Jackson Square in New OrleansA wig and a dream - Mardi Gras 2011
No that picture is not Rita Konig.
I have the Ash Wednesday blues. Alberto and I had a great time in the French Quarter yesterday (Mardi Gras). It was an overcast day with an afternoon shower. We walked everywhere, danced tango in the street, had a delish lunch at Pere Antoine's, and made it home by 6:30. Check out Alberto's (Paz) Facebook page for photos and videos.
In the meantime, back to some decor posts.
This is an apartment for sale at Manhattan House in New York City, where Rita Konig the designer, stylist, and columnist (Wall Street Journal, New York Times, the defunct Domino, etc.), did up a model apartment.
This view of the living room showcases Konig's love for styling a coffee tableI love the way the bookcases are arranged
The use of trays, one on the coffee table,
and two holding bar items on the sofa table are nice
Funny, but from this angle the coffee table doesn't look as goodLove the little green antique table
Another view of the living roomNice mix of furniture
The dining areaLove the yellow chairs
What do you think of the paper lantern?
The hall into the bedroom is painted a wonderful blue-greenYou just see a peek into the bedroom
I spy a Suzani on the bed
Wallpaper in the bathroomI like what Rita did. She made a model apartment look lived in and interesting. The mix of furniture and accessories works really well. Do any of you get to style model homes or apartments? I guess it's called staging.
Next time I'll show you what Celerie Kemble did in a model apartment in this building.
It's fascinating that top name designers are doing staging like this. I wonder if it helps sell the apartments.
