walls (in Peter Dunham's own Gattapardo linen fabric) and a lacquered green desk...doesn't seem like they would necessarily work together in concept...but they do.

Don't know if I would have the courage to put this print on my walls...but I've got to say, I applaud anyone who would have the chutzpah (spelled wrong or right?) to do it. I was charmed by this home office. Something warm, sexy, interesting and very unique about the decor...made me feel like I had left Los Angeles and was in another country or in a city apartment.

Take a look!

What do you think of this sitting room and study?  Would you be daring enough to cover your walls in an animal print fabric?  What is the most bold space in your home?  I am curious to know!

So Windsor Smith's House of Windsor is open until July 17th.  I highly suggest that if you are in Los Angeles, you buy a ticket and take a look.  You will not be disappointed.

Happy Sunday!

P.S.  While most people are enjoying the sun and relaxing today...I'm working!   Less than two weeks until I go to Atlanta to show the Nbaynadamas collection (a link to the new catalog) there at the Christian Mosso Associates showroom...and about 6 weeks until the New York Gift Fair where I'll show as well.  New fantastic cotton knit throws are in the works and some new cotton pillows (hopefully) are too.  I had to send almost all of my samples to Atlanta and now we are remaking everything for New York.  Oy vey!   I'll get out today for a little fun this evening though.

HOUSE OF WINDSOR - A SMALL BATHROOM WORTH SHOWING OFF - PART 2!

Hope you are having a good start of the long weekend!

Just wanted to share with you another room from interior designer Windsor Smith's amazing new undertaking called House of Windsor showcase home...it is here in Los Angeles on Mandeville Canyon Road. As I mentioned yesterday, Veranda Magazine threw a posh gala event the other night which I attended (see previous post).

Over the next few days, I'll show you a few of the rooms I liked. There were other rooms I liked but it was dark and my little Canon Elph wouldn't do the trick (I should have brought my big Nikon but I don't think it would have coordinated well with my cute black dress).

Anyhoooo...here is a little small bath I ran into off of one of the bedrooms. I really loved the simplicity yet attention to detail. The etched mirror is great, love the white beadboard paneled walls, a simple white hexagon marble mosaic on the floor, a white carrara marble bath with an arch, a little leather stool with nail head trim and tahdah...there you have it...the perfect little small bath!

The House of Windsor is open until July 17th! A definite must see. I may buy a ticket and go back for another good day time look.

Had a nice walk here in the hills this morning and am off to my fave street in Beverly Hills to do a little beauty maintenance (manicure, pedicure, eyebrows)...then off to another party.

Happy Saturday!

P.S. Update as of 7/22/11 - Found out this past week that this darling bathroom was designed by New Orleans based Tara Shaw. I met Tara at the Atlanta Mart and saw her fab furniture collection too. Tara did a bedroom in the Windsor Smith House too. She was the only designer who came in from out of state for the showhouse she says. Beautiful work!
