Guest Blogger: Katja From Nestled In
Hi everyone! My name is Katja and I live in Finland. My fiancee and I have just recently moved into our first own home and we are in the process of renovating and decorating it. I have a little home blog called Nestled In, where I post pictures of my own home and interiors that [...]
Guest Blogger: Christina From Down And Out Chic
Hi, this is Christina from Down and Out Chic and I can’t tell you how honored I am to be guest posting on one of my very favorite blogs. Alek- whatever adventure you’re on right now, I hope you’re having a blast and I can’t wait to here all about it.
I’m here today [...]
Guest Blogger: Bella From Set Design Thinking
I’m really glad that Alek invited me to write here! I love her blog and it’s such an honor! Since I’m Brazilian, I want to show you all the prettiest boutique hotel in Bahia: Uxua Casa Hotel.
Wilbert Das, creative director of Diesel and Uxua’s owner, wanted to make a cool place to stay in the [...]
Guest Blogger: Camila from High-Heeled Foot In The Door
Since the lovely Alek is off on her amazing trip to Paris she asked me to do a guest post to keep you all entertained for a day. Getting an email from Alek in which she tells you that she admires your style and point of view is so very sweet and also stressful, because [...]
Guest Blogger: Lee From Glimpse Of Style
Hi I’m Lee from Glimpse of Style. I was absolutely rapt when Alek asked me to do a guest post of her gorgeous blog while she’s away taking in the sights of Paris (lucky girl!).
Being a Melbourne (Australian) blogger I thought that for my guest post here at the lovely From The Right Bank To [...]
Guest Blogger: Charlie From Charlie’s Design Diary
This large industrial loft-style house, in Denmark, is home to a family of five. The house was built using wood, glass, raw concrete, metal and the latest in electronic technologies. The décor was kept minimal yet functional. The house was furnished with beautiful mid-century classics and contemporary accessories in bold colors and luxurious fabrics. [...]
Guest Blogger: NKP From Head Over Heels
Hi there everyone. I’m NKP and I blog over at Head Over Heels. I only recently befriended Miss Right Bank herself, the brilliant Alek, so you can imagine my surprise when she asked if I would contribute a guest post on her lovely blog while she and her honey cavort on an amazing getaway to [...]
A Bientôt
(One of my very favorite photos that I’ve ever taken of Paris.)
So the right bank girl is happily on her way back to the right bank – with a side trip to Spain. For my tweeps: I’ll try to twitter from the road. Key word being “try.” ;)
While I’m away, I’ve got the most fabulous guest [...]
Swedish Highlands Style
I recently found out about Fjällnäs, which calls itself “Sweden’s oldest mountain resort,” and I’m already trying to think of how I can get myself there as soon as possible. (Never mind that I’m leaving on an entirely different trip tomorrow.)
One look at their interiors and I was smitten.
It’s fresh, sleek, cozy, and just so [...]
Tulips (Or, The Death Of A Coffee Table)
In the past couple of weeks, I had occasion to leave comments at two different blogs about my beloved Saarinen tulip coffee table. So I thought I’d share it here.
We found an original marble top Saarinen tulip coffee table at the Marché aux Puces in Paris. It wasn’t cheap but worth every penny in my opinion. I loved [...]
Really, Paris?
Can’t you give a girl a break?
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
It’s Hooked on Fridays and I wanted to post this photo today not because I’m a huge Beatles fan or anything (I like them enough) but this room has such a sweet atmosphere that I can’t stop looking at it. We’ve all seen rooms decorated with pianos but drums? Why not?
The drum reminds me of [...]
Branching Up And Out
When I saw this at Me Melodia:
it immediately made me think of this:
and this:
and they all make me want to go scavenging for giant branches.

Greening Of The Guest Room
For the first time ever, I’m using the color green in my house. And in case it’s a short-lived phase, I wanted to do it on the cheap so I went to Ikea for the two throw pillows and rug. I still want to hang some more art in there but it’s ready for guests. [...]
Think Pink. For The Sink?
I’m loving this kitchen for so many reasons – all the white, the great use of space with the very shallow open shelving, the black and white accessories with pops of pink and . . .
a pink sink! I would have never in a million years thought of color for a sink. But why not? [...]
Lemonade Stand Award
The very sweet Sarah at Trixie’s Table has passed the Lemonade Stand Award for “great attitude and gratitude”on to me. It’s my first award since I started this blog so thank you so much, Sarah! I’ll be passing it on.
My Real Life Desk
I’ve been cleaning up my studio for like ever and here’s the result! Most recently, I moved my massive work table to this corner because I wanted to sit by those windows. It’s not quite the same view as the dream studio but it’s nice to look out and see all that green.
I don’t know [...]
"ALEK's Dream Studio"
There are days when I feel all warm and fuzzy for the internet and blogging. Today is one of those days. See, last Friday, I posted a photo of a home office with the most amazing view of the Eiffel Tower. I think the general consensus was that it was the best view ever.
Well, over the [...]
Talk About An Inspiring Workspace
Now that I’ve finally cleaned up my studio, I’m turning my attention to the details. But who needs pretty details if you have a view like this:
We had a view of the Eiffel Tower from our old apartment but let me tell you, it was nothing like this! Can you imagine working at this desk [...]
Pops Of Bright Color
With spring here (at least according to the calendar), I’m in the mood for pops of color.
The bright cushions and artwork against all these neutral backdrops are just perfect in my book.

Status On The Cabin Search
Some of you know that I am looking for a weekend house. For those of you following along, here’s a status report.
I’ve been doing a lot of looking on the web and we’ve gone to look at a few places but we didn’t particularly care for the areas. So I’ve decided that we need to [...]
An Artful House
This entire house is stunning but what really caught my eye is the collections of art in all the rooms. There are few things I love more than a house full of art.
I also love that the art walls in each of the rooms has a different style.
We’ve been collecting slowly over the years but [...]
Talking Fashion at Coco+Kelley
I don’t talk about fashion here but it’s not because I’m not interested in it. Far from it! It’s just that this is an interior design/home decor blog and a girl’s gotta keep focused, you know? But I do love talking fashion and was really happy I got the chance to do a little of [...]
Cute Beach Cottage
We’re thinking of going to L.A. for a weekend in June to visit some family and while we really should stay with them, I’m thinking it would be way more fun to stay in this cute little beach cottage in Venice Beach.
What do you think? For $250/night, yay or nay?

May To Do List and April Recap

1. Spruce up dressing area.
2. Finish decorating entry. (Photo above.)
3. Decorate studio; organize art supplies.
4. Have the lawn looked at. It’s a [...]
We Go Way Back
This Swedish cabin has been seen around the blogosphere a lot lately and I just had to chime in. You see, this house and I have a history. Sort of.
I first spotted this cabin in the magazine Ville & Casali in 2006 when I was in Italy. I couldn’t stop looking at it. It was [...]
