<span class="m_-5222526714256777373gmail-notranslate">There is elegance
and then there is French elegance furthermore if it comes in the form of
a Chateau completely restored respecting its history and functioning as
a hotel.

is located in the Luberon region of Provence, France and it appears as
time has not passed it by since it retains a luxury that is discreet and
classic while offering modern amenities
and excellent food. My family and I had the joy of staying at Domain
de Fontenille for a weekend last year during our two week pilgrimage of
excellent cuisine and wine tasting in The South of France. The hotel is
conveniently located only 30 minutes’ drive
from Aix-en-Provence. The Domain has only 17 rooms which makes it even
more enjoyable and more of a personal experience in lieu of more
crowded and busy hotels.
</span>The beautiful property is situated amid Provencal hills on an
idyllic park setting with green lawns, gravel pathways dotted with
terracotta planted topiaries, flower gardens, century old trees and
cypress pine.

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"An imaginary, dreamlike journey where eras mingle and time
stops. A noble, reinvented house dating from the 18th century, protected by
centenary cedars, surrounded by springs and woods. Mirrors reflect back childhood memories and the sweetness of Provence..."

<span class="m_-5222526714256777373gmail-notranslate">You know that
excellence and beauty is going to be the result when the owners of
Domain de Fontenille are a former fashion CEO and a Paris and Brussels
gallery owner. As a consequence the decor is perfectly in-sync with the
18th century chateau with modern art in every room and public spaces
from </span>
La Galerie Particulière, Paris-Brussels. <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://www.architecture-lafourcade.com/&source=gmail&ust=1496752269460000&usg=AFQjCNEbbfDYbRRWENewLlsBH7iILS_T5A" href="http://www.architecture-lafourcade.com/" target="_blank">
Alexandre Lafourcade</a>, an expert in restoring historic properties
with an office in Saint-Remy, was in charge of the restoration and decor
of the hotel.

<span class="m_-5222526714256777373gmail-notranslate">Our room was
conveniently located overlooking the park and the breakfast area where
every morning there is a different menu reinvented by the chef, served
and brought to you on a platter. Fruit and rose salad, Vanilla cream,
French toasts, ... </span><br />
<span class="m_-5222526714256777373gmail-notranslate">We had the
pleasure of dining at the hotel Le Champ de Lunes gourmet restaurant
which was recently awarded with 1 Michelin Star and its modern food with
local ingredients for sure awakened all our senses.
</span><br />
<br />
<span class="notranslate">The Hotel provides excellent <a href="http://www.domainedefontenille.com/en/activites">amenities</a> throughout the year from wine tasting courses in the modern cellar, exhibitions, open-air cinema, concerts and special events for Christmas season. </span><span class="m_-5501138333268358363gmail-notranslate">The first night of our stay we enjoyed a Latin
Music night where old school Cuban music was played live while children
were playing around the garden and adults naturally sat on the

I'm looking for the perfect white summer dress, if such exists. Not too long, not too short, not too tight, not too cheesy.... Flowing and soft but a statement of sort, maybe some embroidery but not necessarily. One that can transition from summer afternoon walks to outdoor sunset-dining while sipping some Riesling... One with wide sleeves that would allow my arms to pass above my shoulders will be ideal...<br />

