Spotlight On: Alfredo Paredes

Alfredo Paredes is living the Ralph Lauren dream; Hell, he helped create the RL dream!  As the executive VP and chief creative officer, Alfredo is responsible for guiding the company's vision of curating the evocative environments that we all want to step into.

He and his partner writer Brad Goldfarb moved into and renovated an East Village loft that was recently featured in Architectural Digest

This magnificent space was a former hospital, and then a music school.  Alfredo saw beyond the flaws and challenges, as a creative mind does, and reimagined the 2,500 sq. foot penthouse.  The 80's aesthetic was replaced - and with an air of history and a modern quality, an artist garret was born.

I love how you would naturally feel enveloped in warmth, and it has oooh la la, so much style

The couple's last apartment below was featured in Elle Decor some time ago.   Have style, will travel.  From store design to consistent product presentation, the vision is pure Ralph Lauren.  From Madison Avenue to the Mountain Modern collection, I'll dip my toes into this lifestyle anytime.

Sophisticated Nurseries

Because, if you have a baby you know they grow fast.  So you know that the pleasure of them being a baby is pretty much about "enjoy it while it lasts."  And with all that said, a nursery is not about the grownups, as is for the little ones to come home to a place where they'll develop their senses, feel cozy, and be happily welcomed. Remember they come from a dark and tight space.  Here is to the sophisticated parents who choose to think about their child’s happiness without sacrificing style.  Enjoy!... While it lasts.

Love, love this nursery.  The carpet reminds me of this. 

Love the retro vibe in this nursery.  I love it that the wood wall is very modern and not so dark.

This nursery is over the top with a Murano chandelier and fancy curtains.  I think the crib has too much wood but the wallpaper is beautiful.

Catherine Martin circus wallpaper is lovely for a nursery room.

Oval cribs take less space than regular rectangle ones but they don't transition into toddler beds and they may turn a little bit smaller than usual once the baby grows but they are pretty though.

And finally the very innovative nursery of Jenna Lyons's baby boy.  This is the room responsible for setting off a rage for striped nursery ceilings.
