Geometric Chandelier for the Dinning Room

 Hello!

Everyone knows Sex and the City and Gossip Girl are a huge source of inspiration for clothes and fashion. But you remember Carry saying in S&C I "she left clothes for furniture"? It's totally true! Decor are at least as important as fashion in S&C movies. 

Remember this dinning room? Amazing!
 
I especially like the ceiling lamp. I think it makes the room (also the outstanting backsplach tiles).

In Gossip Girl I L.O.V.E. the Bass-Van der Woodsen penthouse. I spoke about Serena's bedroom here, but the living room is quite amazing too. Both were designed by Christina Tonkin.

I am very much inspired by the suspension above Lily's desk (I need to find the reference).




I think suspensions are a very good way to create a chic and unique space. I've been looking on ebay for a geometric vintage chandelier and I found the same as  Gino Sarfatti's lightolier.


This suspension is identified authentic and was sold 500$. (I bought mine 116 euros, so I think I was a good deal).

At first, I was thinking for the sleeping room, like in the pic below.


Then I though it could look good in the entry way :

 But right now, I am pretty sure I want it for the dinning room. What do you think?

The suspension above and two last suspensions bellow are A.M.A.Z.I.N.G . The price is on demand (!) on Delighfull.eu.

The store has an interesting blog on lightings.

Patterns Week : Polka Dots



Polka dots....

I'm a big big fan of polka dots for clothes, but I think they can be very cheesy for home decor.
However, in some case, they can be very sexy!

You probably remember this room :

Oh yes! The amazing Serena's bedroom in gossip girl. I don't find the reference anymore, but I read the huge headboard was a DIY of the stage decorator. It was actually pretty cheap.

So yes, polka dots, even for home decor can be sexy! For example :

1. Ikat polka dots

 Ikat is an Indonesian dyeing technique used to pattern textiles, a bit similar to tie-dye. I think you can find Ikats in Thailand, so I hope I'll find some.

Madeline Weinrib has a very stunning collection.
