Today I have a few things I want to share with you.
First, the Winter Issue of Milieu is out and I really think this issue was put together with me in mind. OK, OK, I wasn’t actually consulted, but if I was – this would be my dream issue. First, there is story on Mimmi O’Connell, the Italian born designer who now makes London’s chic Eaton Square her home. I’ve been in LOVE with Mimmi’s eclectic style for years and years and she was sweet enough to send me photographs of her apartment when I first started the blog. In the Winter Issue, Milieu visits her gorgeous townhouse and the photographs are wonderful.
This is just a small portion of her large reception room. Just look at those Chinese chairs! And those blue and white vases! And the 18th century side tables. I love the new linen from Claremont that covers her upholstered chairs and the unique way she handles the cushions. She is such a stickler for symmetry.
Mimmi is massively talented – she combines English interiors with furniture and interiors from the Far East in the most unique way. She uses simple ticking stripes in different colorways, often in the same room, and mixes them with antique elm and rattan furniture from China and Japan. Red and black are often her accent colors.
The photographs in Milieu are fabulous, as is the story.
Another fabulous story is this house by Shannon Bowers which is located on a wooded lakeside lot. It was completely renovated. In this room – the focal point becomes the newly placed beautiful antique mantel. I’m obsessed with the assortment of chairs here. The house is all about texture mixed with white walls and linens and antique tables and chairs. Bowers has such a great eye and it’s an education to study her projects and contemplate her choices. I learn more from photographs of her work than I did in college.
There’s more - including a spread on a house in New Orleans by my personal favorite Gerrie Bremermann. There’s a mirror above a fireplace that is beyond gorgeous. And the dining room, with its art filled walls, is my favorite room in the house.
On the Milieu web site – Pam Pierce invites us into her house to see how her family celebrates Christmas. That tree! I love it!!!!
Pierce’s fireplace decorated for the holidays – all green and white. No red, thank you very much.
Her dining room. Those roses. Love the plain corner tree.
I don’t think we’ve seen her staircase before?
And, now for the big news:
Want to have a room in your house designed by Pamela Pierce? Yes?? Me too! Well, now – this is your chance.

Need some last minute gift ideas?…
My favorite pillows are from BViz – where Rebecca Vizard custom designs pillows using antique textiles, Fortuny fabrics, and all kinds of wonderful trims. The design magazines are filled with interiors that have her pillows. When shopping for Christmas gifts – be sure to take a look at BViz’s web site – they have all sorts of wonderful things besides pillows!
They have these darling stockings made from Suzani fabrics.
And there are stockings made from Fortuny fabrics.
They have these cute Fortuny ornament/packages.
Any my own dogs have these Fortuny collars and leashes. They are fabulous!!!

Gorgeous! I love colour, but these rooms with their holiday decor are so peaceful.
ReplyDeleteAll that white is seriously beautiful! I'm in love with the Christmas fireplace!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE everything she does!! I have devoured that issue!! I am a subscriber and have resubscribed as well. I could sure use her help with my master bedroom!!
ReplyDeleteAlong with blogger Tamera Beardsly, I recently attended a wonderful French Christmas Cooking and Decor Luncheon hosted by Andrea from The French Basketeer. Mlle. Andrea speaks French, was educated in France and currently owns a home in France. One of the great lessons we learned from her was that the French decorate their homes very simply at Christmas. These rooms from Mileau are the very epitome of French elegance and restraint.

I read "how to get wrinkles out of linens with an iron" on the Vero site. Great site! And I love your blog!
ReplyDeleteIt would be a dream to have a room in my home decorated by Pamela Pierce. I love the pictures of her home at Christmas.

I went to Vero's website and saw the blog about the difference between sateen and satin sheets. I liked this explanation - easy to understand. Hope to win some beautiful Vero white sateen sheets. cptara@aol.com

I received this issue of Milieu 2 weeks ago, my first issue and I loved it. My favourite article was the Gerrie Bremermann one - very Gerrie.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have Pamela Pierce design my home, she's my all time favourite designer. I live oceans and continents away from Texas so I don't think that would happen.
