Incredible Home Design

Dear Christopher Guy,

Please teach me everything you know.  Your work is absolutely divine.

Your newest admirer,
Jordan

If anyone knows his address, please deliver my short note (maybe say it's urgent as I'm a very eager student).

Christopher Guy's collections are stunning and people of the industry are definitely enchanted by the sinuous curves and understated elegance.  He was recently named a 2011 Design Icon by World Market Center Las Vegas and the Las Vegas Design Center and couldn't be more deserving of such an high honor.  Below are two videos which showcase pieces of his collection.  The first is about his design philosophy and the second is a recent look into his Paris showroom.  Your wishlist is sure to grow after watching these!

View his entire collection here.  Ah! J'adore!

Warning: I spent 2 1/2 hours looking through his collection online... give yourself ample time!  The website lets you try different fabrics for their upholstery pieces (better yet: works of art I should say).  I could play all day!

Check this out: Eco1stArt

In a recent issue of Elle Decor that I was re-reading (I always miss things the first time through), I noticed a full page add for Eco1stArt. I went to their website and let's just say, you will not leave disappointed. Only wishful. The things on the site are absolutely incredible! They have a great cause and great supporters as well. The website features artists, extremely talented artists at that, who have the highest environmental and sustainability standards. So, if you find something you can't live without, you can rest assured Mother Nature is in good hands when it comes to Eco1stArt. Win win!

A few things that made my wishlist:

The Tulip Chair by Ola Voyna

The Yin Yang End Table by Lorna Lee

Light Reading by Lucy Norman

Knights Chair by Ben Caldwell

Today is a perfect day for reading.

Although I think the snow outside is absolutely beautiful, cold days always get me the mood to curl up in a comfy chair with a good book. Our apartment isn't quite large enough to fit any one of these, but a girl can dream. Right?

The Churchill Leather Reading Chair from Restoration Hardware (http://www.restorationhardware.com) As indicated by the name, it's made for reading. I feel quite certain I might last a few hours in that one!

The Womb Chair also makes an afternoon spent reading underneath a warm blanket quite tempting...

Ah, an Oasis Chair. Another in which the name obviously indicates a place for escaping the cold, this chair looks like I just might melt into it. (chair from Crate&Barrel)
