Charles Spada Design...

I have admired Charles Spada's take on interior design for quite some time - It's sophisticated, timeless, surprising and elegant.  He combines effortlessly timeless antiques with contemporary pieces, creating rooms that are contemporary yet classic.  So if you have a soft spot for contemporary design, you'll love Charles Spada:

This designer incorporates it all!

I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Gilded Gold...

I have always loved little hints of gilded gold throughout a home, such as mirrors, frames and antiques.

It adds that perfect touch of French Neo-classical design.

My old bedroom window coupled with my favorite French mirror.

 I love the Juxtaposition of rough and refined, old and new!

Luxury...

These images are the perfect expression of indulgence - quite opposite of the previous posts I must say... but I love!

Quite Marie Antoinettish... don't you think?! 

Hints of the Past...

I love fearless design - those who use antique building materials, or those who choose to try and keep the integrity of an old home.  Below are images that capture texture and contrast of decorative elements previously overlooked:
