Homes with Mobiles

Alexander Calder mobile

Very often we think of layers as something that can be hung on walls or overlaid but layers could also be something sculptural, like mobiles. They seem to live better in homes where not much pattern and color is used, I suppose that is so they don't get swallowed up by the distraction.  Mobiles sculpture are delicate so they need a clean environment to frame them and let them reign by themselves.

I think it would be such a fun idea to replicate this, above, as a Christmas decoration.  Via Elle Decor

Allegra Hicks at home

After my post yesterday about the beautiful fabric "La Fiorentina" designed by David Hicks I thought it was a good idea to post a few images of the Chelsea, London townhouse that belonged to Allegra and Ashley Hicks when they were married. Allegra was born and raised in Turin, Italy then moved to New York with ex husband Ashley Hicks. Although she never worked in law or literature, both degrees that she possesses, she preferred the arts, studying design in Milan, frescoes in Brussels and attending Parsons while living in New York. She's been nominated as one of the top 10 best dressed in the world, that was probably what motivated her to move from Interior Design to fashion. In 1998 she launched her first line of fashion. I wonder how she does it all!

What a great space-saving idea to customize a dresser for the end of your bed. I wonder if there is a TV in it.

two images above, the dining where Allegra herself painted the murals.