Alfredo Paredes Manhattan home with stunning arched steel casement doors which make this space so spectacular. </div>
I get so smitten every time I see a room with steel casement windows
or doors, gladly they are getting more and more popular as we can see
their beautiful presence in almost every design magazine issue lately. I
like to see them in all their different uses
from windows to doors to kitchen cabinets to shower enclosure although,
I have to say that they reign more when used as French patio doors.
After all, there are wood French patio doors and there are
<i>steel casement French patio doors</i> with the last one being within
its simplicity, extremely elegant and restrained. Steel doors and
windows look their best when used against clean concrete walls in more
industrial or country settings but they can also
look pretty seamless when used against stone walls. <br />
Steel windows and doors are somewhat a kind of a
design import from France where it has been used abundantly from Paris
to the country side. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Usually Ranch and sophisticated are two words we don't find in the same
sentence. However Interior Design well planned and executed can do
wonders as it's proved in this Upstate New York ranch designed by <a href="http://www.delatorredesign.com/">Ernest de la Torre</a>. The <a href="http://www.elledecor.com/design-decorate/house-interiors/a9915795/ranch-house-upstate-new-york/">home</a> the designer renovated
from top to bottom for his family is full of designers furniture an
element more associated with urban dwellers and a collection of art that
is more than inspiring. Ernest de la Torre shares the Hudson River
ranch with his husband, Kris Haberman, and their
son, Parker. The couple lived eight years in the house before
undertaking the renovation. The combination of rusticity and modern
elements make this ranch a perfect home for any self-proclaimed
urbanite.
<br />
One of the things I admire more in design in general is the result of
a design that is unique, different and out of the ordinary and common.
Sadly I see a trend in social media where all design looks the same.
It's refreshing to see that top magazines
like <a href="http://www.elledecor.com/design-decorate/house-interiors/a9915795/ranch-house-upstate-new-york/">Elle Decor</a> are not losing their direction and continue unto
providing the world of design with endless unique and personalized
inspirations. It's important to keep an open mind and look outside just
Pinterest when it comes to motivation. <span class="im"><br />
“I like things to be unique,” says de la Torre, “so that someone
can’t come along and say, ‘Well, I could do that too.’ I’d rather create
something new.”<br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">When we started <a href="https://juliepaulinodesign.com/"><span class="m_8965941343311902889gmail-m_9134271795123176737gmail-il">remodeling</span> our <span class="m_8965941343311902889gmail-m_9134271795123176737gmail-il">home</span></a>
I knew we were not going to live here forever, I also knew what many
people know, that the time of the housing boom
was over. Knowing that, my choices on materials and structural changes
needed to be more cautious, but I didn't want to sacrifice style or
comfort. So I kept the kitchen and bathrooms as traditional and neutral
as possible, something that would appeal to most people, in case one
day we decided to sell this house.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">For
our master bathroom I mixed "real and steal" materials: marble mosaic
in calacatta gold for the floor, chair rail (to end the tiles that I
extended 12" up the wall, below) and the pencil border that frames the
walk-in shower. The shower walls are in porcelain that look exactly
like calacatta gold marble. It's funny the tile installer didn't know
it wasn't marble until he saw the back of it. The vanity is custom made.</span></div>

master bathroom is on the small side so I installed a programmable tile
warmer, a luxury feature that will compensate for the lack of space.</span></span></div>

knows that faucets can be expensive. For the shower faucets I
simply left out unnecessary things such as volume control handles.
The main shower handle does the
volume control already so why buy an extra one? I wanted to create a
luxury experience for my shower with more than one water source without
having to pay top money for it. I got the big overhead
shower at Lowe's where the handheld shower is a combination of one of
those
handles that come with the shower I just replaced the hose for one that
you can connect separately and got the set of handles with its
respective valves at a trade showroom. This way I was able to have two
separate shower sources with two separate faucets. After doing all that
math and
the research I became more savvy about plumbing and my hubby keeps
telling me that I like to complicate my life. But when he enjoys a
shower with more than one water source all hitting his body he gets to
understand why I like to complicate my life and why I always choose to
go through the less traveled road. Whatever you think it's possible
it's because it is!</span></div>

owners think of when it comes to renovating bathrooms or kitchens to
give it a luxurious feel. That choice however can add up to thousands
of
dollars. One way to have the same feeling for a fraction of the cost is
by mixing materials that are durable and less costly with high end
ones. Look for porcelain tiles that look like marble. Marble-looking
porcelain and ceramic nowadays are almost indistinguishable from the
real deal. Porcelain tiles are easy to maintain, lightweight and provide
the flexibility of being used either indoors or even outdoors for an
outdoor patio. They come in all different finishes and color range.
You get the look of marble with the durability of porcelain. A win win
situation.</span><br />

Consider mosaic or smaller tiles for the shower floor</b></i>. Usually big
tiles can be slippery when wet. Small tiles such as mosaic, regardless
of the finish and shape are soothing to the touch, making your experience
in your shower a lot more relaxing. </span></span></div>

<i>Using an antique or vintage dresser as vanity</i>.</b> It's more affordable
than custom or a new model. It's also way more charming than a brand
new one giving your bathroom a more customized look. It can easily be converted into a bathroom vanity by opening a
hole to install the sink. </span></span></div>

<i> Bathtub, Shower or both.</i></b> Think about how your days go. Do you feel
about taking a bath for relaxation after a long and stressful day or are
you the type that needs a shower to reinvigorate yourself? Or maybe you
would rather have both, considering you have enough space to splurge.
Now a days bathtubs come in many different sizes from small ones to big
ones to fit many bathroom sizes</span></div>

