Behomm: Home exchange for Designers and Visual Artists

I joined Behomm last week. It's an invite only home exchange for Designers and Visual Artists and has some stunning homes on offer.
This is my page.  I'm hoping to do exchanges in Spain, Montreal + Morocco - to start!

Gorgeous Interiors on Homeland Season 4

I've been absolutely swimming in the gorgeous interiors of Homeland Season 4 this week.
This season is set in Pakistan and it's full of stunning textures and colours.

 
The highlight for me is the US Ambassador's office (above) which has a stunning marble wall, campaign style cabinets, gorgeous lamps + a deep navy rug - all bathed in a golden light.

Love those black campaign style filing cabinets with brass handles.
Home inspiration!

Carol Fertig's Manhattan Rental In Elle Decor

All Photos by Christopher Sturman

Just loved the space of Designer Carol Fertig in the latest issue of Elle Decor.
Such a juicy mix of vibrant colours, interesting textures and objects both new + old.
(Plus I love the fact that the magazine featured a rental. Good on you Michael Boodro!)
In her livingroom above she created the wall sculpture from gold painted plastic leaves. Inventive.

 

Carol's library is so warm and inviting with an inspiration board which threatems to invade the livingroom. Love it. paint colour is Ben Moore Tangerine Dream.

In her bedroom I love the antique suzani on the bed and the paint colour called "Day's End" which helps make the room feel like a complete retreat. 
ps. Yay Fornasetti book on the night table.

Carol's entire apartment is going on my Pinterest boards under Home Inspiration. :-)
