Thursday's Townhouse Treasure!

I have always loved Brook Shields so when I came across Architectural Digest's fabulous spread of her Manhattan townhouse (technically, her Greenwich Village townhouse) it came as no surprise that I fell in love with the impeccable decor and design work.

Living in this fabulous abode would make NYC a cinch! 

PS - speaking of Shields, who remembers NBC's show Lipstick Jungle starring Brook aka Wendy, Nico and Victory? Man, I loved that show! How could they have pulled it after just two season's?!? Disgraceful!

Fabulous foyer

Love the Louis XVI-style chairs and the 1970s lucite cocktail table -- works perfectly in this room

So many fabulous elements to this cozy sitting room: Tub Chairs by Stephen Miller Siegel, a vintage Louis Vuitton trunk, zebra skin rug, wonderful throws... and it goes on!

Kitchen

Love all the pictures propped along the ledge in the family room -- afterall, who wouldn't love to have Annie Leibovitz photograph you and your Mom?! I would kill for my own Leibovitz! 

Shields's Study

Dining Room

Master Bedroom complete with John Robshaw block-printed linens

No surprise Shields's closet is fabulous!! Every girl's dream to have a rolling shoe rack and closet that requires a library ladder! 

Master Bath

Guest bedroom painted in Benjamin Moore's Grizzly Bear Brown -- never would have picked the brown but it definitely works in this intimate guest room!

The drawing hung here in the hallway was actually used to wrap a gift Shield's received -- how cool!

It's Friday, I'm In Love... with These Closets!

TGIF my friends! Don't know about you but this week has been a doozy!

It's time for me to face the inevitable this weekend and flip my closet. 

I despise putting away summer clothes knowing there are so many months of cold, snow, and ice between me and the next time I can wear all of the bright clothes,

But I don't tolerate being cold so gotta do whatcha gotta do...

Thumbing through, looking at these beautiful closets makes this weekends task seem a little more tolerable... maybe one day we can call one of these dressing rooms our own! 

Cheers to a closet filled with bliss!

Thursday's Total Dream House...

From the exterior to the kitchen, the sun-nook to the closet - I AM IN LOVE! 

If I could take this New England home and move it to the beach where its warm 360 days a year (nothing against New England, I know it is beautiful, but I'm dreaming here...), I would never leave!

Enjoy today's daydream!

 How did they know that Turquoise is one of my favorite colors and I love white kitchens... This house was made for me! 

 A back porch and patio are essential and of course this house has one! 

Fresh tulips waiting - thank you! 

 I honestly could live in this closet!
