One more floating home in Dubai
Floating homes have come a long way since Sophia Loren and Cary Grant fixed up that disastrous looking one in the movie Houseboat.
This one is however in to the millions.
I have to say tho, I could handle this. This is my favorite table shape. What a perfect room for a beautiful sunset and a some Chet Baker.
Wow!! I love how metropolitan this feels, like an uptown penthouse, but still not encroached upon by streets and cars and noise. It's a contradiction of city dwelling all by itself.

I laugh out loud at the outrageous proposal of strapping a couple of outboard motors on my house and leaving town for some warmer tropical place. Awesome!!!

Some Weekend lovlies with no particular reason...
Sometimes we see things collectively with no plan. Just that they look beautiful together that day. Here are some that inspire me today.
Love the white leather pouffe.
This velvet chaise is just exquisite. Love the cloud of the floor rug. Just such pretty aqua.
All the shades of pink one needs.
Ooh I'm falling in love with aqua all over again.
I think velvet is on my mind these days because I know fall isn't far away and I secretly cheer for it to come. To me Velvet is the ultimate sumptuous cozy fall texture.

Edward VIII and Wallis Warfield Simpson passed into the history books as the love story of the century.
I thought this was pretty and don't know if they work though. It's a floor decal. Wondering if any of you have tried these yet .
Edward VIII and Wallis Warfield Simpson passed into the history books as the love story of the century.There is something about this shot that really communicates their confidence and joy. I just had to share this today. In the face of all opposing odds, beauty, love, laughter and victory is possible!!!

I know you all work so hard all week and hope you have a restful if not a really fun weekend.

Kensington House
Well here is another beauty on the market in the U.K.
These perspex die cut pieces are so gorgeous. such drama! So modern, but a touch of pretty. I think it really has the right balance.
I am flabbergasted at the uncommon creativity here. Wow!! The hanging remnants of vintage crystal lamp bases astounds me. Like a quiet

I am flabbergasted at the uncommon creativity here. Wow!! The hanging remnants of vintage crystal lamp bases astounds me. Like a quiet stampede.
glorious perfection is all I can say!!
Comfy modern, comfy, comfy. I love the validity this floor lighting brings to the furniture and idea of sitting at this level. It all, oddly seems to make sense.
add candles and a huge pitcher of Bearnaise at each place setting and this is heaven. (of course along with beef tenderloin and roasted root vegetables....mmm.... I'm hungry. note to self. .... never write about food when your hungry.
I love these neutrals. It is what it is.
more perfect balance. This curvy feminine, shapely, exquisite furniture, is contained by the lines on the floor , window coverings and fireplace. I would love to lounge in here with the New York Times and espresso and brioche. can hardly pull myself away from this pic.
Another beautiful room in this residence, yet completely different from the last. I love the art work and again the curvy wind of seating.
So utterly poetic, and looks like someone scribbled on the wall with this mirror. You can see the sense of humor while all the while being acutely aware of the design perfection.

ahhh the view of how these two rooms make perfect sense. I've used the work perfect too many times in this post haven't I?
