Go {here} to create a universal wishlist  (it allows you to add items from any website.)

Once you have the wishlist feature in place, visit the emporium and look for your list to appear on the bottom right of the page.  I use it not only as my "wishlist" for gifts I'd like to receive, but just as an organizational tool to keep track of items I like and may buy for myself or the house or gifts for others.

Design Daily - Axel Vervoordt

Axel Vervoordt

Axel Vervoordt began purchasing antiques in his teens and has steadily built a vast collection of exquisite objects from around the world. He is renowned for his prestigious exhibitions at major world antique fairs, including the New York Design Fair and TEFAF Maastricht. His interior designs, in both traditional and modern settings around the world, combine antiques from all continents with a Zen sensuality, and they blend the old with the new to create harmonious interiors. His unusual pairings may include Chinese porcelain with English furniture or a Roman relic alongside a 1930s Flemish painting.

The extent of Vervoordt’s talent is revealed in the twenty-three homes in Europe and the United States presented here through Christian Sarramon’s photographs. The variety of styles reflects Vervoordt’s eclecticism, and his authentic and welcoming interiors are inspirational treasure troves. From the rustic charm of a Swiss chalet to the classic finesse of a Bordeaux château to the modern allure of a Miami mansion, Vervoordt’s creations are perfectly in tune with the character and history of each space.  -book description via Amazon.

Design Daily - from the pages of French Home...

..

This beautifully illustrated book explores the elements that combine to create spaces with an identifiably French feel:  the architectural details that enhance the framework of a room; the textures and colours that flatter various styles of furniture; options for lighting, mirrors, and paintings.  Looking at real homes, antiques dealer and stylist Josephine Ryan demonstrates a keen eye for objects both ordinary and extraordinary, and examines the alchemy of a style that can be either lush and complex or pared-down and rigorous.-excerpts from the publisher's description.
