Fabulously glam

This apartment in Rome, Italy, designed by Jeff Andrews is so incredible that I had designate a post solely to this glamorous space.

"Crystal chandeliers, fur throws, smoked-glass mirrors, plasma-screen TVs, bars in the living room, bedroom, and kitchen ... this is a luxury-loving bachelor's dream home."

(Is it just me or does this space have ERIC written all over it ;) )

Jeff Andrews, design genius

Jeff Andrews has made it to my list of top 5 designers of all time. His designs are bold and cutting-edge but somehow just enough to suit all tastes. He uses a perfect amount of colour, and a perfect mix of modern and vintage. It's PERFECTION, plain and simple. I could have started and ended with that one word. It says it all. There is so much to love about Jeff's designs, that I'll be doing another post later today of a space he designed that is absolutely spectacular. So make sure to check back later.

Another apartment I really love ..... again!

Dark, sensuous, sophisticated this Sydney apartment by Craig Spencer speaks of big city living, world travel and the finer things in life. A night time space it cocoons you in its luxury and provides the perfect counterpoint to that view. More of Craig's inspiring work in the post below.

Craig Spencer

Originally from New Zealand Craig Spencer calls cosmopolitan Sydney home now. His masterful designs are best summed up in his own words. "Design relationships are integral to the journey of creating relaxing and enjoyable places for living and working. Together, our shared ideas evolve to form the foundation of a successful solution. As Buddha says ‘an idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea’. The quality of design is about the quality of materials, a question of proportion and the fine attention to detail that truly enhances each solution." Beautiful sophisticated interiors.

I began the performance/education group 'Pretty Porky and Pissed Off' in 1997.
