Interior Design - Jamie Bush & Co

I first saw Jamie Bush’s work in the Architectural Digest ( the one with Jennifer Aniston on the cover! ) . While I really liked and appreciated his work featured in that particular issue, I had to share these three spaces with you because:
1) I think they are stylistically evocative of a particular period in this case mid -century modern and are yet totally relevant as contemporary spaces to live in. 

2 ) I just really like his sense of design, colour, texture, attention to detail and every space has great pieces of furniture that all fit perfectly together 

3)  last but not least all my favorite chairs seem to be appear in these spaces.

Im Back !

After 2 months of neglect and delay with updating this space, I’m now back,

and I hope to continue being stylish with my updates.

With the last few days or rather last few hours of summer left, here is a bit of colour as we prepare for the grey dreariness of the monsoon that will soon descend on Mumbai.

I want to share some images of this unusual flower/greenery/fruit? that I found at the local florist. He said it was part if the Supari palm,(I know no better) but I loved the texture the colour and earthiness of this greenery.

I also bought some of my favorite Tiger Lilies or Lilliums, (is there a difference between the two again I have no idea) but the colours and the perfume of these flowers is beautiful and I had a bit of fun turning these into abstract images see ABSTRACT Tiger Lilies or Lillium which I will eventually, one day turn into paintings.....

Outdoor Chic

In keeping with the theme of classic glamour, summer and the outdoors,here are some simple and stunning pieces from Walter Lambs 9140’s outdoor furniture collection. Reintroduced by Brown Jordan (one of the first companies to create furniture for full-time outdoor use) the collection includes dining tables, chairs and occasional tables.

Originally these pieces were constructed from bronze and copper tubing salvaged from sunken naval ships at Pearl Harbour; today they are meticulously reproduced to his original specifications with rust –resistant brass frames and nautical grade nylon cord. Love the sculptural lines, the elegance and simplicity of the collection.

SUMMER

I started today's entry with the intention of talking about Biomimicry but instead I find that I have to talk about summer first. March is here and its scorching. The weather outside has taken dominance over our lives. The summer has made its presence felt and I have no option to but talk about it. As the weather changed miraculously on day of Holi so have our lives.

Summer makes us think of holidays away, fun recipies that wont put us to sleep post lunch, naps in the afternoon ( preferably not at work ), crisp linen, lily ponds, chilled citrus drinks, a pool, ice cream, blue skies, bougainvillea and the sea.


A very long long time ago March used to be the first month of the year and was named Martius after Mars, the Roman god of war. In March we celebrate Holi we celebrate Women's day and this year Earth Hour will take place on Saturday the 27th of March (Earth Hour is when you turn out your lights out for one hour. It was started by the World Wildlife Fund three years ago a billion people participated last year).


No matter how busy we are or what's going on around us at the end of the day our overriding persistent and un ignorable thought for summer is about " getting cool and staying cool".


An option for a Stylish Holiday: Capri......
J.K Place Capri with a rich history dating back to the 1870's seems to be a luxurious Hotel with great design keeping it well in touch with today's day. This sea side place has beautiful colour scheme and the decor is both traditional yet contemporary. Makes me think of a very stylish Audrey Hepburnesque holiday spot.It has old world glamour but is also verry current .
The toweling upholstered wing chairs in particular are a fun and creative detail. The blue walls are a great colour scheme for a beach side place.