<i>Add two water sources to your shower</i>.</b> There is nothing more relaxing
and soothing than having a shower with two separate water sources. The
overhead shower and the handle shower can be installed to function
separately. For example, in our master bathroom I got the big overhead
shower at a hardware store and the handheld is a combination of one of
those handles that come with the shower. I just replaced the hose with one
that you can connect separately and got the set of handles with its
respective valves separately. That way I'm able to enjoy both water sources open
at the same time whenever I choose</span></div>

<i>Add wall niches or built-in-shelves to utilize spaces without taking

Position your lighting smartly</i></b>. What is your routine in the bathroom,
what's the atmosphere you would like in it? If you use your vanity to
put on makeup in the mornings, consider adding sconces. If your budget
allows, add extra windows or skylight for more natural light. Add a
dimmer switch to control the lighting in your bathroom for different
atmospheres throughout the day.</span></div>

<i>Add a towel warmer.</i></b> Adding a towel warmer to your bathroom will ensure
you a much pleasant feeling after you take your shower. Nothing beats
the feeling of a crisp warm towel especially during winter. A towel
warmer will keep your towel from smelling damp and bacteria free which
translates into having a healthy skin.</span></div>

<br />
De Stijl, "the style" in Dutch, was an artistic period born in The Netherlands in 1917. The movement's ideology is one of Universal Unification. The artistic proposition of De Stijl is simplicity and abstraction in asymmetric rectangular and square planes where the only colors used were the primary colors, commonly red, yellow, black. Cubism. <br />
The Artistic Period's centenary is celebrated throughout The Netherlands with many Museum exhibitions. More information <a href="http://www.holland.com/global/tourism/holland-stories/mondrian-to-dutch-design.htm">here</a>.<br />

because summer and all its glory is here. It culturally starts this
weekend with the celebration of Labor Day although officially a bit
later. As the Sun sets later and the <span class="m_-2424686905128355649gmail-_Tgc">Rosé</span> is
ready for happy hour, the nail polishes get lighter in beautiful pastel
colors. From Guerlain's light purple-tone nail lacquer base, for
those looking for a very subtle touch of color to Yves Saint Laurent 's
bright yellow for those more unique and adventurous.<br />

When I came across this modern home designed by <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://pablopaniagua.es/en/home/&source=gmail&ust=1495801052316000&usg=AFQjCNGZ6D7yD2Tnz_l4Jaiv_El_iiKvTQ" href="http://pablopaniagua.es/en/home/" target="_blank">
Pablo Paniagua</a>, the custom black and white geometric floors stopped
me on my tracks. If not for the visual impact, then for what it does to
the space. The way the elongated diamond-shaped pieces of marble are
placed forming a big half fan, creates a central
focal point while consequently elevating the entire space. What a
clever way to enhance the architecture of an entryway. Pablo Paniagua’s
modern style in Interiors has been a blogger-favorite for a while as
you can see in this
<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://www.bellevivir.com/2012/10/a-modern-classic-home.html&source=gmail&ust=1495801052316000&usg=AFQjCNEOSqKCohLNoyVRmKwluSnt3qVxpQ" href="http://www.bellevivir.com/2012/10/a-modern-classic-home.html" target="_blank">house</a>
through which the Madrid based designer became more well known among
Interior Design Blogs. While I found this house in his online
portfolio, there is not much information about
it. Although it's all there, the modern and classic details
intermingle with jewel tones here and there. Enjoy!<br />

It's impossible to not feel our heavy hearts after such a tragedy.
This time it happened in Manchester, England at Ariana Grande's
concert. Parents, family members and friends are suffering the loss of
loved ones for absolutely no reason what so ever other
than crazy minded people, who also happen to be big time losers... I
agree on that one. Sometimes the best way to escape mentally from the
chaos is by getting inspired by dreamy scenarios like the Chelsea Flower
Show that is currently happening in London. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On another note, today also happens to be my
husband's birthday which is an occasion to celebrate in the middle of
disturbance, some level of happiness and hope. Happy Birthday to my
husband, the best man I could've ever asked for. I love
you to the moon and back. </div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">This
Spanish Style home in Palm Beach, designed by <a href="http://www.dkda.com/">David Kleinberg</a> exudes a
modern sophistication rooted in the classics that stands the test of
time. Traditional
coffered ceilings take a modern turn with geometric shapes in cypress
wood, in many of the graciously spacious rooms, traditional line
furniture get an up-to-date feeling with shimmery and leather
upholstery fabrics. <a href="http://www.bellevivir.com/2013/02/a-chic-manhattan-makeover.html">David Kleinberg</a>'s design has a great
modern take on traditional Interior Design and I always get very
excited to see his work. David has worked with these clients before, so
many of the furniture fit seamlessly in this new home. There are many reasons
why working with an Interior Designer is a good idea and choosing
the right furniture that can be passed on though generations is one of
them. David redid the entryway by replacing the iron railing and honing
the limestone floor. The entry of this Palm Beach estate is actually
my favorite part of the house for its modern
interpretation of classic elements. </span></span><br />

