lace dreams
Beautiful images of lace to ease into Monday morning...
You might be surprised as I was, how beautifully lace elements go together with more modern interiors. I'm currently in love with lace trimmed sheets. I couldn't resist getting a set, and love they way they look in my pared down bedroom.

design dilemma
If you've read my previous posts on Axel Vervoordt and Robert Courtier, you probably know that I'm in love with their moody, romantic interiors.
However, while looking at homes in California, where I'll be spending the holidays, I came across an inspiring place, up in the Hollywood Hills, by Belzberg Architects. I think I'm in love again. This presents a dilemma, since I can't imagine blending such different styles, without losing their soul in the process.
It's interesting to consider how the interior style/mood of home ultimately affects one's state of mind, and as a consequence, one's life. Please click on the photos.
Two homes, each on opposite ends of the country, would solve the problem. I could easily envision a Vervoordt or Courtier interior, with it's brooding beauty, in New York. While the upbeat, eco friendly, modern castle by Belzberg Architects, is an ideal Californian retreat.

the dreams of tim flach
Click on the photos for a better view.
British photographer, Tim Flach, traveled to Iceland, India, and the United States, over a period of two years, to capture these mesmerizing images for his series titled 'Equus'. I'd love to have one of these, but would have trouble choosing. They are all breathtakingly beautiful.

tea dreams
Sorry it's been a few wild weeks away from blogging. Work projects have been pretty consuming, leaving little time for posting.
After these hectic days, I'm craving a nice tea break. The perfect spot is a beautiful, authentic Japanese tea house in Manhattan, where I'm heading with friends.
The first Urasenke tea house opened in Kyoto in the early 17th century. The New York Urasenke is located in the former studio of Mark Rothko. It's truly like entering another world. Traditional carpenters from Kyoto were flown in to create an authentic teahouse. Even the materials used were brought from Japan. Don't you love those amazing doors?
A geisha before the tea ceremony. At Urasenke, tea is served in a beautiful ceremony, by experts impeccably attired in kimonos, rather than geishas. You'll find geishas at the tea houses in Kyoto's Gion district. When I visited last fall, it was amazing to see a geisha like the one above, rushing along the streets of Gion to the tea houses.
Ceremonial, matcha tea is richer than a hot cup of thick French chocolate, slightly bitter, and surprisingly intoxicating; like a champagne buzz. There are a few sessions open to the public, you'll just need to sign up in advance. http://www.urasenkeny.org
