Modern in Houston

Posted on Mon, 29 Nov 2021 by KiM

Modern architecture and interiors is not my first love but I appreciate the openness and light and simplicity. Like in this recently built Houston home designed by Laura U Interior Design. I love that fireplace statement wall in the living room and sculptural furnishings.

The ’70s rêve

Posted on Thu, 25 Nov 2021 by KiM

Intoxicating and serene, the ’70s Rêve is a glam rock riff on the sultry vibes and breezy bliss of bohemian life. Restored and reconceived, this lush estate in Ross, California, exudes a balmy calm with a sexy swagger. Earthy and sumptuous, playfully plush, it teems with the effervescent cool of a YSL muse—both ageless and of the moment. A 70’s dream this is! Vladimir Kagan lounge chair, Terje Ekstrøm chairs, a coveted Mario Bellini modular sofa, Pamplona dining chairs by Augusto Savini for Pozzi, Milo Baughman lounge chairs….. Designed by Chroma.

Viviano Viviano

Posted on Thu, 25 Nov 2021 by KiM

Viviano Viviano is a mother-son (Catherine and Michael) interior design and architecture firm based in Houston, Texas, and I love what they do. We create modern spaces imbued with warmth and comfort. Our projects vary in tone and personality – indeed, each is a reflection of the respective client’s lifestyle and interests – but we aim for a quiet elegance across all our work. We curate a studious mix of vintage, antique and contemporary pieces meant to evoke a sense of timelessness and ease.

Modern glam in a renovated New York home

This stately, elegant home in Old Westbury, New York, was designed by Michelle Gerson who played up the elegance of the architecture and went balls to the wall with it. It is modern, sophisticated and imbued with a glamorous WOW factor room by room. (Photos: Douglas Friedman & Howard W. Christian)

An 1800s ranch turns into a funky surf shack

Posted on Fri, 19 Nov 2021 by KiM

This 1800s ranch home on South Carolina’s Sullivan’s Island was transformed into a funky surf shack by Cortney Bishop. The outside is stunning, and then when you enter it’s all kinds of fun with lots of mushroom board walls and ceilings, black and white checkered marble floors, tropical wallpaper and whimsical artwork.