In a beautiful lace dress designed by Giles Deacon, Pippa Middleton married James Marshall yesterday at St. Mark's Church in Englefield, Berkshire. The Duchess of Cambridge, Pippas's sister wore an elegant and soft pink dress by Alexander McQueen. All the images that have surfaced the web are so dreamy and beautiful, they are like a breath of fresh air especially in these days when everything seems to not make much sense. <br />

The warmer weather is here and so is the need for comfortable summer items.<br />

While searching about this black and white kitchen in the image above, I
came across the sitting area of another kitchen that looked as they
belonged together, sort of like a Dream Kitchen. The black and white
kitchen with ceiling-high subway tiles and dark grout was designed by <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://tamaramagel.com/interiors/&source=gmail&ust=1495214941380000&usg=AFQjCNGl3yXVZG4K2E7SQbUdl1QEmRAFPg" href="http://tamaramagel.com/interiors/" target="_blank">
Tamara Magel</a> while the would-be other side of the "Dream Kitchen" with a more neutral, earthy tones was designed by
<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://www.huniford.com/&source=gmail&ust=1495214941380000&usg=AFQjCNGzlqnGB5X0OQ-fDfqK-yozJF5yVw" href="http://www.huniford.com/" target="_blank">Huniford</a>.
Their aesthetics and atmospheres are very similar to each other,
especially when the exposed beam ceiling is a shared interior
architectural detail. The shared color in both kitchens is white,
especially in
the first two images where white is on almost every surface except for
the beam ceiling and the black range hood. This is a very relaxing and
clean kitchen, however I believe that the tones in the last two images
are a bit more soothing and warmer due to
the use of earthy tones such as grey, browns, black and the touch of
nature in the form of indoor plants. Such details make a difference
when it comes to creating an atmosphere in interiors.

The choice of glass doors
for the upper cabinets give this kitchen an open feeling. It also
softens up the exposed beam ceiling.

Mark D Sikes Patio Summer version </div>
<a href="http://markdsikes.com/">Mark D Sikes</a> has quickly become a very popular Interior Designer
thanks to his All-American, exquisite timeless style as it's greatly
represented in his beautiful West Hollywood outdoor patio. Not to
mention his own home which has been featured in probably
every single Interior Design blog. I myself became acquainted with
Mark's beautiful work when posting his black bathroom a few years back.
But since summer is almost here and we're all yearning for a
comfortable and inviting outdoor patio ready for entertaining,
a venue to throw a party or two, we are relying on Mark's outdoor patio
for some style inspiration. What I love most about <a href="http://markdsikes.com/">Mark D Sikes</a> exquisite choices for his outdoor living space is the smart, four level
terraces he created to enhance the architecture
of the space. Regulars would just install a deck, fake wood included,
but why be regular when you can afford to be exquisite, and when you are Mark D
Sikes excellence is the only way. Good design planning pays off as in
Mark's case, where his lovely patio can be seen
from almost every room inside the house. The fountain he redesigned
and replaced can be heard from even the bedrooms upstairs, how soothing
that must be... I saw a few before pictures of the patio where all there
was a neglected hill. After seeing the transformation
from a haphazard patio to a sophisticated brick paved outdoor living
space, my appreciation for well design spaces is further enhanced, from
Interiors, to patios to landscaping to a whole new level. It's amazing
what good taste and good design can create.
I love to see before pictures, that's when you can see the real magic. <br />
<span class="im">
Mark told <a href="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/how-to-winterize-your-outdoor-space-mark-d-sikes">Architectural Digest</a> “To me the outdoors are really just an
extension of the indoors, so when designing, I think of the two spaces
holistically and try to find the connection from the inside to the
outside."<br />
</span>I've seen two versions of Mark's outdoor patio, one is the
Winter and the other the Summer. Both versions share the same harmony
with sitting spaces using comfortable cushions for the iron patio
outdoor furniture, boxwood, ivy, hedges and lots of classic
blue and white pottery as accent and decorating objects throughout.
The winter version of the patio has more neutral tones in beige and
browns whereas the summer version holds a blue and white palette.<br />

