Fabulous French Wedding

A friend recently asked for wedding site referrals to help his friend plan her wedding in Barcelona.  While I don't think it would be right for Spain, his request did remind me that I never posted photos from this fabulous wedding in France.  I saw it in Veranda magazine and all of the details really caught my eye. What's not to love about a wedding at a Chateau with Laduree macarons and butterflies from Deyrolle?!  To read the entire story and start drooling, click here.

ROOM OF THE WEEK: 5.26

When blogger had it's little *ahem* 'accident' a couple weeks back, it deleted this Room of the Week post.  So I brought it back! Because this room really is quite deserving, in my opinion...

There are a few colors I'm consistently drawn to wherever I go, and coral happens to be one of them (you may have noticed). I have loads of it in my wardrobe, but hardly any in my home. Every time I've tried to bring it in, it feels just a little too loud and overpowering. But I think I may have just found the solution...

Given a room all its own, the color blocking combination of coral and peach feels just right, and extremely fresh against all the white! I love the updated traditional styling of the room - simple rich wood chairs, beautiful white walls with lovely molding, and antique accents. Nothing too stuffy or over-the-top here. The addition of the potted urn atop the modern white column, however, might be the final piece pulling it all together. The room needs that dash of greenery to give it a softer, garden feel.

PS - If you hate the peach, you can swap it out - bonus!! What color or pattern would you rather see on the table?

Designer Visions: Wall Street by Richard Hallberg

Of all the spaces at Designer Visions at The Setai, I was most excited to see the apartment inspired by Wall Street.  Interior designer Richard Hallberg designed the space for Veranda and imagined where Gordon Gekko would live after he was released from prison.  He would certainly still be collecting art and living well.  What I really love is that the black and white palette is punctuated by antiques and touches of gilt and gold that prevent it from looking too cold.  Richard says he "selected furnishings and decor that represented the 'best of the best,' mixing 18th-century furniture with contemporary pieces, modern art and Roman antiquities to produce a result that is timeless." Hopefully, Gordon will stay out of trouble so he enjoy this apartment for a long time!
