Windsor Smith

I wanted to share some of the beautiful work from California based designer, Windsor Smith. She is known to mix antiques with modern elements. Windsor Smith even designed the Veranda showhouse (which also featured works of other designers) that was purchased by Gwneth Paltrow, who we know has impeccable taste. You can bring a little Windsor Smith into your home as she has a fabric line with Kravat, her own home line and Room in a Box design service.

Exotic touch mixed with the modern with the marrakech type shape of the side tables to the pagoda style  light in the kitchen.

Herringbone Fireplace

Now that it's starting to get chilly out, fireplaces are getting a little more attention. While I don't use my fireplace,  I am still looking at mine and wishing it had a nice herringbone design on the inside in the firebox. Here are some herringbone inspirations I love.
