Any favorites here?

Sensuous Gray would look fabulous in a cozy den this winter.

Hovey Design

Neutral, quirky and masculine.

My kind of look from the interiors and staging of

  Hollister and Porter Hovey of Hovey Design.

Scalamandre Tiger Velvet Pillow

I am just learning that Williams Sonoma Home

offers a Scalamandre Tiger Velvet Pillow.

This one is going on my Christmas wish list.

(I've been a VERY good girl this year.) 

an elegant new york apartment

Designer Janine Carendi MacMurray's New York apartment is restrained and elegant.

I love how she framed her child's artwork in an antique gilt wood frame.

The deep blue library/den might just be the best part. 

More of her child's art flanking the doorway.

Is a new seagrass rug in your future?

You know how I love the look of layered rugs.

If you are sprucing up a little before the holidays

(just like I am), I recommend this 9 x 12 Safavieh Seagrass rug from Overstock.

I just put one in my dining room and I'm a happy gal.

It's a great rug  - much better quality than the ones I have previously

 ordered from Pottery Barn.

Check it out here.

And for reader Jennie H., 

check out this natural fiber rug with fringe, similar to the one in the first photo. 

white walls, neutral colors and antique pieces

To me, this is the best kind of mix.

White walls, neutral colors and antiques mixed with modern pieces.

New Home for Nate Berkus

The new (old)  Greenwich Village apartment of Nate Berkus and 

Jeremiah Brent (and Poppy) was just featured in Architectural Digest.

I love the ultra white walls and, of course, all the neutrals.

Check it out...  

Unlacquered brass and a marble top on the kitchen island.

It's gotta be tough being Nate Berkus.

Poppy's nursery

And master bedroom with his signature black doors.

Have a great weekend!
