On My Radar: Electric Blues

Remember the electric blue walls and cabinets in Tuesday’s post? That color keeps catching my eye these days whether it’s in a furniture like above and here:

or in artwork which is mixed in with other shades of blue in the room:

or some great lacquered walls like here:

and in Tuesday’s post:

It’s such a great, vibrant color that really brings a room to life – even if I couldn’t make such a huge commitment!

Homes I Love: Robert Couturier-Designed Apartment in Paris

www.fromtherightbank.com

I was so excited to get the October issue of House Beautiful yesterday because it features one of my favorite apartments designed by Robert Couturier. (It also just happens to be in Paris.) Unfortunately the House Beautiful site doesn’t have the contents of the new issue up yet but the same apartment was featured in W Magazine last year and comparing the pictures, it doesn’t seem like much has changed so here you go…..

One of my favorite rooms ever:

This color combination reminds me of my living room so of course I love it:

I’m also really into all the bright blues in this apartment:

Art Walls, Part 19

Oops. I got so excited over the last art wall roundup that I thought it was #20 when in fact it was #19 so don’t be confused, this one is #19 even though I’m posting it after #20. Follow me? Anyway, here is another batch of art walls I’m really loving.

From busy:

to more neat:

I’ve got a busy day today catching up on projects, emails and errands. Here’s hoping for a productive week for us all!

Living La Belle Vie: Life Is Art

Hi, guys, I’m home! What a great trip! I hope you had fun following along on Twitter and Instagram. While I get unpacked and settled I’ll leave you with this because it is such a great interpretation of my Living La Belle Vie philosophy:

We’ll continue to talk more about this but in the meantime, if you missed any of the prior posts in the series, you can catch up on them here.

Have a great weekend! It’s good to be home!
