You Have GOT to See this New York City Downtown Loft

May 4, 2017 · In: Architecture, Art, Bathroom, Design, Home Tour

Elevate the mundane to the extraordinary…

My breath caught in my chest when I saw the first image.  This is in New York?  Please tell me there’s more was my next thought!  Scroll.  Scroll.  YES!

It had started with the foyer.  That’s where the client told her to begin.  Designer Alexandra Lowe quickly moved from the foyer to the bedroom to the living room until she had completely transformed the client’s New York City Downtown Loft.  By utilizing years and years of collections, Alexandra created spaces that “elevate the mundane to the extraordinary and accommodate an ever-evolving rotation of pochoirs, gouaches, and paintings.”

I work in real estate, which means that a lot of my clients are moving, thinking about moving, or are on the precipice of… you guessed it… moving.

They also seem to have a collective mission to get rid of stuff.  This home will make more of you want to keep your stuff and maximize your collections.  It may make you want to scour estate sales as well!

Some things you might suddenly want to collect:

Pochoir (Layers of stenciled artwork)

Gouches (A paint technique similar to watercolor and acrylic making a baby)

Cherry Hued Antiques

Vintage Handmade Pottery

Vintage Horse Heads! (To replace my bust obsession!  No!  Never!)

Or what about this chocolate colored bench (so yummy you might want to lick it!)

    Like Margaret Mead proposed that a woman need 3 husbands; I think the same philosophy could apply here: 3 different homes. One house like this one, packed to the gills, one that is less embellished yet traditional, and a modern home that has 1 spectacularly embellished room. “Sophie’s Choice”, I think. Agree, that chocolate bench needs to be with me, immediately!

Styling Hacks that Upgrade your home for FREE! Co Styling Hacks that Upgrade your home for FREE!

Comment FREE for more tips, styling hacks (& links if you want them, too!) 

Guys!! If there’s one thing I love about decorating - it’s decorating for free! Your backyard (or even front yard!) are full of great decor! Nature walks become a treasure hunt and your world inside your home can reflect all the beautify of the outdoors. 

Your vessels, vases, bowls, trays… they all become art with these additions!

But why stop there?! What about the food you eat? Bowls of nuts, trays of dried fruit, vessels overflowing with butternut squash and pumpkins?! Eeekkk! It’s all so beautiful! It’s such an honest way to create seasonal decor while also making seasonal living even better! 

Your books? Don’t leave them sitting crammed on a shelf! Open them up to a favorite page that inspires you to live well and even what’s on the menu this week!

The best things in life really are free and you wouldn’t believe the things you can use to create these magnificent moments of joy in your life!

The only question now is… should we make butternut squash chili, butternut squash soup in sourdough bowls or roast them with maple & brown sugar? 

Love you all! XxV

Sorry to break from fall for a minute but the Grand Duchess is BACK IN STOCK!! I waited a year to get mine last year and they sold out so fast that I couldn’t get more for our own home or projects so I already bought two more!! They are WORTH THE HYPE!! I’m tearing up just thinking about how pretty it is with the twinkling lights (& Jack is trying to convince me to put them up now! Haha!)

But seriously, this tree is 1/5 of the price of the designer versions and is truly exquisite!

Ok! I’ll stop talking so you can go get yours!  Yipppeeeee!!!!!
