Oh Idarica Gazzoni, ti amo! Rather than attempt a poetic description of the dynamite scale, patterns and color of this Italian dynamo’s Iznik-inspired fabrics and wallpapers, I am going to let the pictures do the talking (if you are not familiar with traditional Turkish Iznik patterns, click here to see some images). The only thing you are missing with these pictures are my shreiks of delight as I spot the next fabric…
God I love these flying mustaches (not the technical name fyi…)
Yesterday, after having my mind blown by the Malick Sidibe show, Kate and I hit up the shops in Almont Yard looking for some goodies for clients. I am here to report that pretty things abound in that little commune of stores! First stop, Nathan Turner’s lovely store, where we spied these divine photographs by Oberto Gili. I love the simplicity of the images and the whole cycle of life thing…
Next up was Harbinger, which is actually comprised of two different shops. The first is home base for the interior design firm, Lucas Studio, and full of swank, one of a kind vintage pieces. These folks really have style coming out of their ears. Check out this rustic chic tablescape and groovy sort of African boho room setting:
Hey people. I’m Molly Luetkemeyer (loot-kah-my-er, just so we can get that out of the way). I have been a practicing interior designer at my firm, M. Design Interiors for the past 10 years (for the full back story, check out my about page). My ongoing mission is to guide clients to create personal, comfortable, chic homes that reflect their needs and particular tastes. No one should live in a showroom or someone else's house. Period. I am inspired by a range of sources from modern and contemporary art to nature, fashion and vintage design books to stuff I see on the street. It’s always coming at me and I want to share a little of it with you.
So take a look and as always, let me know what you think at molly at mdesignla dot com!
