A Monochromatic Cabin in Megève

While many rich and famous take the first month of the year vacationing to warmer weather destination, others like myself go back to work and duty.   Unnaturally though I would rather be somewhere else where there is a lot of snow and mountains- at least for a very short time.  A Cabin like this one in Megève to come back to after a long day of skiing (with an aching body from all the falls) is of course part of that wish.  The basic black and white of this cottage is very soothing and fitting for the million dollar view of the Swiss Alps, however I would rather have seen a bit more shades of brown throughout.  The cowhide chairs for instance are the queen of this house, what do you think? The kitchen with its monochromatic palette is a big focal point of the cabin and the tulip chairs with rabbit pillows are also a great warm detail.  Enjoy!
In this room there is a lot of mixed textures.  The curtains are made of mohair, the table is white lacquered with a metal base and the pillows of the tulip chairs are upholstered in rabbit skin.  :(
A much better view of the dining room.  Love the flowers.
Even though the kitchen is a bit on the cold side, I like it.
That hanging bubble chair calls for cot coco and a fake fur blanket
 Good and enough storage for a vacation home.

An Artist's home in Bavaria

While in Buenos Aires a couple of weeks ago I bought a the November edition of Architectural Digest Spain where they showcase a home of an anonymous artist (yes, some people do so well don't need the publicity) who inherited a home in Bavaria.  The house was built in the 60's and he smartly decided to furnish it with nothing less than gorgeous pieces of furniture from the same period.  Most of the furniture is by Philippe Hiquily.  The result is a perfect setting of a very spare and sophisticated home with an good amount of gold throughout that assures me this owner's work should be amazing.  I took photos with my iPhone to share the beauty of this home with you.  Enjoy!
The white sideboard is by Raymond Loewy
The sofa is upholstered in a Manuel Canovas velvet.  The two beautiful gold chairs and side gold table are by Philippe Hiquily.  The painting is by Neruth.
