NY Times: Jamie Drake's Temporary Rental

I love the chairs and flokati rug.

Jamie Drake, interior designer to the likes of Michael Bloomberg and Madonna, managed to decorate his temporary condominium at the cost of $19,400.  The costs include paint, the silk taffeta window treatments, silk pillows, ceiling lights, and the reupholstering of several pieces of furniture. 
  

The desk lamps are from Artemide Tolomeo.

The green wall is Forest Moss by Benjamin Moore.  The pillows are from ABC Home.

The hand chair brings new meaning every time you sit down.

When you've got views like that, you definitely want as much seating as possible facing out towards the windows.

Top Chef Masters: Houston's own Monica Pope!

Monica Pope...Top Chef?

Houston's own, Monica Pope, will be battling it out on Bravo's Top Chef Masters: Season 2.  The James Beard Award nominee is the chef/owner of the high acclaimed t'afia. She has been immensely generous in helping out High Fashion Home with staff and food for several of our charity events.  Top Chef happens to be one of my favorite shows. I'm always amazed how these chefs can spontaneously conjure up such a diverse set of delectable dishes each and every episode.   Monica Pope is one of Houston's most decorated chefs, so expect great things when season 2 starts on April 7th.

Also, Monica hosts the Midtown Farmer's Market at t'afia every Saturday.  A dedicated following comes out every week, rain or shine, to experience a wonderful home-grown market.   Monica offers a free cooking class during the Market.  Free cooking classes from a Top Chef....sign me up!  Check out her great cooking blog too!

Kelly Wearstler Returns to the Avalon!

Kelly Wearstler is not my obsession, just a passion. In the February 2010 issue of Lonny Magazine, they took an in-depth look at Kelly Wearstler bringing mid-century, Italian flair into the Avalon Hotel. Wearstler did the original interior design when her husband, Brad Korzen, originally redeveloped this 1940's hotel. To celebrate the 10 year anniversary of this Beverly Hills hideaway, Wearstler was back at work updating this chic boutique hotel that originally helped put her on the national interior design map. Check out some of the breathtaking pics as Wearstler weaves her decorating magic.

The blue terrazzo is unbelievably beautiful. The bar stools with the gold plating exude class and sophistication.

Love the chairs.

A lounge seating area that functionally allows every patron to have their own seat.

I just liked how the calm mood is evoked in this setting.


The colors, natural light, and clean decor makes this the ideal place for a cafe.


I'm blown away by the crackled glass base detailing. That is a dining set that I would pay some serious money for.

Lounge chairs that are fully padded in white.

It is amazing how true artist draw their inspiration.

The wallpaper is ridiculously cool. I spy the Cora Floor Lamp in the corner.
