0 a chair {and a facet} a day

Whoa baby! How has this not travelled into my stratosphere before? Subtle, no? The mongolian fur could do with a bleach into cream heaven but other than that, what's not to love? It's the Mosaic Chair 02 from BRC Designs made from tempered glass surrounded by a steal frame, lovingly covered in mongolian fur goose down cushions. For those who have children they also do this glass and steel sofa

i feel guilty for liking the look of fur. i think it's disgusting to mistreat animals and i have more empathy for animals than people but i can't help it. anyway, moral issues aside, peep this lot from my iphoto, i was particularly lusting after the isabel marant multi coloured fur (top) for a while there, but to be honest i would probably never wear a fur jacket akin to these, a bit too much for my style. but in my home? i am a lot braver, springbok hide, llama throw, sheepy rug...i've got them all

predictably: parquetry, cornicing, neutrals, wood, seagrass and fur - thank you interiors porn.

0 skate or die

celine spring 2011

for the past few years i have been on the hunt for the perfect skateboard for my apartment. i have looked at the marc jacobs, the damien hirst/supreme and the vuitton/sprouse versions but none come close to the perfection of these...

the woman responsible is American artist and photographer Marilyn Minter in collaboration with, of course, Supreme. they take this room to a whole new level. for me, this is styling perfection. and i am so excited because someone is selling a set on ebay NOW!

this little mission to find said skateboards led me to interior designer Laura Day and i discovered she was resposible for not only my new favourite bedroom but also this bad boy...

i look at this room a few times a week in my iphoto, the fur, the pink, the metallics and the neutrals, again, styled immaculately. definitely my new interiors crush...

the is the 'Bedroom Of My Dreams' - fur, parquetry, ceilings, white-ness and it's probably in Paris - freakin' amazing.

when i am building my Future Fantasy Home in my head it always begins with parquetry flooring - specifically chevron parquetry.

now i don't have the whole house down pat yet, but i do know for sure that this is what i want my kitchen to look like (left) with tiles and cabinetry like this (right)

a dining room like this...

and a bedroom like this...

it's all, wood, white linen, stone, marble, gold and pink accents and butchers tiles - oh, and Dulux antique white U.S.A for the walls (TY AHS). how can you go wrong?

2 sheepies and fur

fur (real or faux) makes rooms more textural and glamorous, whether it is thrown nonchalantly on the bed/couch or artfully placed on each dining chair it instantly changes the room and - sorry PETA and HB - makes it more sexy...

0 prada

pics: streetfsn, jakandjil, carolines mode

i haven't thought much of prada up until recently. now I'm not saying the fur is something i would walk down the street wearing, these are strictly for viewing pleasure, but there is something very attractive about the bright pops of colour and fur as a texture is always something i am attracted to (see my screen saver on the 'my desk' post) plus,  country road did a great knit version of the colour block sweater which i got in their second run of it. either way, i keep coming back to these images, but maybe its not prada, maybe its just the clever street style photographers...
