Black and White (and a bit in between) by Celerie Kemble

Posted by MAKMU ta On Thursday, January 05, 2012


 


I am a firm believer in the use of black in design, I am sure we all know that.  I think it gives that classic clean edge that every space needs.  I put this book on my Christmas list this year (I am a design book junkie) and I completely LOVE it!  I am amazed by how many of the photos in the book I have used here on the blog. 

Celerie Kemble did a great job in bringing some great interiors together and she even has a chapter devoted to my sweet grey!!  So I have still got to read more of it but I thought I would let you all know that it is a great hard copy of some really great design photos out there with some great content on design itself brought to you in a very down to earth way.

Also, I added a little design library link on the bottom of the blog if you are looking for some great inspiration in hard copy most of my favorites are there!

Creating a Home

Posted by MAKMU ta On Tuesday, January 11, 2011

Creating a home is at the core of my life and work philosophy, a home filled with warmth, beauty, whimsy, style and humor. There are many out there who share this passion and one of them is the interior and textile designer Kathryn M. Ireland. When I heard of her book signing at Brooke Gianetti's store a few weeks ago I was a bit sad, that I was unable to bridge those 2462 miles...But in my mind

A little bit of reading before bedtime

Posted by MAKMU ta On Thursday, November 11, 2010

Often the only reading time I can squeeze in is at night or late in the day, when chores and homework are done...And apart from my passion for great stories comes a desire for lovely editions. One I have just discovered is a rather new line of books by the Boston/New York publisher Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. What a great name for a publishing house. It promises so much...My romantic ideas of an

It is always an inspiration and great entertainment to sit and browse through a new book by a beloved designer.Below a resent selection found in the bookstore near me!Vicente Wolf's style has captured my style sensibilities since I got to know his work more the 15 years ago. Her work is fabulous and a great inspiration for me. Light, modern and the best of traditional style fusion.Timeless