The living room Of Caroline Sieber's London home with its custom tropical wallpaper by Zuber makes such a focal point, no need for wall art.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.bellevivir.com/2014/01/a-lesson-in-style-caroline-sieber.html">Caroline Sieber</a>'s London home is a colorful oasis that aims to bring
the happy touch to the often grey days of London. The house that she
shares with her husband Fritz von Wetenholz and their daughter is
located in the leafy Notting Hill neighborhood and
the result of the design is a combination of the couples respective childhood homes aesthetics. The
colorful house was designed by the couple in an eclectic way “something
more contemporary, younger… feminine but not ditzy.” Caroline says. The
living room which runs the entire depth of the
house is covered in a custom tropical wallpaper by Zuber, with
is a mixture of furniture from different styles such as a gilded
Victorian-looking sofa, a marble cocktail table designed by the couple
and other furniture pieces from the nineteenth century. The house was published in the November issue of <a href="http://www.vogue.com/article/caroline-sieber-london-home-notting-hill">Vogue</a> 2015.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Poppy Delevingne's luxurious bathroom is like a gift that keeps on
giving. It's also a girl's dream with <a href="http://www.bellevivir.com/2014/02/home-decor-white-marble-bathroom-brass-fixture.html">marble</a> covering counter tops,
shower and floors and accents of polished <a href="http://www.bellevivir.com/2014/02/home-decor-white-marble-bathroom-brass-fixture.html">brass fixtures</a>. Delevingne's
bathroom is right up my alley. The walls are covered
in a De Gournay green wallpaper, but don't fret, the luxurious
wallpaper seems to be protected from water and moisture, thanks to the
glass enclosed marble-covered shower, as you can spot in this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pn1RKr6SC4o">video</a> she

Lately dresses and tops are all about soft layers of classic romantic
ruffles. I remember when growing up my mother used to dress my sister
and me the same and ruffle skirt dresses were usually the norm. Now,
although this season's dress is casual and playful,
the Ruffle Dress, is in no way like the ones I used to wear as a kid.
Coming in versions of off shoulders or cold shoulder, asymmetrical
skirts in soft fabric, plain or flowery, they are ideal for day city
walking as well as for evenings.<br />

I was happy to receive these images yesterday of the room designed by <a href="https://www.robertstilin.com/">Robert Stilin</a> for this year's <a href="http://www.kipsbaydecoratorshowhouse.org/">2017 Kips Bay Decorator's Show house</a>.
The room was inspired by a contemporary European salon where luxury and
comfort coexist. The selection of collectible furniture and respectful art collection are set against
a backdrop of dry and subtle marmorino plaster walls. Details such as of Cashmere from by Loro Piana, alpaca
fabrics and layered carpets lend a luxe tone to the functional and
relaxing room. Robert describes his vision as " For this room I created
a space that showcases the type of work we do for our private clients
in the city, a space for a New Yorker who is well traveled,
sophisticated, interested in arts and politics and who has amassed a
great collection of art, furniture and objects. we see the homeowner
using this space to relax with a book, or to entertain friends and

It's always inspirational to see home renovations resulting in unique
stylish spaces, as is the case of the Greenwich, Connecticut home of
Interior Designer Emma Jane Pilkington and her family. After living in
Paris and New York, Emma, eager for more space,
moved to Greenwich, Ct. with her family. The house had major flaws
that needed serious work. Small rooms, low ceilings and tiny windows
were among those. The massive undertaking took three years and the help
of architect Joel Barkley, who also did an addition
that serves as living and dining area. The interior decor is composed
of great antiques, cozy upholstered furniture and 17th and 18th-century
marble fireplaces. Some of the furniture pieces came for Emma's
previous apartment in New York, which I previously posted <a href="http://www.bellevivir.com/2010/06/emma-jane-pilkington-pied-terre.html">here</a>. The result of this
new dream home is the right balance of European meet American style,
worth enough to leave the City for.</div>
