Kate Moss Townhouse

Room of the Week

Simply love this room of the week from Carolina Herrera Baez’s Madrid home via Elle Decor. The room style is fresh and crisp with colorful feminine statements.

Upholstery on sofas by Bemmion Fabrics, pillows Lulu DK cotton. I love the 19th century bergere chair, my favorite chair, upholstered in fabric by Gastony Daniela.  The campaign bed is gorgeous in fabric by Pierre Frey.

Celebrity Home-Gwyneth Paltrow’s Home in Los Angeles

Gwyneth Paltrow’s beautiful new Los Angeles home…just gorgeous!

Charming Celebrity Room

Yes, the charming celebrity room I’m featuring today is a bathroom…but what a unique master bath. It is found in Max Mutchnick’s Beverly Hills tudor mansion (that once belonged to tennis legend Pete Sampras). Mutchnick is writer, and co-creator of the hit series Will & Grace.

This charming master bathroom is a statement of luxury. It features a custom made vanity, a brass stool and an English club chair; all vintage. The clock is from the Associated Press newsroom. The gorgeous glass tiled floor was created by Waterworks.

Hilary Swank’s Manhattan Apartment

For Hilary Swank bigger is not better, and her downtown Manhattan apartment reflects a sense of peace and comfort.  “I feel comforted in smaller spaces. They’re more nurturing,” the actress, who appears in the new holiday movie out this weekend titled New Year’s Eve.  For the comfort she craves she consulted designer Mark Zeff to create her Manhattan living space.  Above, living room decor from Calvin Klein Home, as is most of the apartment’s furnishings.  All photos: Simon Upton  Article: Elle Decor

Bedroom with furnishings from Calvin Klein Home, of course, and featuring vintage lamps and a painting by Carlos Vega.  Says designer Mark Zeff: “I wanted to create a place that would give her a sense of grace and harmony.”  I think he succeeded.  Hilary Swank’s Manhattan apartment is modest, stylish and chic.

What Gwyneth Paltrow can’t live without…

Gwyneth Paltrow, Oscar-winning actress, writer, chef, and creator of the lifestyle website called Goop, shares her interesting shortlist with Elle magazine this month. I found some of the things she loves creative and inspiring.

Madonna’s “Subdued Elegance” in Manhattan

In 2007 images of Madonna’s luxury apartment in Manhattan showed up in Architectural Digest with good reason. It’s stunning. The architect was Stephen Wand and the interior designer was Madonna’s brother Christopher G. Ciccone (uh? the brother who wrote that nasty book a few years ago???…oh, well…). He calls the design “subdued elegance” with its art deco feel. Love this room.

The kitchen is sleek and fresh feeling…more modern than the rest of the apartment.

The office is so simple and elegant. And Yes!! That is a Picasso!
Madonna says: “I love the office because I can use my fax machine and look at my Picasso at the same time.” I would love that too! More pics here

Celebrity Realestate: Liz Taylor’s Bel-Air Home

Liz Taylor’s Bel-Air house is on the market for $8.6 million. The iconic actress passed away in March at the age of 79. She bought this home in 1981.

In Bel-Air, California, this house is 7,000 square feet on a guard gated 1.27 acres. With four bedrooms, a master suite, fireplaces in all sitting rooms and dining room, all with access to the outdoor pool terrace, this home sounds dreamy. Spawling gardens and lawn complete the picture. Did I mention it has an arbor and hothouse for orchids?

Qualified buyers only get to see the place, so we folk have to settle for pics. Oh, well….More here

Inside Celebrity Homes…and closets!

Curiosity abounds when seeking out celebrity finds, and what more informative and inspiring way to get to know the inner life of someone than a peak into their closet?  But with this article for Elle Decor, we’ve found some wonderful ideas for an apartment closet (if you’re lucky enough to have one…and a walk-in no less!) of any size. Also, I’ve know women to convert an extra room into a closet…so think outside the box…or the closet in this case.

Nanette Lapore’s fashionably glam closet in her Manhattan townhouse is more like a room one could live in than a closet. With crystal chandelier and a plush ottoman, I bet this fashion designer has a hard time leaving. Rug: ABC Carpet & Home.
