Miles Redd and my favorite apartment of 2009...so far


Last night, I had an amazing time meeting some fellow DC design bloggers (more on that later) and one of the topics we discussed is where we source our images from. I admitted that I felt repetitive posting pictures from recent American mags, and was hoping to find some new international sources.

Well, its been less than 24 hours since I promised myself I would break that habit but I just had to post about this apartment decorated by Miles Redd featured in July's House Beautiful. Obsessed just isn't a strong enough word. The herringbone floors, rich jewel tones and witty details add up to a majorly sophisticated apartment.

I am so in love with this little jewel box of a kitchen. It is so vibrant and completely different from the granite countertop, stainless steel, big island suburban kitchens that have become ubiquitous. This is such an inspiration for my depressing, black hole galley kitchen.

Love the nailhead trim on these doors...

Miles Redd is pretty much the Lebron James of color combos. Flawless.

You'd think putting a desk next to a sofa would look crowded and awkward, but this looks really chic and cozy. Goes to show that a great sense of scale and the ability to edit opens up endless furniture arrangement possibilities.

Confession: I secretly wish I drank enough to justify a bar tray. It's very Mad Men, right?
