In case you haven’t already seen it, Todd Selby has a beautiful look inside the Paris home of Jacques Grange at The Selby. I love the photo of him with the book in front of the Lalanne piece. And those who have already purchased the book are raving about it so start brushing up on your French! Bon Weekend!

I take a painting class every Friday. I love to paint seascapes. The teacher puts on some wonderfully soft music and brews us Cinnamon Tea. I sit on my stool and try to imagine the real sea. While I paint my mind wanders and I dream of where I would paint if I was “real” artist. Here is a picture of an artist’s loft in NYC. It comes pretty close to my dream.

Platforms replace walls to define the living space. To the right is the painting studio to the left the living area. Raw industrial surfaces provide the backdrop for art and sculpture. A large skylight lets in daylight to paint by.

The client’s desire to leave the space as open as possible led to this luminous fabric sleeping enclosure. Isn’t this so romantic?

I love the spare furnishings – what a wonderfully unique side table.

The client likes to cook and entertain. The spacious open kitchen features a 1925 bistro table that seats 16 people. I could have some great parties here!

Just wanted to give you a peek of where I dream about painting when I finally get discovered!

Normally I wouldn’t post two books in a row but since Jean-Philippe Delhomme created the advertising for The Mark Hotel that Jacques Grange just redesigned, they seemed to work together. I was at Rizzoli yesterday and happened to see the new Jacques Grange book by Editions du Regard and was blown away! I was also blown away by the high price of over $130 so I didn’t buy it but that didn’t stop two others from snatching it up while I was there! Did I mention that it’s completely in French?!

These photos that I found online don’t even do it justice. The interior shots are stunning and I can’t wait until an English version, Jacques Grange: Interiors is published by Flammarion in September 2009. Of course, my willpower isn’t that good so there is a distinct possibility that I will pick the French version but that means I will finally have to sign up for a refresher French class if I expect to actually be able to read it. But then again, a picture is worth a thousand words, especially those I can’t understand!

For months I had schemed to get a shelter magazine to profile my apartment, but the morning they finally came was, unfortunately, the day after a rather successful dinner party.

I have loved the work of the French artist Jean-Philippe Delhomme since I first saw his advertisements for Barneys and now I am in love with his new book The Cultivated Life! It is witty compilation of “satiric musings” on artistic, literary and decorating dramas and the first published in English! C’est magnifique!

We love entertaining in our dressing room. It’s a real conversation piece…even our art world friends are delighted!

Just think of this as the Eames chair of the eighteenth century!

In my apartment a definite aesthetic discipline reigns; the unwritten rules of which don’t prevent, unfortunately, a certain common type from loitering here.

Of course it’s gorgeous! But I know there’s a compulsive minimalist inside of me that could burst out any minute.

The more I progress in the field of design, the more I realize how little I actually know – it’s a continual lesson in humility!
