A Bit of Summer Luxury

Yes, please!A perfect spot to spend a Summer's eve or two... or all of them! Posted on the beautiful Rive Gauche Rehab today, I could not resist showing these here. From the current Swedish ELLE Interior. This is heaven to me. Have a great Tuesday!

Cabin

on Flathead Lake in Montana...This says Summer to me! And Flathead Lake, a perfect Summer destination in itself, is only a 20 minute drive from Glacier National Park. We visited seven years ago and we'll definitely go back with Eddie in the next couple of years. We loved it there!

So Pretty

From Dual on 1st Dibs, an azure ceramic Meridian clock for Raymor...


Their description:
Italy
1950's
A ceramic clock with a Bitossi Rimini Blue style design of impressed geometric forms and glazed in azure and light green. Ceramic body made in Italy, designed by George Nelson, clock components by Howard Miller Clock Company and distributed by Raymor. Italian, circa 1950.

I think it would look great and so summery on my kitchen wall!
I hope you've had a perfect Sunday. I'm refreshed and looking forward to the new week! Be back soon.

Beautiful Weekend

At Sotheby's

It is a beautiful Wednesday here and I'm loving it! Today we have a few pieces I'm coveting from Sotheby's upcoming auction of Important 20th Century Design. This Lalanne hippo opens into a bar - go see!... a Francois-Xavier Lalanne hippopotamus bar, a Gilbert Rohde floor lamp, a Line Vautrin box, and an Ilonka Karasz tea and coffee service. Enjoy and thank you for visiting.

Summery Pretty

Happy Tuesday to you! Apparently I need to get Elle Decor Italia from March 2011...I could spend a lot of my Summer relaxing in front of those windows. All these are from Inside and its counterpart Outside, originally from Elle Decor Italia. I found Inside thanks to the lovely Nelya of Head Over Heels.
The top two photographs, at least, are by Damian Russell for Elle Decor Italia.

Love Her

Happy Friday to you! I've been absorbed in life here lately, so not very present on the blog. I apologize. This morning, though, I found this lovely painting...at Sotheby's. Love her and wanted to share her here. I'm taken with her sweet confident expression, her swept-back brunette hair, the suggestion of a diaphanous white off-the-shoulder dress, the delicate pink flower, the happy summery light.
I hope June has been beautiful for you so far. We are off for our first camping adventure this weekend and we can't wait. We've been through an adorable kindergarten graduation, and then I went off for a few days to my college 25th reunion. Marvelous time with old friends, and a mini reunion with my sisters in Boston following the college adventures. I'm happy to be home, finally experiencing some warm sunshine here in the mountains. I've been catching up with some of you and I'm overwhelmed with inspiration! Thank you for that. I hope your weekend is great. Thanks so much for visiting.

The Miller House

Happy mid-May to you! Time is flying and I've not been here much. But I saw The Miller House on The North Elevation today and I had to post about it too. The Indianapolis Museum of Art has just opened it to the public. This is a must-see for me...Designed in the early 1950s for J. Irwin Miller in an amazing collaboration by Eero Saarinen, Alexander Girard and Dan Kiley, it is a modernist masterpiece. I, for one, am thankful to the Miller family and the Indianapolis Museum of Art for letting us in. Do go visit The North Elevation, The Indianapolis Museum of Art and Dwell for more.

Wright Scandinavian Design

Happy Monday! I hope it was a beautiful Spring weekend for you. I'm excited to be starting this week, and I can't believe we're moving into the middle of May already. Where is the time going?! My Mother's Day was lovely and quiet. If you celebrated, I hope yours was happy, too.
Wright will have its next Scandinavian Design Auction this Thursday the 12th. It was hard to choose, but here are my favorites...

They are, from the top: a pair of Hans Wegner folding chairs, a (beautiful!) Ingrid Dessau hand-woven wool rug, a Piet Hein Ursa Major Candelabra, a pair of Preben Fabricius and Jorgen Kastholm Bird chairs, an Astrid Fog necklace by Georg Jensen, a set of Erik Buck stools, and a Poul Henningsen 3/2 floor lamp. See all of them and more at Wright. And have a good day!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms!I hope it's a beautiful day for you.

Happy Friday

I hope you have a lovely weekend and, if I'm not back before Sunday, a happy Mother's Day!I love this home and this photo, particularly the seating area on the right side. I mostly love that fun piece of art on the wall and the cushions on the chair. Such a happy spot! From Bo Bedre via Emma.

Marimekko from Terhi

I received such a nice gift in the mail the other day from Terhi in Finland. I won her giveaway of these happy Marimekko cards...I love Marimekko, and I've been studying these bold, colorful, uplifting designs for the past 48 hours! Thank you so much Terhi!

Happy Monday, Happy May

Love this photo. Morning at home... by Peggy Wong, On bluepoolroad. Found thanks to the style files.
