Eclectic Style

Fashion Designer Nanette Lepore has the most incredible home, as feature in Metropolitan Magazine. Nanette and her husband and daughter found this place in Manhattan's West Village. After having it renovated, they hired none other than, of course, Jonathan Adler for the decor work (I guess I'm on an Adler kick lately).

 You know how Rachel Zoe always says, "I die"... I think my catch phrase for homes like this is "I drool." Hmmm... no? Don't think that phrase will catch on? K, well, worth a try. :)


Seriously, have a look at these drool-worthy photos:
 This living room is my absolute favorite room.
The article describes the color palette, on paper, as "a funky '70s tapestry: teal, eggplant, acid-green, plum, cocoa, orange, lipstick-red." However, Adler reined in the color scheme by keeping the wall white allowing the textiles to act as the "juicy shades," Adler says. 
My favorite pieces are the tufted leather ottoman, Wagner Bear Chair, and the flea market find Eva Peron portrait.

Next fave is this living room: Platner chairs, gold curtains, chandelier, teal velvet tufted ottoman... fabulous.
The artwork paired with the green chair upholstery and vintage vistosi chandelier makes this chic dining room also feel eclectic and curated.

Well, maybe this room is my favorite. Or maybe I just love them all!  The sofa, chair and ottoman, and sconces are all vintage.


This scarlet kitchen by Schiffini is surprising to me!

I love what Adler says about her "gypsy-like" dressing room: "Every inch is like a cake with amazing embellishments and gorgeous textures." The article says that "Vintage frocks span one wall, Lepore's own designs hang on another, and there is row upon row of shoes. It is the boudoir of a chic magpie, someone with joie de vivre."
LOVE her closet (the poodle's name is Bunny- CUTE!)

The bedroom is surprisingly simple, with a few splashes of citron, pink, and blue.

Fabulously minimal bathroom

Her daughter Violet has SUCH a cool room. Velvet orange daybed, fuschia walls, powder blue chair, and Jonathan Adler printed pillows? So cool.

Don't you just want to be Nanette? Her home is sturely a true representation of her style. Just look at some of her spring 2010 collection :




Nanette is so cool.

Cheeky Color

 
Jonathan Adler for Liz Lange
 

 
  
  
  
  
  
 
Liz Lange's airy beach home designed by Jonathan Adler
Photos from House Beautiful.

Jonathan's design approach: "We painted all the floors white, which is something I always love to do for instant happiness. Color is a great way to express playfulness. Throughout the house, we used turquoise, yellow, lime green, black and white, with nothing toned down. One of the nice things is that it's a light-filled house, and the colors just crank that up to the next level...

"We went with a programmatic approach — the black and white foundation infused with single punches of color. 

"In the foyers and living room, it's black and white with a splash of turquoise. 

"We built on that in the dining room, adding lemon yellow to the mix. 

There's a purity to the colors and a purity to the nature of the design that reflects Liz's strong sense of who she is."



Since one of my strengths is color consulting, I completely LOVE Jonathan's approach to color for this project!  The dining room is one of my favorite dining rooms maybe EVER! Look for a Designer CopyCat post on this room!!!

What's your favorite room? Do you like this bright palette with fun splashes of color? Or would it overwhelm you?
